Has anyone on here done anything like this? I found this guy selling his miata on craigslist. He is running MS with a tablet as his dash. Claims full on the fly tuning capabilities and a digital gauge display.
What do you guys think?
Maybe he is on CR?

I've been researching this for a while now. I would love to know how he did it. Only bad part is people might Wana Jack your stuff :/ maybe a quickly release on the tablet

Why someone would want a giant screen for a gauge/display/instrument panel is beyond me...

I really like the idea a lot. It would let you modify your gauges even for different driving events and tune from the drivers seat with no bulky laptop... My concern is with actual tunability compared to a pc and if the electronic gauges would be dependable and accurate...

Tunerstudio is Tunerstudio -- I'm not really sure what you're getting at here.

Without a keyboard....

Clearly you've never used Tunerstudio before. Tablets have on-screen keyboards as well.

and If you are running it as your gauges, what if it crashes? No speedo while it reboots or anything.

I have zero tuning experience. He says he is using Megatune on it.

What tablet? I have a motorola xoom and I would love to know what apps are available for tuning.

All he said is that he is running windows.

That is weezerfan's car. Running mspnp 95 and megatune on a windows xp tablet I believe.

What makes you think that it's only a giant screen that shows digital gauges..?

 

[wajalama]

And street tuning on the go whenever you want to would be pretty cool and nifty

Thanks Lazyguy, that build thread is exactly what I was hoping to find.

Why else would you want a gigantic screen instead of gauges? To drive around blind? sure.
There is a time and place for everything.

Logging != tuning
