I think the design in that ICC in regards to interface is crap... when I want to see some info, I don't want to see how many grooves are in my tyre... It's rather too complex looking like you need to be an engineer just to use it (engineers wouldn't even use software that complex to read lol) Everything that is possible for software to do, can be done on this ICC once its going... People can with the basic air con system that doesn't have dual zone, can program basic climate control into it, to keep the temp inside at a certain temp, GPS software is widely available for free on the net, air tyre pressure gauges and temp gauges we have already seen Bean hook up... maybe an hours worth of cutting and soldering for someone who knows what they are doing... probably less hey Bean? lolThat system is really cool, but the path this ICC that is the brain child of Bean is taking, I think is alot more user friendly and functional for someone not planning to land on the moon next march (or maybe just before the Chinese do lol)...I mean when using GPS I want to know how far is left, estimate arrival time, and the usual GPS displays, I don't care about all the coordinates and crap like what came up on that screen...IMHO - over kill - at a loss of scope... its a carputer... not a super computer running in some university lolThere is my 50cents worth (yeah being generous) Steve Edited 01/10/08 07:40 AM by glimmerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken it apart, I have removed the CD player section (which actually had a pretty good CD still left in it from the last owner - whoever that was lol) and when I purchased the ICC, they said it still worked... The reason I think there was still a CD in the player was due to a bug having been zapped on the large circuit board, shorting it out, it was the green colored board, which connects in between the CD player and the large part above it that everything seems to interface with, the bug was still there.I have gone and removed that board, and the CD player from the unit, leaving the part of the ICC that connects to the vehicle's port, and all the other parts, like the control boards for user interface, and user input. Will the air conditioning still work with the CD player and the board that sits between it and the large control centre bit removed? ______________________________________________Now onto another point... In order to program a key to the car (or change it from a single something to double something) its in the owner manual for the car.. you use the AS button while inserting the key, turning to accessories on etc etc... you'll find what I mean in the manual.Does this sort of function within the car's ICC, affect your plans for the ICC? - it seems it some how allows it to integrate with the chip in the key, and change certain settings (either on the key, or within the vehicle itself).Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will put the broadcast messages up tonight or tomorrow.Br,Beanie.No probs beanie. Whenever you're ready to go... Would the hardware also be transferable to a double DIN enclosure?
