Hey all, I've been having more odd car thoughts recently, so brace yourselves for possible ridiculousness.
Bolt on heads up displays for cars are pretty widely available these days, but there aren't any customisable ones with detailed car information in them. It's mostly all just speed, sat nav and time.
My idea is for a proper, green, fighter jet style display. I could probably use the same method as installing gauges to get:
engine readouts (oil temperature, a/f ratio etc) displayed on the windshield, saving on gauges.
Tyre pressures
And then use an old android phone or something to get:
Speed
Barometric pressure (for altitude)
Distances and GPS (heading and way points would be sweet too)
Then display the whole lot on a HUD in front of the instrument panel.
Has anyone heard of such a thing being done before? I do a lot of motorway driving and I think it would be cool to have some extra data to monitor, along with not needing gauges.
Any ideas/advice is helpful to me.
