I’m working on figuring out a way to use an Android device and have it come on and off with the key switch. I have no clue how to go about this. Any suggestions? I think I have found a way to make it autostart a certain app namely IQuad of course so that part I can work with.... hopefully within a month I can afford a Qaud!

    This one has a weird color, but you can change that to whatever you like. Also, this is a prototype. Not the finished product. Stuff will change.

    All I got to say is make it bigger than the Smarty Touch screen. That thing is smaller than my LG G5 screen now. I don't want to squint to see the gauges. Remember us old farts out here with crappy ey

Well, I would like to tell you it is stellar and ready to ship, but I can't. There are some features that need to be double checked. There are also some improvements and some functionality that is just missing that will need to be added. 

Also, our only working prototype died after a couple of days, so we can't test any longer. We are working with the developers trying to get something put together to put out there soon. 

-Thanks again, 

tactile buttons for power level increase/decrease would be a nice feature ;)

 

Half the time I'm trying to change a power level while driving down the road with the touch screen app and end up dragging up the gauge add bar thing at the bottom rather than changing power levels cause bumpy roads and such.

A manual button to enable high idle would be pretty cool also. Many times I’m sitting in my truck and want it to high idle but can’t turn high idle on unless I shut the truck off and raise the warm up temp then restart the truck

Use these "destructions" at your own risk. I take no liability or responsibility for you messing up your android device in any way/shape/form, and I suggest you use a device you don't care about as you will likely mess up if you don't follow directions properly and need to factory reset the device and try again. (factory reset wipes all user data, apps, and settings)

 

This is great man!  Rooted my old tablet and set this up.  Really useful.  I was always afraid I'd leave my tab running in my car at night.  Now I can use a switched power source. :)

 

Edit:

One thing that's nice to add is to delay so if you turn your engine off for fast food or whatever, you have a bit to order without the reboot.  Of course this can be any time length.

 

Lastly, this can open your iquad app too, all in one.  Here's my final flow.  Just remember to connect shutdown back to the top. ?

Nicely done!

 

Did you get the automatic bootup going too?

Thanks man. Yep thanks for the info on that.  Just had to edit the lpm file.

Well, we should be getting a replacement for the screen that broke here today. We need to move the USB-C connector to the back instead of the bottom. (We are putting it near the mount for more stability). There are a few other things that need to be addressed but we will see how it looks today.

A stupid and crazy idea... @Quadzilla Power ...

 

I wonder if its possible to change over the Quadzilla communication to USB for a cellphone. That would be killer option too. Being my LG G5 cellphone already has Type C USB and just change up the app to communicate over the USB instead of the bluetooth. The killer part is the USB cable could supply power to the cellphone.

That would require running the USB-C cable through the firewall and adapt to the 4 pin Deutsch connector, wouldn't it? It'd be back to the PV2 screen style with updated hardware

Edited by trreed

put that on the list of things I wouldn't want to do lol

I don't care what kinda wiring it is as long as it's not using bluetooth/wireless to communicate with the adrenaline, and doesn't have something hanging off the OBDII or extra wires running around it doesn't need.

 

If you aren't using USB-C for communication to the adrenaline...why put on the back?

 

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if you aren't using USB-C for data, then I would assume you are using the port just to flash/update the monitor's firmware or loaded tunes correct? Cause I would think it a bit redundant for power since you can pull that from the adrenaline. So if we need it for updating but not need it to be plugged in all the time, would it not make more sense to have it on the side for easy access in case we have a pillar mount we don't want to remove it from constantly to flash update?
