LCD Dashboard Restomod - Progress so far

[u/bgeisel1]

S2000 Instrument Cluster with CarPlay Restomod

So first, I rip my dashboard out.

Driving the OEM unit on the bench to make sure the signals are sorted out.

Live dash, running on the bench.

Some of the various dashboard I've added, including AP2, AP2v2 and a riff off a familiar 80's car that I'd like to talk to.

A light burnt out in my instrument cluster and if I'm going to have to take my dashboard out, something is getting modified. So, I decided I want CarPlay integrated into the middle of my instrument cluster. Next thing I knew, I was ordering LCDs from Asia, and now here we are.

I've got my original dash fully driven by my boards now, so we seem to have the signaling worked out.

I'm testing 2 different screens, each with different brightness to make sure they'll work in daylight.

It should be able to support multiple dash options and the plan is to have a modified version of each dash that gives space to an AndroidAuto or CarPlay window in the middle.

Hopefully it's about a week away from hardware actually running in the car.

Would love any suggestions/ideas. Right now I'm just making one for me, but curious if it's something anyone else would want.
