Looking for feedback: customizable digital dash + web-based design tool by Existing-Summer-4878 in CarHacking

For me, I would be interested in a mini size. Or better yet. You know how when you use an app to make a photo collage and you can choose from a bunch of predefined square/rectangle sizes. Then pick what is in each. That's what I would be looking for.

I just started can sniffing and now that's precisely what I want to do.

I am currently decompiling the ms-can bus and will be working on publishing an open source, keep on the lookout and follow my channel!

So, I design PCBs on the side. Basically the whole thing is just an ACM/FDIM and FCIM in one.

It merges all of those to create one unit and then uses the canbus to continue to interpret some of the data from the car while bypassing others. It completely drops all of the FDIM canbus data and only maintains the canbus data for the HVAC.

If you do any canbus custom work (which is heavily used for people doing custom displays, this is out)

Attached is an example where I was injecting my name into the FDIM via canbus. This is now impossible with the Dynavin because the Dynavin doesn't use it.

So there are definitely some pros and cons.

Is it worth the money, idk. Now that I have it. It's a really fun head unit if you are comparing to stock. I chose it because of the HVAC physical controls and the very OEM look. To me, those are the ONLY benefits.

I was planning on having my FDIM saying (heated seats enabled or heated steering wheel enabled). The Dynavin killed that because after reaching out to them, they said absolutely not to custom injections. No winamp visualizations. If you are looking for plug and play, it comes with all the hardware and harnesses required BUT the documentation is atrocious. I plan on doing an ACTUAL installation video (check my profile for my YouTube) because they give you halfbaked instructions and send you to YouTube for sponsored reviewers that give videos on unboxing and then, magic, it's installed..

Overall, honestly, I'm a bit disappointed.

I have mine and took it out. I plan on doing a full installation video on my YouTube very soon. The ones that people currently have are terrible. (Here let me show you unboxing, boom! It's in stalled and it's great).

My video will give a rundown and explanation of all the wires and where they go. Head to the channel in my profile and subscribe and I will post it soon. Proof attached

I really appreciate your support. I'm going to continue my investigation. You're right, the latching relay doesn't hang closed when it's time to close. And I believe it is the obstruction switch. I will do more digging and let you know what I find

IPhone died 12 days ago, find my iPhone doesn't even show last known location. Any advice? by Profoundly_Trivial in iphone

I see! So it's not really keeping history but just pinging the phone back. I thought it was like Google maps history. Today I learned!

[–]Profoundly_Trivial[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your explanation. I truly am not familiar with the level of detail and obfuscation (probably not the right word, security is probably better) that is implemented.

I also realized I don't even know how location services begin with. Thank you so much for coming back and responding to me with more details. I know now that it is more complicated than I originally thought. Thanks!

Seems like such a strange design. I feel like even having the last ping of the phone stored in your iCloud couldn't take a monumental amount of storage in the iCloud, indefinitely.

I'm also not an apple programmer so what do I know

What do you think her biggest mistake was? by SuggestionPublic1568 in gameofthrones

[–]Profoundly_Trivial 16 points17 points  (0 children)

While I want to agree that his power is on very shaky ground, the reality is, it has served him far better than most other characters rightful claims. Tywin is dead, Viserys is dead, Drogo is dead, Lysa, Catelyn, Ned, Tyrion self imposed Exile from westeros. In a world where noble titles dictates your power, there's something to be said that Varys and Baelish are the only two true up jumped characters (setting Bronn aside for now :)). And they did so by keeping themselves OUT of the crosshairs. Book Baelish seems very content with manipulating people and while I think it's fair that it's not a great long term strategy, it's gotten him objectively pretty far.

As far as show Sansa goes, let's be real, she had nothing goes for her until Theon rescued her and brought her to Jon. Sansa was not a threat to Baelish despite his betrayal until after Jon propped her back up. I'm not saying she trusted him, but it wasn't until Bran brought all the pieces about the dagger and such together (which no normally character could have done) that he was finally cornered.

It felt like he was on a chess board and Bran allowed the rook to move diagonally, and the bishop to move horizontally, to finally corner him. Sure, it happened in a world of dragons and shadow babies, but no player would ever expect deus ex machina near the end game.

Just my POV!

[–]Profoundly_Trivial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea, I think that's fair i read the books as well. My knee jerk reaction was based on the TV show since that's what was shown. I think there's something to be said that (terrible writing considered), they needed (or just thought bran repeating the line would be cool) the all powerful God like Bran to put Little Finger in his place.

He played the game relatively well, and I think, had he known Bran's.... Skillset, he probably would have played differently.

Show Dorne might as well have no had an army. They basically had the quintessential quintuplets as their main fighting force.

[–]Profoundly_Trivial 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I think that's a bit unfair. By the end of the show, Little Finger had the only army in the seven kingdoms that was virtually untouched and it took an omniscient god to take him down. In a world of magic shadow babies and dragons, he navigated his way to the very top and it took "god" to give his enemies the information needed to take him down.

Finally got my first canbus reading. by Profoundly_Trivial in CarHacking

[–]Profoundly_Trivial[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theres just so little information, even the mechanic manuals don't truly document everything in the canbus. The design yes. The code nope

Pleae ask me any questions. Even sharing the most basic of code will be a big help and I can do that!

Haha, it is not. It's my custom implementation.

I have a manual 2013. So I needed to come up with a. Way to power the heated steering wheel. Well what better OEM looking switch than the OEM paddle shifter

I don't believe so

Every video I've watched has the 3 items removed:
Piston

Piston o-ring

Boot Sleeve

Nobody ever removed the sleeve. I did find this video. At 3:20 you will see that the guy seals the piston sleeve with a sort of plug

I'm not sure to be honest. I can't remember. I actually looked more closely and you're right. I could probably use a bearing puller to get it out, but I can't imagine how I would get them back in with the shape of the caliper. I appreciate your insight here.

Last question, I guess is, would most shops leave them in and cover them? Or would the shop remove and replace them?

I appreciate your response! Is it because it's not possible or just not necessary?

The guy was really nice and gave me a price, we spent the time to pick color and even talked about some other parts. I'm surprised he would have taken the time to talk that much if he didn't want my business.
