Your making a Carputer? It's been done, I think it was attempted before on this site as well.

 

What kind of program are you writing for it? its own OS?

this is the main screen of the program i have more pics but will post later its looks crappy right now working on functionality before looks first

 

are you going to be able to tune your truck with this?

 

heres the splash screen and the tuning of the truck im thinking about an ecu communication module alot of prgraming involved but it is doable

 

You could use it for that with the right programs. I don't know of any programs that allow you to tune the truck directly from a laptop though, only the SCT which you have to load to the tuner, then transfer the tune from the tuner to the truck. You could run a lot of virtual gauges though, which is what it looks like he's going to do.

 

Yeah it is a lot of work but it would be super cool! Keep it up!

 

sorry for the crappy pics guys

 

virtual gauges are in the works

 

Dunno why the pics aren't working:
