Welcome to the IHoP v.2

[///M5 2,833]

So for someone who is more up to speed than I on these things, ie pays attention. I assume the PAC SWI-CAN interface will allow me with some other mechanism translate the CAN bus volume control for the Cayenne into some format that a CarPC can understand?

I see a wired infrared output and surely assume someone has a driver for something like that, but thought maybe there was a stellar integration.

This would allow me to fix the one pet peeve I had with the Cayenne when I drove it. The 1990's sort of Navi screen and interface. Plus modern Google Maps, Bluetooth, and my whole music collection could be had on a cheap Windows 8 machine.

And as long as the bus to the factory amps is not digital could even mimic any processing to get by using them and the stock drivers.

Psyched. Get the new front end for the IQR later on this week. Basically updating it to 2013 specs which will greatly improve it's trail manners.

Go from:

to this:

which gives me more screen than this:

[///M5 2,833]

Yes, the vents and shit won't be as nice, but it'd be cheap and give me a kickass interface that won't age over time.

[///M5 2,833]

Windows 8 is a perfect interface for the car IMO. Had I known the dumbo metro stuff would be so sweet I wouldn't have bought an Android for the boat, but just built a car PC. Not having a mouse is huge.

[///M5 2,833]

NEED the steering wheel controls though without other buttons

[///M5 2,833]

Just made an offer on one. Had the right options, couldn't say no.

I would die laughing if you ended up with that.

Lol that doesn't look like your style.

[Godsmack 361]

Could be fun to make that change.

I would never have guessed the ML is faster in a drag race.

Can't be faster in the corners though can it?

As part of my rear brake upgrade I want to flush the brake fluid on my Jeep, it has abs and i don't have acces to a scan tool. Do i flush it and bleed it normally and not worry about the fluid left in the abs passages? I don't care for the small amount of old fluid left in the abs pump.

I know that if i need to bleed the brakes after working on them i can get away without cycling the abs pump.

Easier for you to get into?

[dem beats 1,223]

That's the truth. Way easier to climb in and out of.

I went out for a middle of the night sammich run and the woke my wife up to have a meatball sub at 3:30 am.

:-D

Damn you must have been hungry.

Of course not, but the BM'er wins there.

Where, how, and why do you get a meatball sub at 3:30 in the morning?

Takes a hooker to the supermarket?

Well after reading a bunch I'll just gravity bleed once everything is in place. Going to change the hoses too, 16 year old hoses and fluid...

Pipe flaring tool ordered. Brake hoses for the Golf calipers are next on the list and hopefully no other "major" buy comes up.
