And yes, it does.

Can you do tuning with that? Not that you would need to mess with the tune if the setup is already sorted.

lol! nice! I take it you can run tunerstudio on it?

Thanks! Yeah, it has full tunerstudio functionality (first pic is a TS dash, sorry for the glare) and megalogviewer as well. Also does music files, broadcast radio via SDR, typical computer stuff, and I almost have gps going (I should, but it hasn’t been high priority)

The touchscreen is good enough for most actions and I have a wireless mini keyboard to handle everything else.

And for the purists, I found a faux delco desktop:

Need a photo with the boost gauge at 20lbs!

Yeah, but can it plot your logs in real time with trend lines?

Kind of? The VEAL feature is pretty slick

I looked at doing something like this, but I wanted to keep it in the same space as the instrument cluster and couldn't find a solution that fit worth a damn, they were all too wide, or too tall.

Does your car still have a sound system? I'm interested in enough of a system to hear tunes on the road, but would like to to be lighter than the stock system.

4 speakers in stock locations. The Pi feeds a little 60w amp and has my whole collection on the sd card. Also has an SDR dongle to pull in radio stations (which was a royal pain to get to play friendly with the gui) Works ok, only I was getting a little noise from the power supply through the speakers, but a “ground loop isolator” makes it liveable until I can fix properly.

As far as weight, maybe a little better? The amp probably brings it close to a wash.

What hardware do you have in that, is it just a raspberry and touch screen?

I also have a DAC hat to send sound out to the amp and an SDR dongle to receive radio broadcasts.

For power I have a mausberry supply, but I can't recommend it. It started getting flaky after about a year or so and I had to bypass the automatic power cycling.
