MkIII now working! No fixes, touch
wood!
(2010-01-12)

I have just received third attempt
on dash pcb, and pcb's for LED backlight on my LCD panel!
I have made a drawing on how to
install dash pcb

(2009-12-02)


I am building a second BM to replace the
original one. It has a small problem that I will fix too, as soon as I get it
out of the car. I cannot get it out of AV2 mode....
So in the mean while no progress on sw.
I have BlueTooth problems and still some USB
problems. I hope to
get smooth operation with 'devcon'.

I can hardly believe it, but I am
done with the Bordmonitor! Its got the 480x800 LCD and the USB DVD. (Was that
all??!... 2,5 years??!!...)

Current status:
A.
- Bordmonitor will be replaced with new unit that has a dash pcb. Old BM
will be upgraded and probably sold.
B. Installation
- Remaining wiring. Radio diversity on connected at dash. (Same as motorized
antenna, only here it powers the diversity amp on)
- Install HQCT
C. Sw drivers are
installed and debugged
- Install CPCTuner
- Voice command?
D. All apps are installed and
configured
- Might be time for an upgrade
E. The applications
are wrapped, installed and skinned
- Install IBusComM and decode volume, mode, etc.
- Make a skin/FE
- Improve remote control in phone so that normal SMS tapping works as entering
text in field.
Minor problems:
- I do not see entire trip in GooPS.
- USB..
- Maybe a better TV with diversity

At this moment everything is 100%
clear :-)
