GPS
& PowerControl MkIII
This is
what you get:

120x75x43 mm.
1) A GPS with dead reckoning
The connection to IBus will reduce wiring to a minimum, but you will be able to
use it in other cars. Just draw the extra wires. The DR feature will give you
more stable and accurate position (5m), even close to high buildings or in tunnels.
2) IBus interface
To be used as a car2PC interface in your BMW. This will make it possible to
use your steering wheel buttons for volume control etc.
3) Power Control
This is what I mean with that:
 |
The LCD panel is turned on
after startup is complete without embarrassing start up screens. Timing is
configurable with windows application and stored persistently. |
 |
Control of rear view camera,
again with IBus without extra wires. You can also turn on the camera with
side-view mirror selector. If you don't have IBus there is a camera-on
input. |
 |
When you unlock your car with
remote key, system will start to boot to save boot time. Without IBus this
require a wire to your central lock. |
 |
Indication of PC state.
Booting/running/shutting down. With IBus on LED's already in your
Bordmonitor. Without IBus you can install you own LED's. |
 |
When driving the car, the PC
is always on. (unless you press on-off button for 2s. Then PC is shutdown regardless)
A press of a button will give instant visual. With IBus you
will off cause choose the power on button on your Bordmonitor. When you
enter the car it will remember if it was on or off when you left it. |
 |
Configurable timeout if you
run the PC with ignition off. |
 |
Remote control of Poweramp. No
more bumps in your speakers. |
You will get source code so that
you can modify the code if you want. You just need a dev kit at 69$ from Silabs.
