    This is the most productive thing I've ever watched on RUclips. I appreciate you. I put a motor from a 2002 Dodge Dakota in a 1951 Plymouth Cranbrook and desperately need gauges. I was so confused about how, but this makes sense. Thank you.

    This would also work on a cheap Chinese Android head unit from Amazon if u didn't need your gauges to be separate from your radio... No need for a phone or anything else other than the OBD2 device. Just install all those apps on the head unit and boom done.

      That is good info !! Im running a Tesla radio in my Escalade (video on this very channel ) and can confirm that would work. This solution is for those who have a classic car and didn't wanna plaster a modern radio on the dash or like my Nova, that has really poor radio placement as well.

    Nice setup! I used to use an old Samsung phone as a security camera inside my house and left it on the charger 24\7. After about a year the battery started to balloon though. I'd look into replacing the phone battery with a small sealed lead acid or similar less dangerous battery for longer\safer life.

    • @2muchspl
      @2muchspl  Месяц назад

      This is great advice, I too was worried about overcharging. I was kinda hoping the fact the system will stop charging (after timer expires) would buy me some time with battery life (not charge life). I will keep a hawks eye on this. I really appreciate this info and advice.

    This is pretty cool, I'd be interested in seeing about eliminating the phone and using a Raspberry Pi with Android installed. This would also eliminate the charging the battery as you would just power it from the car battery.

    • @2muchspl
      @2muchspl  Месяц назад +3

      A Pi4 was absolutely on the agenda when deciding what to do with this project (may still happen in the future,keep reading). When grappling this, I decided on the phone because most of us have an old one laying around and would be familiar how it worked,typing,etc... With a Pi, I would have to teach,step by step from out of the box setup. Might be a touch too much for beginners to learn. I did potentially solve a issue/concern I had with leaving a PI running full-time in a vehicle with another peripheral. I'm sure curiosity will get the best of me and you'll see one on the channel.🤣, thanks for watching!!!

    Wow this is absolutely great info definitely got a sub from me I do have a question when u eliminate the the 110 inverter and timer with the larger cell battery I got lost do you only use the dual usd charger with the yellow wire? I have everything in the cart from your link want to buy but don’t want any mistakes thanks any info would help

    • @2muchspl
      @2muchspl  Месяц назад +1

      That is correct, the yellow wire will still be needed to hook to a switched source to turn on the dual USB lighter. This is how the phone and display will turn on.
      The larger battery will only buy time before phone is depleted while driving & guages lost. I estimated I had about 1h40m of driving time on stock batt with no help from the external charger pushing charge directly to battery. The extended battery should get you North of 3+ hours.
      I do see a issue now that I'm typing this out to you. Without the external charger, (rem that it's a 110v and a 12v version of it), once your extended battery is depleted: how will it charge up? You will need 2 single USB lighters, one going to display,one going to phone and the timer still. The timer will hook to the phone USB lighter & allow the phone to begin recharging with key off (albeit slowly) and the other lighter will kill power to display with key off. All will be hooked to yellow wire still.
      Example of issue from above: you drive to Tennessee,3hr away. Phone is consuming more energy than it can be charged due to limitations and no simultaneous help from external charger. You arrive at Aunt JoAnn house & cut the car off,the phone will not charge. With 2 USB and timer, now when you cut car off phone will have a chance to build back up energy while you chill with auntie. Hope this makes sense.
      Of course you can just get the external 12v external charger and timer (sketchy shit) which would eliminate the invertor and solve issue same way I did.

    • @2muchspl
      @2muchspl  Месяц назад

      The 12v ignition wire is not something anyone should be tapping into unless you need constant power WHILE cranking. We used a proper 12v switched wire (accessory in this case) to turn things on/off. Regardless of wire used I don't understand your question...can you rephrase what you're asking? Someone else may be curious.

    Well,I'm sure I'm more'n likely not the first t ask;but, I'd really preciate any help you could give me on a full installation of the Nova screen... I actually owned my '72 Nova since high school; but, I was hurt in a work related forklift accident and now I'm totally disabled, so I'm not able to get in or out of it any longer!!! So, My best friend is like a brother to me and he wanted to buy it from me. Well, Bout 4 or 5 years ago I gave him my Nova under the stipulations that he could never sell the Nova and when he was done with it or God forbid if he was to pass away it would come back to me unless I pass before him then it's to go to son. I actually heavily modified it from it's factory beginnings;but, Now the Nova has taken on a whole new life from ladder bars to 4-linking, added a whole lot of more cage bars to get it certified for a faster class, added a fiberglass one piece frontend,a fiberglass rear deck lid,a pro street style rear spoiler, a rear fiberglass bumper, and cut as much excess weight that could be found out of it, and he has plans to put either fiberglass or carbon fiber doors on it also, new coilover shocks all around, two inch dropped front spindles, and a set of dual parachutes air operated out back...Well,I know that I've bored you with all of my rambling on; We had actually talked bout putting a Holley dash in the Nova; but, I believe you have jus given me a new option to possibly cure the money factor of using a Holley dash!!! Thanks so very much and God bless, Sincerely,
    Joe C.

Torque app's customization gives you the ability to create your own with your own layout, gauge type (circle style, numerical digit,half needle, you name it man) gauge info,size/placement, custom background image. For an older app, its truly a handful. Real Dash has much cooler gauges that mimic the hottest cars out for a price & expense of customization.

      I believe it will function just like mine, I'm a little concerned about the overall width and it stretching the images on the screen a bit. Great thing is that it powers off 12v/2amp (it's using a typical 110v ac/dc adapter to step things down). This will allow you to power it directly off the car if it can eat 13.8 which I'm sure it will. I get the phone(s) [yes try a few old ones] all setup and then order the monitor. Began testing the day it comes for it's behavior characteristics like auto power off,auto input select,etc. This way you can find any flaws and possibly return it before modifying your own dashboard. I bench tested for 3 weeks and before making this video.
