Digital instrument cluster

[emmantik]

Was wondering if anyone has swapped their instrument cluster for something more modern. Just got to thinking when I came across this;

Carobotor R Pro

Damn thats cool. I'd probably wreck after watching the new cool Blinky gauges instead of the road.

That massive discount seems fishy. Otherwise it looks cool. There's another brand in the works for Runners.

Edit: That's the same one I see in the FB groups that was posted in July to be released August. How is it discounted already?

Carobotor OS which based on Linux is stable and no boot time

Interesting, I wonder how customizable/hackable this is.

Probably trying to get a few people to buy and start reviewing.

Probably has something to do with the fact that the consumer is basically the beta tester, and once you install it you can't return it. Just glanced at the forums on their site and there seem to be plenty of problems.

Lol wut?

No thanks. I like the simplicity of my ‘18 SR5. I think digital dashboards are neat in such vehicles like Audi and Mercedes, but off roading with my windows down, it’s hard enough to see the center screen on my T4R when it’s covered in dust from the trail when the sun hits it.

i'm with you K.I.S.S.

Hah I didn't even notice that part. Would be interested to know how many units they've actually sold...and if any of them worked

I'm sure they just appropriated the language from someone else's (Alpine maybe?) TOS.

I just looked on the web site the dash is out of stock who here got one?

 

[Doughboy]

No thanks!

 

[214RUNNER]

Who else is making a dash? I searched but did not find any others making one.

Same brand. I thought it was someone else.

Would love this after it's not in "beta testing" phase, same reason I never pulled the trigger on the buggy linux based Chinese head units

 

[jcrown7]

It LOOKS great, but the spelling/grammar on the site makes me question the actual product.

So on the other forum, there is member who did the swap. From what I read the only issue was the mileage swapping over and units are in KM's not MI's but in the process of getting corrected. Here's a pic from the post and link to the thread;

Looks a little blurry but could be the pic. Otherwise it looks pretty good.
