has anyone attempted to take a monitor and use the Display from s300 as there MPH RPM and other sensors. i am wanting to do something like this would like any input on where to start. i was thinking of using a 7inch monitor and autometer gauges and taking out my stock cluster.

like this

just with using a touch monitor like this one.

I'm right there with ya. I have set up a few trial runs of actually what your talking about but, it's a pain to have to set up up ever time you start the car. I'd really like to see dual monitor support. or at least be able to use the display from hondata as an external window.

what all have you done with this? i was wondering on how i would build something that would house windows xp to run the program and an output so we can send it to the monitor.

how do you get it to play on a external screen, i have a 2 year old lap top that the screen cracked, and i can plug it to a desk top but can figure out how to get it to work on my in dash for s300

as of yet. there is no way to use in a separate window. less you use a clone monitor feature. course this is not what your asking for.

There are how ever ways to write some simple programs to use the data from smanager. Using some simple programs i can link data from smanager to my visual program on other monitor. Sadly however i can not share any of my such breakthroughs as this would break legal's with hondata. so plz don't ask. as i will not even reply to such requests. But if you have time and the ability to code. the world is at your finger tips.

Perhaps one day smanager will simply add a float window option...

I was planning on purchasing a 7" touch screen, then having my laptop default to it when connected. Load the program, open display and press F11. Should work well enough I think. Problem is finding a touchscreen with a good contrast ratio that doesn't break the bank.
