Attached are two photos that show the latest configuration for my digital dash. Using a ASUS 12.1 touch screen tablet, the digital dash fits snug into the dash area, and should not require any mounting or velcro. The regular dash air pressure gauges are still visible.
You can see the engine is running at fast idle. Transmission, fuel, mpg, and trip information is shown on the left. Speed and RPM in big letters at the top, with tempature information, boost and time shown in the center. Engine performance information is in grey shown on the bottom and changes every few seconds. To the right is Microsoft Street & Trips which is connected to an external antenna and is in real time. On the task bar at the very bottom is a tab to bring up the full screen of CoPilot which is also attached to another external antenna.
As you can guess, I'm having fun with this thing.
