Hey folks,
I am starting new project today. The aim is to have additional screen under main mcu. It shall extend my Tesla with functions like: 3D bird view 360 parking camera system, radar warnings during driving, play store apps etc. My main interest was to have bird view like camera system so I have done some research whats available on the market. It turns out I could use HDMI interface + 3d bird view package from one of the forum members but that would cost 770usd plus taxes plus I would need additional device for other functions. Instead I found I can spend around 300 usd and have it all but the problem would be its gonna be on external screen. There is almost no space in model S where I could install additional screen and the only viable option would be under center console. Obviously that will have to be mounted somehow and look good. So the project started. I will build screen holder that will look like an extension of the main screen. It will have to be slightly more rotated like in the attached pictures. Also I want it to be non invasive so I can remove it any time.
Done so far:
- order android device
- create design from cardboard
- project cardboard onto steel sheets and cut them
Tbd:
- weld steel sheets together to form a frame for the screen
- apply carbon foil onto the frame
- install 4 cameras
- install screen
Any opinions are welcome.
