Thinking about this as a long-term evolution of OVMS. Put a 2.5" touch screen LCD on it and have it on the dashboard. As we're on the can bus, there is a wealth of information that could be displayed. The modem would allow remote control. The displays are not that expensive, but a nice housing is tricky.
This is a great idea but probably won't be available for a while - although I'm willing to help. I also don't think a 2.5" touch screen would fit in my line of sight while driving. In the mean time I'd like to work on a small 2 or 3 digit 7-seg display to mount near the top of the cluster. I'm not sure if it's better to implement this as an accessory to the OVMS or as a separate system.
