Description
3pmdev is a fully functional "Plug-N-Play" vehicle PC that
attaches to the Powertrain CAN-bus and connects to the
original equipment Navigation System "Volkswagen MFD" or "Audi Navi Plus".
The system can display over 40 Diagnostic values from the
Engine Control Unit (e.g.: Engine Power, Torque, and Various
temperatures), in both text and graphic form, in real-time,
and on the Original Navigaton Display! Furthermore, it contains
a convenient Media-Player and a Photo Album.
Operaton of the system is accomplished entirely over the
original Navigation system buttons. The display has the same
look and feel as the original Navigation System so that the
user is immediately comfortable with it's method of operation.
Idea
Originally, we wanted to investigate how the Navigation
systems operated. We collected alot of information in a very
short time, and we constantly had new ideas, which still may
be implemented.
At first, we were interested in alteration of the Navigation
system boot image, and the vocal output. These concepts are
further discussed at the project website.
(Navi Projekt).
Once our knowledge and capability with the Navigation system
reached a sufficient level, we began searching for ways to
have more CD's than the CD changer allows :-) So then came the 3pmdev.
