Great build! Question for you if you know: how resistant to heat are these components? I live in Texas, and inside the car. It can get very very very hot. :-)
Thanks much. We printed this with PLA, which isn’t the greatest for hot sun but this was more of a prototype. We’ll print the next one with a cut out already in ABS filament. ABS filament is way better for parts that will be in the sun. ABS is good up to like 180F degrees 👍
Thank you! Do you happen to know if the electronics are also heat resistant? Worried mainly about the screen, but that may be based on older screens.@@Itsallaboutthebuild
@@ssskids123 looks like most of the newer screens are the same make as what car radio vendors use. In that case they should hold up to the same spec car radio touch screens can withstand 👍
Nice, our e30 had tons of rust which looked like it worked its way from the inside from the sun roof. The passenger floor was really bad and the passenger trunk section had to be cut completely out. This build is getting a little crazy, but there’s no going back now 😁
@@archipeep the 3D file was already made. We originally added a large hole in cura, but the tree support would have added a few more hours. We’re working on fine tuning that 3D file for sure 🙌

The infill was set very low to reduce print time. When cutting the hole out it fell apart. This was just a prototype. I'm working with the 3d file to make the opening durning the 3d print. The original 3d file is completely solid. All things are a work in progress 👍
So how are you handling fuel indication etc ?? Also stuff like idiot lights (turn signals etc). Boot time ?? Have an E30 build and would consider it.. But feels a bit half done.
@@SeftonHanley yes, definitely half done. We’re in the process of replacing the DME with a Speeduino standalone ECU.

@@Itsallaboutthebuild Thats fair. In Europe, it doesnt matter about the engine, only the VIN, and the mileage attached to the VIN cannot be tampered with in any way or it will be considered 'clocked' and if its not displayed at all, it will not pass its annual Ministry Of Transport certification to make it road legal, and if you cant get certification, you cant get insurance or road tax the vehicle, all of which are digitally interlinked on the government database, and over here they use a system on all police vehicles and road cameras called ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) which scans every single license plate it sees and automatically red flags any of the above which is not in place and the nearest law enforcement vehicle is notified and dispatched to hunt you down, lol.

I want this on my 06 Arctic Cat Side by Side. However I have no OBD port. Any recommendations on wiring this in? Also any recommendations on what all I need raspberry pi wise?
We have pre-obd ECU so we are going with standalone speeduino ECU. That ECU can then be hooked up to raspberry pi for display output. If you want to keep your stock ECU, you may have to look at other board such as audruino as it will have analog-to-digital converters. That will be needed to take existing analog signal and convert to digital in order to display. It gets a bit complex which is why we plan to change our ECU. Plus a different ecu will allow us to do more tuning for things like turbo in future 👍
Standalone ECU yes. We are using Speediuno. But if you have OBD2, you can load different software on the Raspberry Pi like openautopro or real dash. We wrote an article on the options 👉 www.allaboutthebuild.com/blog/2024/1/40-year-old-bmw-gets-a-digital-dash
@@e36mjay ah, ok. I was trying to figure out how to get signals from older than OBDII and it would take having to use something like an Audriuno as it has analog inputs along with figuring out the right voltages to convert that into a proper output display. So we decided to find something premade along with full custom EFi mgmt. instead 👍
@@Itsallaboutthebuild Dang that’s smart, it can be possible with the Obd1 if you use the same concept as a scan tool A mechanic here scanned my car the first time and it showed me almost ever value done to the maf voltage so I’m guess something like that can be possible in the future Good work all the way🤙🏽
If you have OBDII check out openautopro loaded on the raspberry pi instead. Then you can go OBDII via Bluetooth to raspberry pi with a Bluetooth dongle 👍
@@octaviofranciscosalcidoroc9226 great question. Research using a audrunio and sensors to read different stuff like oil pressure, engine temp. Etc… An audriuno can read analog signals and convert it into dc which can be sent to Radpberry pi. Other folks may have some stuff out there you could use 👍

@@Itsallaboutthebuild I'm not a purist and am happy to see people try different things, even if I sometimes don't agree. From what I've read about the K swaps they work out to be quite expensive. If I was to do it again I'd look at a volvo 5 cylinder or vw vr6 if a bmw 6 cylinder was difficult/expensive to get... or the 4 cylinder newer bmw turbo engine.
Was the original dash not working? The caps on the pcb that run the service lights leaks and break the speedo. I got pulled a few times in my e30 as the speedo would work when it felt like it.
@@Itsallaboutthebuild check the battery thats soldered to the PCB behind the service lights, what happens is that with age it leaks and burns the circuit traces. You may need to repair it with some jumper wires, this was beyond my skills when I was 18 and had one of these. I reckon I would have gotten it working these days.
@Itsallaboutthebuild th-cam.com/video/X7JOLBSakIk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rjZdjGGY1UncLeAn Yes it was an app. Some still have it running but as android updates it has connectivity issues and now it's almost abandoned
@@mlr06121974 Oh I see. Yeah TSDash should be able to do the same thing Shadown dash was doing. You'll just have to package up a few more things yourself :)
@Itsallaboutthebuild I'm betting they wanted to get out of the so called app store and have an actual program running it. Which I don't blame them one bit.
does it work for an old car with obd1 I mean can I use digital inputs of raspberry as I want?. I got an old car that all signals of the dashboard are analog and 12v bulbs I know i can lower 12v to 5v to be connected to raspberry pi imputs but I wonder if I can use Tuner Studio TSDash to do that ?
I believe you can get PiCAN interface for raspberry pi to work along with canbus, not sure if TSdash has that support. Would need to do some more digging 🤔🤔🤔
@@Itsallaboutthebuild Its a little on he frustrating side, because everything works on Canbus these days... One particular problem is the fuel level signal, because Pi has no Analog IO, they seems to have omitted it, but its possible to use a Pi Nano to convert he analogue signal to activate 6 or 7 digital pins on the main raspberry pi to emulate an analogue signal...
@@Mike-ry4ti yeah, not a one solution fits all for sure. You could use an audrunio connected to the pi if you need analog inputs. Unfortunately all the premade 3rd party is thousands of dollars. We need something more affordable 👍
The screen and Raspberry Pi will work in pretty much anything. You just need to see if someone has a nice interface that can go from a 3rd party ECU to the raspberry pi. If not you'll have to get a different ECU like we did. We went with speeduino ECU which can interface into the raspberry pi. What type of ECU do you have???
Our 1984 e30 doesn’t have obd2 so we are going with a Speeduino standalone ECU, BUT if you have OBD2, you can use openautopro software instead of TSdash loaded on the Raspberry PI and use a Bluetooth obd2 scanner to connect to the Raspberry pi 👍
Couple of different options. Go with Megasquirt ECU, Speeduino, or micrus standalone ECU. If you have OBDII, then you can keep raspberry pi and go with something like openautopro instead of TSdash 👍
@@Itsallaboutthebuild I'd just use a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter, and an app like Torque / Car Scanner / BimmerLink.etc.etc for iOS or Android. Of course what you can see depends on the specific ECU. But I'd have some sort of tablet / phone / Rasperry Pi with a screen... literally anything rather than cannibalising the classic instrument cluster. This is a cool project by the way, I just hate how all new cars now use digital panels all in the name of cost savings.

@@nickiminajwannabe oh ok. I see what you’re saying. Instead of TSdash we could just use realdash as the dashboard software layer. Perhaps another video comparing the different options 🤔🤔🤔
It's the empty space that kind of ruins it. Maybe a few of those round LCD displays would fill in the sides, assuming that the Pi can handle that many displays.
That's not the point of the video, the point is that you can make a completely custom one suited to your needs, you can add even more measures that could be useful for your need. You can do whatever you want.
I fully understand that but as an E31 and E38 owner, it really hurts my eyes. On a track car, it is necessary to have as much information immediately available as possible but on an everyday car... Anyway, I understand that some people want this and it's great that you can do it.

Much appreciated, so for non OBDII or just carb with some sensors you’ll need to add something like an audriuno that has analog to digital conversion. It gets a little more complex which is why we are going to go with speedunio standalone ECU connected to the Raspberry pi. Best of luck 👍👍👍
Great build! Question for you if you know: how resistant to heat are these components? I live in Texas, and inside the car. It can get very very very hot. :-)
Thanks much. We printed this with PLA, which isn’t the greatest for hot sun but this was more of a prototype. We’ll print the next one with a cut out already in ABS filament. ABS filament is way better for parts that will be in the sun. ABS is good up to like 180F degrees 👍

I want this on my 06 Arctic Cat Side by Side. However I have no OBD port. Any recommendations on wiring this in? Also any recommendations on what all I need raspberry pi wise?
We have pre-obd ECU so we are going with standalone speeduino ECU. That ECU can then be hooked up to raspberry pi for display output. If you want to keep your stock ECU, you may have to look at other board such as audruino as it will have analog-to-digital converters. That will be needed to take existing analog signal and convert to digital in order to display. It gets a bit complex which is why we plan to change our ECU. Plus a different ecu will allow us to do more tuning for things like turbo in future 👍
Do you have to use a stand-alone with this setup?
Standalone ECU yes. We are using Speediuno. But if you have OBD2, you can load different software on the Raspberry Pi like openautopro or real dash. We wrote an article on the options 👉 www.allaboutthebuild.com/blog/2024/1/40-year-old-bmw-gets-a-digital-dash
