Big Mark Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I was thinking over the weekend - Rather than using a Toucan would there be any way of connecting a Syvecs to a touch screen Double Din stereo instead and have full functionality?

a98pmalcolm Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Theres a bluetooth module that you can get. That offers the same function as a toucan screen with an android or apple device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Does it work as good as a Toucan? So would it work harmoniously with this (link)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Could do a tablet install like the one that's in the ICE section and run a Bluetooth tablet connection to the Syvecs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 No. I'll be installing the stereo in the link, so want to know if that can be used. Zero interest in fitting a tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Which stereo is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Click the "link" in post #3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Can't see that working unless you can download apps to the stereo as you need the syvecs app to connect via Bluetooth and view/control the ecu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 No that headunit wont work as it only pairs for music and video via Bluetooth to your phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 There is an Android version available that was built to work with phones and tablets I do recall someone else tried to run it on an Android based head unit but not sure how successful that was.

Jellybean Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 What about using a Chromecast via HDMI on your head unit , bluetooth to your phone, cast to the head unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 What about using a Chromecast via HDMI on your head unit , bluetooth to your phone, cast to the head unit? Not tried that or the Apple equivalent myself, I am guessing its some form or screen mirroring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Not tried that or the Apple equivalent myself, I am guessing its some form or screen mirroring? Yep Mirror the app on the screen ; it is inexpensive compare to a Toucan , not too sure if the Syvecs integrates with other digital gauge apps , some very nice UX designed Gran Tursimo PS4 style apps out there, do all wonderful analysis with graphs and scatter, radar charts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 You lost me at "What about using a Chromecast via HDMI on your head unit , bluetooth to your phone, cast to the head unit?". I have zero interest in smart phones, apps and all the other crap associated with them. So if there's no simple way to use the screen on a stereo then I'll just get a toucan or the rotary calibration knob: Nice analogue twiddly knob and not a wanky app in site.

Al Massey Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 it is inexpensive compare to a Toucan , Except the cost of the Bluetooth module from syvecs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
