Which CAN converter did you use? Got my system rigged up as well and was hoping to tap into the can bus as well. Im using open auto pro on mine with a base of rasbian. works flawlessly now

Ah so its actually internal to the trans. Ill need to look into doing this safely as i have never researched how to disassemble the trans yet. I was told a while back that the 'valve body' was bad by the dealer when i had 5th not shift into gear so i wonder if this is it

I will definitely poke the tuner again to see if he can pop the code for me. Ive had the 2-3 bang shift since ive owned the car and has never gotten worse. starting to get a 4-5 though when cold. Thanks!

So im having some issues with my 5eat on my 08. Im wondering if its a speed sensor issue but i have no idea as my speedo does work normal without issues. When using the manual shif from 5th down to 4th it does not rev match like with other gears, it also does not lock up the converter in 5th gear for highway cruising. My tuner saw a code for a speed sensor but i didnt ask about it and i donot have access to a scanner that would read these sort of codes currently. any insight on what to check would be great

Get the control arm mounts checked. They should be ok as the control arms are made to bend before the mounts but its always good to check. strut towers should be fine as the struts do twist and bend normally. You can also reassemble and see if there is a large amount of positive camber.

Nice, I was thinking about doing something similar at some point. Figured I would start with a nexus 7 and get that's setup with all the car related additions and then build the next version similar to what you've started with "on the bench".

 

So your phone will be used for internet connectivity, GPS, phone etc I assume? Which will need to be plugged in via USB correct?

 

 

 

actually through bluetooth or wifi. im having some issues atm where the touch screen isnt working but im working through that

looks similar to what im doing! im actually using a raspberry pi 3 with android installed for mine
