I’m building a fully custom Infotainment UI

[RyanGphoto]

Hi. What you are doing is awesome.

Would it be possible to create custom driving modes with this interface, not constrained by the stock combinations of engine, traction, and exhaust (without the miltek valve)?

I would love to have the car is sport with the quiet exhaust at times, for example.

Thanks

Even WITH the Miltek it still performs as a "Stock" Sport car... it's not ANY quieter than it is without the Miltek. The only way to do that would be to CLOSE the valves, which is a terrible idea and will throw codes and even possibly destroy your car.

I too wish they would have allowed us to change (Lotus) all the settings by pushing some buttons... Like Tour mode with fully open valves (like the Miltek does, but from factory).. Or Track mode (I love the infotainment screen in that mode) but keep all the Sport options and safety measures.

Just a quick update guys.

Took the car for a 10 hour drive in the heat last week and everything was stable.

Just finalising a few things to make sure the expereince is a good as it can possibly be and I should be ready to share all the details for you in the next few weeks.

Thanks for your patience.

Another update,

Battling with some audio reliability issues. Wanna get it figured out before I finalise this.

Will keep you posted

I hope you make the audio functions easier to use to get to the radio stations, selection quirks and other fuctions that will be easier to get to quicker.

If we load this custom UI, then how do we get back if we prefer stock?

You unplug it from the USB port. Nothing is “loaded” on to the car.

This is cool. I am hoping to see a constant output of what the accelerometer is reading. Not just a red dot and the maximum reading that goes in basically .2 increments.

Hi again everyone,

Unfortunately this is not the update I wanted to give you.

After literally hundreds of hours of tweaking and getting things running as close to perfectly as possible, the launcher I was using for my UI has been pulled from the Play Store, which means the project can't move forward at this time.

If things change I will let you know, but I don't have the time to start over using a different launcher or develop my own at this stage.

Sorry! I was so excited to share this with you all.

That's extremely unfortunate. Do you know if the launcher can be downloaded or sourced elsewhere?

 

[Sentinel]

Yeah the APK is still available through other means but I'm not going to encourage piracy.

Argh, that's frustrating... I feel for you. As is often the case, Google giveth, and Google taketh away

Could you not contact the maker of the Launcher and determine if it is available legally via other means?

I fired off an email over a week ago. No response.

I was going to say its very simple to sideload, but I assumed the launcher was free, which would make sideloading relatively harmless.

Tough break, was looking forward to it

Thanks anyhow, it was a massive endeavour
