I was completely unaware that this was a thing, but I live near Greenwich CT so will have to check it out next time they're at the Concours

Impressive engineering here! Keep up the good work and eventually you'll get it all working!

Thanks for the honest feedback. Maybe I'm a bit biased after spending a good number of late nights trying to figure this out 🤪

My LC came with an old, non working Motorola car phone. The LCD was shot, but after some tinkering it looked like the PCB was in quasi-functional condition. I couldn't fully reverse engineer it, so I re-wired it and hooked it up to a raspberry pi that then connects to my phone by Bluetooth. With...

Following up here. It's been about a week and so far no more blown fuses. The problem seems to have resolved itself. Likely because some positional short on the dash wiring ended up in a good place when I was fiddling around with things. But I'll credit good karma for posting on ih8mud. Fingers...

Thanks. Yeah I don't think it's the radio itself since it was staying on with the fuse gone and the fuse was blowing with the radio disconnected. Plus looking at the EWD confirmed that there weren't paths through the radio. My suspicion is that there is a stripped/bare wire or otherwise exposed...

I'm not 100% sure. The temps have been mild here so I didn't have the climate running. I did have the windows down once and they stopped working after the fuse went and started right back up with a new fuse. But since I made this post I haven't blown a fuse yet so can't confirm.

I just bought an 80 series. After replacing the radio with an LCD, I've been blowing the gauge fuse intermittently. What's frustrating is that it comes and goes. Sometimes I'll go through several fuses in a row, then it will go away for a little while and I think I'm good. But inevitably it...

Hey team LC! I just joined the crew and picked up my first 80 series. I'm hoping to learn/do a fair bit of wrenching myself, but it would be helpful to have a go to place for when I get in over my head. Can anyone recommend a shop in Westchester or Fairfield county? Thanks!
