This is my understanding as well. So realistically I would expect $1500 at a minimum with an inexpensive double din unit and we’ll see what’s available for a dash kit.

Why is that insane? Both take control of the the factory HVAC system. This system is a lot more elegant and looks more like an OEM product but what am I missing?

No offense taken at all. Totally get it. I'm in the process of building & selling some one off electronics. It's tough to scale (I'm printing off a single 3d printer at my desk LOL). I imagine the real issue has got to be the custom board work you need. I'm not out, just contemplating. You...

At $1100, I’m on the fence leaning toward no. I’ve already got a Teyes unit that controls climate, albeit not well. Tough sell for me to spend twice as much on my AC controls as I did on the Teyes unit. At one point you had thrown out the idea of a “less polished” option. I could probably...

Awesome! Been refreshing like a madman. Glad you are back on track.

If I remember correctly from doing my Teyes install, power routes through the factory tape deck. In fact I think the volume knob works maybe as a mute control. So yeah there definitely is some bypassing that needs to happen.

Truly outstanding work so far. Amazed to see what you’ve accomplished. A few suggestions on layout: as was mentioned earlier, the buttons underneath the screen are probably too small to be functional. Perhaps ditch the left side status lights, slide the rotary knobs left and right and then...

Wow! Is that level of quality in reach for this project?

I mentioned this in my previous post but I ended up buying one for a home project. Here is the dial I suggested (M5stack Dial V1.1). It's got a rotary encoder w/ a single click options, capacitive touchscreen and runs on 5-36v. Pretty straight forward panel mount. Looks like it could be...

So I think cost is gonna be a big factor here. When I think OEM quality I think thousands of dollars on par with purchasing the nav delete hardware. I’ve got a Teyes unit right now that’s inelegant for AC control but I’m not sure it’s $1000 inelegant. But if a better solution were in the range...

Wow! Seriously impressive work so far. For hardware, you might look at ESP32 based devices. They are cheap and readily available. The M5Stack Dial is pretty popular in the home automation space for thermostat controls. Has a dial and LCD integrated into a single unit, supports a wide range...

Use the GooglePlay store for the Button app. The climate control app the APK file is in this thread. Download it to a USB drive and open/install it using the file manager on the T’EYES unit.

I figured out a quick way to access the app! I downloaded a utility called Button Assistive Touch that allowed me to create my own quick launch button. It took a little fooling around but I got it to launch the climate control app instead of the terrible built in one.

Ha! You beat me to the answer on #1. I just missed it earlier. I’m going to do some digging on #2 because I primarily use CarPlay

I know this thread is a few months old but I installed today and had a question: Is there anyway to get this working as a replacement for the snowflake icon? Otherwise, this is awesome! A huge improvement over the factory app.
