OOOHHH!!!!!

Any idea of price ???

Is it kph only??

Santa may have to come early.......

[chunkster]

that looks nice, dont know about the blue might have to change all the the button led's to match

[cyb]

like it Paul -much better than the normal dials and...

mmmmmm how do they stop the pens from rolling off the dash whilst cornering?

[AJA]

WOW. And it's defo not a photoshop then???????????

[Graeme]

I Want One :) :) :) :) :) :)

[SignumPhil]

Not sure I'd bother. I've driven a couple of cars with digital dashes and they drive you nuts. The speedo gets to 69mph, so you try to get to 70, and it goes to 71.
It's really annoying after while!

I suppose its a love/hate type thing.

I used to love my old Astra GTE with digital display. I found the MPH quite steady on mine, didn't keep flicking up and down by the odd mph.

If you revved it a bit much, the rev display went red at the end and the whole thing flashed, warning you of an impending engine pop!

[Graeme]

that looks like an audi digi dash or vw could be a photoshop?

[leeds vectra]

There is a company in Germany doing them, i'll find their site.

[leeds vectra]

Here (http://www.eye-vision.de/index.php?page=info) you go.

Paul.

[Graeme]

Amaturenbrettaussehen scheißen heiß, wenn wir alle deutschen itçll lernen, ein gemeinsam mod zu sein, jetzt wie viel es macht, hat gekostet! http://www.websmileys.com/sm/fingers/fing02.gif

[bruceybonus]

smart arsch :D

[AJA]

I can sense a license to print money for someone if they import them and sell them on at a profit.

[big phil]

being german .... would they all be in kilometers ????

[AJA]

But as they're digi displays, how easy would they be to change? The company may even produce them at the right price. I can feel a group buy coming on.

[big phil]

Ooooooooooooooohh Yes !!!!!

[AJA]

We just need someone who can communicate with them in German. Anyone?

I lived there for three years whilst I was in the RAF, but can only order Beer and food etc.

[big phil]

SPREKANSIE DEUTSCH !!!! :confused: CAN SPEAK AS GOOD AS I CAN SPELL !!! THATS A NO THEN !! LOL

[Bainie]

I reckon they must be linked to the ecu, which in turn is linked to the computer which you can change from Kilometers to Miles so it may be as simple as that, I would think that they would be dual display as it would be easy to do and an added bonus, I can`t see a price on there site but it would be good to know a ballpark figure ....

What is a digital Tacho?

The old combination instrument (firm Tachoansicht) replaced by our GXK11 - a full-graphic application of speedometers, which permits an individualizing of its vehicle and the use of further technical features to the customer by singular degrees of freedom in the representation and application variety.

Predivide GXK11:





Individual organization of the own vehicle possible (instrument and/or Design selection)
Improves information collection by centralization and situation-caused announcement of the most important data for the driver
Broader application scope, e.g. integration of Multimediaanwendungen
Real time announcement for immediate information for the driver
Good readability of the instruments (also with direct sun exposure or darkness)
Less diverson of the driver by the announcement of the information in the field of vision
Later integration of new functionalities problem-free possible
Already realized functions:

Illustration of the functions of the past combination instrument
Selection between different Designs
Navigation
Back driving camera
DVD

Technical data

The GXK11 is offered in different variants, in order to be individually co-ordinated with customer needs:

Variant A Spare announcement for conventional combination instrument Standard product with the full-graphic announcement on a TFT screen and a selection of different Designs from a Design pool planned supply starting from 01.09.2005

Variant B GXK11 with integrated navigation planned supply starting from 01.09.2005

Variant C GXK11 as Multimedia and Officecomputer in the passenger car with navigation Auxiliary functions to variant B: E-Mail receipt and answer also pre-defined texts; Time schedule he and calendar integration; Synchronisation with Outlook address data planned supply starting from 2006 Optionally to the variants can be integrated still tail camera, InterNet and DVD Player.

[AJA]

I really want of these now. I can feel a drive to Germany coming on.

[Bainie]

Next meet, Dusseldorf ....

[leeds vectra]

:D :D :D :D

Prices should be available soon by the look of the dates for lauch. Here (http://www.motor-talk.de/t662010/f237/s/thread.html) is the forum which it is been discussed on in Germany if anyone can translate it. Very interested myself.

Paul.

[AJA]

Me too. :D :D :D

[Drinky]

I really want of these now. I can feel a drive to Germany coming on.

maybe a trip to the ring as well ????????
as our next meet :D :D :D :D

[big phil]

I'm very very very interested guys , :) put me down as defo !!!!!!

[AJA]

maybe a trip to the ring as well ????????
as our next meet :D :D :D :D

Now, there's an idea. How much is it to have a blast?

[big phil]

15 euros i think clarkson quoted when he took the jag around !!

[AJA]

The company that do these are right by the Czech border. Where is the ring?

[AJA]

I've just checked and it's not too far. Nuremburg to Chemnitz is 150 miles. Sounds like a plan. All we need is someone to comunicate with these guys

[Jamie]

The Nurburgring is at Nurburg near the Belgian and French borders, not Nuremburg, Its about 300 miles to Chemnitz.

[big phil]

they speak english there anyway so don't worry !!or be it not very well !! :D they do english compulsary at school

[AJA]

The Nurburgring is at Nurburg near the Belgian and French borders, not Nuremburg, Its about 300 miles to Chemnitz.

OK then -

a. Get the Eurotunnel
b. Straight to Chemnitz for new dash
c. Stay over night at Chemnitz
d. In morning drive back to Nurburg for a blast
e. Another night (free beer for fastest lap) at Nurburg
f. Eurotunnel back in morning

Job done. Two birds, one stone and all that. Nuff said, yer get me!

[gtr]

Here i have more info about the Nürburgring
For the people with gps ,this are the coördinate : N50 20.063 E6 56.844

Maybe you can also visit the Opelfactory in Russelsheim D.

[Bainie]

the instrument GXK11 becomes
- in the basis version (switch between 3 different design of characteristic choice)-> 1.600,-€ + Installation
- in the expanded version (basis version + integrated cards navigation) -> 2.800,-€
Cost. That over and incorporated last . adaptations ca. 1- 2 days.
The display as well as the electronics become for the notices . the navigation as well as that
GPS-Mouse incorporated. Realization for Vectra C is from autumns 2005 fundamentally doable (in dependence
Of the amount of the applicants and the resulted certification through TÜV and/or DEKRA).


Looks a little expensive then !!!

[AJA]

1600 euros is just over a grand. Hopefully we'd get a descent discount for a group buy. If we got Total Vauxhall in on the idea and they followed us on our trip, it would be some serious advertising for them and us.

[Bainie]

I reckon you might be able to swing free fitting, still seems a lot of cash for an Atari in your dash... Does look cool though, you can choose different skins for it !! Certainly out of my budget i`m afraid, would love to see one in the flesh, reading through the site they are still having a few problems with it, canbus and all, throwing up errors and not compatible with AFL yet ?

[The Doc]

So where did we get to with this then?

[Mrs D]

Funnily enough we were talking about this last night at home - not just the funky dials but the 'ring trip too!!

Need to try it out in real life - we have been thrashing round the 'ring on GT4 on the PS2 so already got plenty of practise in!!!!

[vectra 2.0 t]

still waiting for the dates to come on the site.infact ill go and have another look now

[plasma]

bump

[The Doc]

Looking too expensive for me I think but still a possible.

Just my daily driver.... Just my daily driver.......... ;)

[Maverick]

Did anyone get anywhere with this?
