Syvecs Forums

As above, many other ECU's work with Real Dash, is it something that can happen?

Id like to see this too, it would be nice if it worked through the pc copnnection as i run an incar pc and running an actual dash off it would be ideal

I have already contacted Syvecs about Realdash but they don't seem to bother.
but
I have succeded to stream syvecs RPM data to Realdash through Seedstudio canbus.
It was 1-2 years ago and I didnt find time to complete it.

That’s interesting secure.

I actually had one of those CANbus interfaces on order yesterday but then was unsure again, mostly as i was unsure if the android usb serial interface would operate at 1mbit.

Is it a lot of work to add the other parameters?

Thinking of a team effort on this.

I’m also wondering if it’s possible to wire a Bluetooth obd reader to the ecu and access this way. Apparently this has been done to enable Haltech ecu to work with realdash and that ecu also uses a 1m bit custom can or be configured differently.

It would be awesome to have real dash working on android Headunit.

I can’t install syvecs official bt module as I’m
Out of I/o on my ecu (S6GP).

No OBD-II on Syvecs as far as I know.

I/O only needed for CAL switching - the telemetry data is via RS232.

Thanks Tim.

Ryan did previously confirm to me that I'm unable to install BT module, although indeed i don't need to be able to change cal via it, as of course i have the Toucan

I could possibly go Mini Expansion Unit + Syvecs Bluetooth Module + Official Android app but the cost is prohibitive for casual use.

Out of interest, not being experienced with fancy head units, do they accept an HDMI input these days?

The android ones typically not, so you are left with HDMI to composite converters and a somewhat fuzzy display.

There are some pioneer units with HDMI in, infact my old F960BT from 2014 had this, but the display resolution was low.

Most android HU are 1024x600 , the latest ones though are 720p IIRC.

My other project is Scal on an Intel compute stick, running into the android HU via composite for now.

I am not a coder. Just an arduino guy doing hobby level stuff.
It would be very easy for a software developer to do the rest of the work but I am not gonna publicate the code without auhorization of Syvecs because they may have their own policy on that. I wish they would work with Realdash so it would be alternative for us.


By the way I am running x86 based car computer.

CAN datastream is not a secret - the information is all there with the freely available SSuite.
