I finally realised that EVERY THING on my Trialmaster would be perfect if I junked all the electrical system, all ECU’s, screen and Software. Use aftermarket ECU, new screen completely customiseable as many repower of classic cars and bring back some mechanical gauges etc. I am fed up of tech in my cars …. Gernny is the newest and the tech and interference in my driving and its the last new car I will every buy !

Bring back carburettors, that's what I say. My fist car, a Mini, had 4 fuses and that was it. 🫠

I'm sure you could whip something up with a Raspberry Pi and some 3d printer time that would easily rival what's in place today.

Point me to your Kickstarter when you get it up.

There is a following with Arduino with people making their own ECUs and companies like an Australian company selling the Drop Bear Ecu and added with the aftermarket items like Turbo Lamik transmission ECU for the ZF 8HP transmissions there will be ways around the factory electronics and making the car more open sourced.

You could find something here you like….

Didn’t you hear that obsolete tractors were going to be hunted down and destroyed by their laser-wielding AI-enabled robot overlords?

Tear out the touch screen and all the controls and gimme a WWII Navy Morse code key. I’ll bang out commands directly to the throttle, transmission, brakes, diffs, HVAC, etc. as I drive. 🤔 🤣

I’m with you in spirit. No screen love here. Real gauges and some open protocols for modding … 🤗🤞🏻

As a senior responsible for the mental health of my fellow seniors I feel compelled to drag this one out again 😉
