Things that make you go HMMMMM....

[ekgguy]

I love my truck. I searched for a good year / year and a half before I bought this one. I have changed my mind several times on the direction I want to go with it and am probably not done changing it still.

However, I do not like the dash / instrument panel. I am a big guy, 6'-4" and when I am driving, it is very hard to see the gauges. With the recess that they have back into the panel, all I see is the needle, no numbers.

I love all things "techie". Smart phones, smart TV's, Bluetooth, all that stuff. I like the idea of a digital dash, run off a tablet or something similar. I am thinking something like changing the instrument panel for the glove box door (I think this has been done before, with actual gauges) and doing something like a recessed license plate type of thing that would a tablet would fit into and connect to the electronics of the truck.

Has anyone done this with the stock, non-LSx / OBDII port setup? Any ideas on how / what it would take to do this?
