Would you be willing to help me by proving a bit more info on the parts and coding process? Also where you got things like the CIC folding screen.

I'm not particularly good with vehicle electronics however I'm very mechanically minded. I learned from YouTube and research how to repair a N20 engine with a broken timing chain after mind broke in February last year. Is this the type of job you need to be a professional electrical engineer or similar to complete?

Attached a few photos from the engine rebuild for your interest and a nice snow shot from a few winters back.

Thanks
Nathan
Hi Nathan,

I've just replied to your PM.

In short I'll be producing a How-To video on everything to do with the retrofit, including all of the parts that are required.

One quick question, do you currently have Bluetooth for calls?
Happy to help you out, but this is a scary big retrofit, but the good news is that you really don't need to have any special electrical skills as it's just plugging stuff together
