After all the exterior changes and upgrades it's time again to take on the inside of the car. The carPC touch-only interface is starting to annoy me a little, so time to create some buttons. An iDrive like solution would be nice, so thats what I'm going to build!

Check the progress of the project here on the super special iDrive project page!

For this project I'm using the 3Dconnexion Space Navigator, which will interact with Centrafuse 4 for an iDrive like experience. I've set some requirements for the solution I'm going to make, just to make it al little challenging ;)

1. The panel should be easily attached and deatched from the dash.
2. The panel should be tough.
3. It should look good (of course)
4. The Space Navigator is left in 1 piece for re-use should this not work.

So with that taken care of, time for a design. This is the simple photoshop drawing of what I have in mind:
