Post by SATADrive420 »

Had an extra cluster and an old iPhone 5 laying around, so I made this.

The lens is still there, I just stuffed the iPhone behind there to see how it would look. All the circuit boards were removed so I could stuff it back there.

I see, if your iphone is bluetooth compatible, you can connect a bluetooth mouse and all is good

Yeah, don't think I'd be putting this in my bonne though, there would be an issue regarding the odometer. I could use some electrical magic to make the iPhone interface with the electronics in the cluster. If I knew how to code I could make an iPhone app to display that car diagram and retain all functionality. Problem is, I am not a fan of programming.
