I has been a long time, I have not posted much but today is big milestone as I have the dash and gauges in, boy this was not easy I am not sure how everyone does this but I think for just cutting around column I must have installed and removed 50 times, I am surprised the display still works after all the cuts around it.
You know how these go, every timing you want to stray from typical GTM it will take for ever, but finally I just decided let's just close the first capture even if not prefect since it does not exits anyway. unfortunately could not stop time and just kept getting older and older so it was time.
But again cut around the steering housing was hell at least for me but looks ok and telescopic column also works well.
I know exactly what you mean. Building a GTM is a full time job, and then every custom item we add to make it unique just pushes the timeline beyond acceptable.
That's what made me contract out some of the fiberglass work in order to make things happen sooner.
Are you running each of the ten modules over CANBUS (like OEMs)?
Did you use a BCM module as well, or did you program that into your main firmware ? (that is the approach I'm using)

That's cool that you programmed all of the modules with your own protocol.
I did not use ISIS, my system controls everything but the headlamps and tail lights using two controllers. I'm working on TPMS and Traction control that will use a 3rd module eventually.
So you have a separate controller for:
Front lights
Rear lights
TPMS
HVAC
Engine start
Gauge Information
Door/Hood/Hatch
Custom BCM
Accessory Control (Fans, etc.)
Main CANBUS controller
Is that close?

Yes and no, some are combined into one but all the function all done with these even my power steering speed control, these are IP67 rating enclosure also so very much ODM like device.
They also do fuel level, oil pressure, oil level, oil temp, coolant temp, RPM, speed, rear fan temperature control setting and more, one for local custom shops doing all of his electrical water pump, fans and AC controls with these.
I really can only say so much on the forum as how it is done and the level of capability of these devices. I am on my third evolution of this device and several revs of this version due to multiple functionality that these have, latest version doing the job well so far.
You have not seen my tail light but sort of one of a kind, I think you will like it, not easy to put video here( too large of files)
