Hitbox Junkie Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Does the syvecs bluetooth mod/app give you all the same functionality as the toucan it self. I'm going to making the decision to use a tablet built into the dash instead of getting a radio. But I also want a toucan if I can combine the 2 that would be ideal but would only want to do this if you get all.all . the functions of the toucan. I may just end up getting a toucan. If I plug a laptop into syvecs is there a way of doing what the toucan does without having to buy one? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Thanks Could you do me a favour and post a link to the product you used? Would rather get a tried and tested one than one that doesn't work +1 to that If it works im definitely buying one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quote tricky to cut to the correct size so get a brand new Stanley knife as its quite thick plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Budz86 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Pretty sure the app allows you to do all of the things the toucan does, and yes if you plug a laptop in and know what you are doing you can easily see what the toucan does, but that's a pretty cumbersome way of doing things. If you don't know what you're doing, you could easily delete or edit the map and that wouldn't be much fun! Out of interest, if you chose a tablet over a radio, how are you going to get music in the car? Tablet on its own won't be loud enough and don't know how you'd amp it without a headunit?

Just the 3.5mm jack to an RCA connection which runs to the amp would work. That's what I've done for my setup and there's no problem with sound levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitbox Junkie Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 What mount do you guys use when putting it where the clock was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) What mount do you guys use when putting it where the clock was? I cut two acrylic discs, one the same size as the clock hole, and one a bit larger. I then glued them together, and pushed it through from the back. I then drilled 4 holes to match up with the threads in the back of the toucan, and screwed it in from the back. This makes it flush with the dash, but on the downside you can't adjust the angle, and the screen suffers from glare a lot. Hopefully the anti glare covering mentioned in this thread will sort that If you look in my build thread you'll find some pics, it would be just before I went single Edit: I dint take many pics unfortunately, but you can see the mount here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?312625-Jays-VVTi-Single-Turbo-Paddleshift-build-thread/page31 Probably a few more pics on the surrounding pages.

Hitbox Junkie Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I do like that. Only asking the mounts as I get an option of 3 vent mount. Permanent and tilt/swivel. I will probably do similar with the acrylic discs and try adding a tilt to it or the anti glare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitbox Junkie Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Yes mate /QUOTE] Cheers for the reply looks like I'll be cutting the dash to get the cables in. Too much of a bend and don't want to break wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
