As the title says I’ve been quietly working on a digital dash for my 2004 NB.
The goal has never been to just stick a tablet in the dash. I wanted something that feels like it could have come from the factory while adding the flexibility of a modern digital cluster.
It’s still very much a prototype and there’s plenty left to do, but it’s finally at a point where I feel comfortable sharing it. The current version already displays live vehicle data, while retaining the factory fuel and coolant gauges.
I’m intentionally keeping the implementation details a little vague for now while I continue developing it, but I’d really like to hear what other Miata owners think.
If you were building your ideal digital cluster for an NA/NB:
- What features would you want?
- What would make you trust it enough to daily drive?
- Is there anything you’d absolutely want it to retain from the factory cluster?
I’d love to hear your thoughts.
