Built across vehicle platforms.
A flexible platform with vehicle-specific integration.
Dynamic Dash is developed across a 2016 HSV GTS and a 2017 Audi B9 S5, bringing the platform beyond a single vehicle brand.
Vehicle signals and integration remain specific to the vehicle and configuration. The optional 54-pin-to-54-pin Audi B9 harness is a B9-specific accessory and is included with the full system.

Build in Visual Studio.
Run on the dashboard.
First-class .NET plugins connect a familiar development environment with your own vehicle applications.
Create.
Start with a UI-panel or background-plugin template and develop against the supplied SDK.
Build and package.
Choose the project and configuration in the Visual Studio extension, then build a deployable plugin package.
Select and deploy.
Select the target device and deploy from the tool window.
Make it part of the system.
Pin a UI plugin in the top bar or run background logic. Manage a screen-free installation through the web interface.
The Android platform hosts CoreCLR with Roslyn and a substantial implemented .NET SDK. The supported WPF-shaped XAML surface maps to native Android controls. FastBinder provides a separate native/shared-memory transport between Java and .NET; Java reaches that layer through JNI.
Proposed configurations
Three ways to supply the same Dynamic Dash software platform. These are proposed configurations, with availability still to be determined.
The custom software, Android ROM and vehicle integration are the core of every configuration. Supplying your own hardware keeps that same substantial software foundation.
