    Anyone put an "infotainment" in a HMMWV?

    My engineering perspective has been to not use existing systems as constraints, so I will purposely not look at the BFT system as cool as it is ;-) I think the best is to use a pair of HDMI and USB ports on the main controller to let installers decide what touch display they want and focus more...

    Anyone put an "infotainment" in a HMMWV?

    When I think about it, it will look more like a blue force tracking system, in summary. Much simpler but similar. Thanks for bringing this up! It won't reuse anything of the BFT but I'm thinking of enabling a few buttons on the frame around the display that can be used by the controller itself...

    Anyone put an "infotainment" in a HMMWV?

    Hi folks, I'm still really new to humvee world as an owner however I've been thinking about this project for a while: placing a large industrial touch monitor (HMI) above the dog house and connect it to the vitals of the vehicle through an industrial controller (because they already run...
