This is the new Mazda CX-6E. It comes with a 27" widescreen.

Is it possible to convert it into a computer monitor for mobile gaming?

It's a chinese market car that wont start delivering in australia until September.

Just connect the panel to a display controller? Jesus Christ what happened to this board
>>
>>108783856
They're cheaper to manufacture, and NPCs keep buying them
>>
>2006: nooo you can't have a 3" display it will distract you it's illegal
>>
>>108783846
It's already a literal computer monitor, bro.
>>
>>108783846
If it's not 500Hz at least I'm not interested.
>>
>>108783888
yeah but how do you figure what kind of interface it uses and how do you source an appropriate controller with usable input port? I fucked around with some salvaged parts and made a panel let out the smoke, because I think the controller was 24V

In the US, by law, all new cars must have a reverse gear camera. Since the company is already putting a screen in the car, they see it as a way to get rid of as many physical buttons, and the associated wiring, as possible.

>>108783846
Cars are so gay in 2026. All thats on the market here are similar looking compact crossovers or homosexual SUVs with giant screens.
The hatchback is dead. The sedan is basically dead as well.

There is a vehicle on the market that isn't just another bubble looking crossover.
>>
>>108785597
Its banned here. Not road worthy.
>>
>>108785699
Over here (Germany) it's not banned as much as "uncertifiable" (it's too heavy to be a private vehicle and would mean you'd need a CDL, also something about gay pedestrian safety).
Ironically if you are an Arab prince you can get these things with Dubai license plates meant for "transit transportation" and it becomes legal.
So with enough money there's a way around everything

How did they go from god-tier tactile buttons to one giant iPad in a single generation
>>
>>108783856
Because it'll eventually break and costs >$5k to fix, while controlling most of the car.
This kills the used market.
>>
>>108783846
Looks hideous, it isn't even integrated in the dashboard, just a big slab of screen in the middle. And having to look at the screen to select anything to drive because there are no physical controls is stupid.
>>
>>108784823
prolly some lvds thing. buy a second hand one, take it apart, notice how it's connected, find some chipset on the pcb and go from there. could probably put a switch somewhere in there.
how tf do you expect people here to help you out by just showing a marketing picture of the car interior?
>>
>>108783856
zoomers grew up
they're used to netflix and fortnite battlepasses
so they'll gladly buy that $15 subscription for the heated seats
for them, consuming slop is as natural as breathing
>>
>>108788903
you're confusing us with soýlennials which are the ones that enabled this clusterfuck and also had actual purchasing power when this started. we're pushing for physical buttons and less ecu fuckery but amerisharts gotta amerishart i guess

i'm hoping to get a motorcycle in the future, nowadays cars are jew pods full of gay anti-repair tricks to make you buy new ones
>>
>>108783846
It probably has a normal HDMI input.
And in a perfect world the car would have a connector for a laptop or phone so the passenger could use it as a screen.
But too many drivers would watch TikTok instead of paying attention to the road so we can't have that.
>>
>>108786904
Bro
The transmission or engine will go out before the screen.
>>
>>108786894
as with many things, blame Tesla
>>
>>108785202
You also want a screen for the satnav.

It's a shame if they remove physical buttons or replace them with that horrible haptic crap.
But a car pretty much needs a screen in 2026.
>>
>>108788651
well maybe someone dabbled with this and knows what to watch out for, or maybe even has a link to a good resource. for example this is very surface level: https://hackaday.com/2024/05/08/displays-we-love-hacking-lvds-and-edp/
for panels themselves I know of https://www.panelook.com/ but where to find the boards?
>>
>>108784083
and then they put your smartphone inside the big screen so its all legal
>>

The insurance pays that, and passes the incrased costs by raising premiums on all the minimum wage shitbox owners.

I'm with the boomers on that, it looks fuckin ridiculous.

Enjoy pulling that shit out of your face when you crash or someone else crashes into you. Hope it severs your lower jaw completely off! I hope homeless fucks break into your car just to smash that screen.

Boy does it feel fucking nice to drive a car built in 1999.

>>108783856

>>108783846
Why is all the shit off to the side I have to side eye to see my speed and stuff instead of slightly looking down 1 degree

>>108789445
Got an early 2000s Cadillac deville. Love that car. Leaks a little oil like all northstar engines do but idc. Been learning to wrench so I can keep it on the road. Plan on driving it until the wheels fall off. Keep thinking I should buy another older car while the getting it still good because I can't stand the new iPad mobiles.

>The hatchback is dead
2026 Prius is amazing though?
>>
>>108790516
The 2026 Prius is essentially a 5-door sedan with a liftback.

It's not a true hatch.
>>
>>108790532
What's the difference?
>>
>>108790544
Actual hatchbacks have a full-height roofline.

5-door sedans have a sedan roofline (sloped rear).

Basically limits the amount of shit you can actually fit in the hatch section vertically since the roofline is sloping down.
>>
>>108783861
what a braindead take. bet you're one of those retards that would get a 80 month car loan for a '26 plastic shitbox.
>>
>>108789617
It clearly has a HUD
>>
>>108790566
>Actual hatchbacks
actual hatchbacks are hideously ugly
>>
>>108790596
That's not really the point.

Hatchbacks are dead, you can say they're ugly all you want, but that doesn't change the reality that they're dead (in the US).
>>
>>108790603
Which is good because they're ugly egg shaped monstrosities.
>>
>>108790610
I mean, great. But that's not really part of the discussion being had.
>>
>>108790610
Then don't own one. There, that wasn't so difficult now is it, retard.
>>
>>108790659
less hatchbacks being made means more cars I would like to own being made, so I win.
>>
>>108788930
hope you go pre 2020 because they are also going towards there.
Fuck you so much, Yamaha. You are the kikest of the 4
>>
>>108789239
and who pays that insurance, faggot?
>Im paying more for worst shit, so im better than you
Im glad they are replacing (You)

It's almost as if arbitrary generational divides are propagated to keep people infighting rather than questioning who is controlling them
Slop consumption is a normoid thing, regardless of generation
>>
>>108789180
Wrong.
>>
>>108783856
A touch screen is cheaper to manufacture than an instrument cluster.

Boomers and genx are still in awe of modern technology thats been mainstream for over twenty years.
>>
>>108790692
>It's almost as if arbitrary generational divides are propagated to keep people infighting rather than questioning who is controlling them
Well put.

Why do car designers always do this? I get having a touch scree to save costs and what not. But can't they at least try to integrate the screen into the design?
>>
>>108792987
because Mazada are cheap shitty cars. What do you expect lol
>>
>>108786894
literal sabotage or literal retardation, no other explanation
right when Mazda was getting more motion than usual and praise because they still have physical buttons and other features that the industry has abandoned in favor of slop they ditch it and start making car-shaped appliances like everybody else
very pleased with my '24 Mazda but for future purchases they can suck my cock I'm going to the other japs, at least I get an objectively better car for the cost of putting up with the things I despise in modern cars
