Why is it no one manufactures a Bluetooth stereo navigation system that’s app ready with backup camera, control for front camera and waterproof? Maybe even a dozen or so programmable channels for low power items and an app for the phone to remote control. WiFi that s***, like a couple do for basic controls.
Maybe add option of on screen tilt gauges, temp,altitude baro pressure and emergency weather...
They do multiple units for cars for under a few hundred bucks with a some of that. They could do a black box that’s got a built in amp to mount in separate spot like a few already do so there’s only the cable going up to dash and it would simplify install. s*** some of us don’t want a bunch of crap separately controlled all strung out through the cabin.
There’s probably 150 different head units for Marine/Sxs/ATV/Jeep so it’s a big market so I know it would sell. If it was 3/4 the price of everything separate people would buy. Why not innovate that and quit building what’s been already done!

We just need waterproof Bluetooth switches that can be linked to a tablet and controlled from it.

The people with the ideas are with you (FYI you left a few things out). But the people with the money like what they know is a sure thing. If they backed one too many bad ideas it makes it all that much harder.

Remember how the Segway was going to revolutionize personal transportation? Now Segway is owned by a Chinease company.

How about the GPS on the Rincon? Haven’t seen one of those for a while. Or the Acura ZDX. I liked the look but way out of my price range. Only saw one or two of those. What did it cost to develop products like that. That will keep the money guys up at night I bet.

I have something in the works that will do a decent amount of this. Once I have it reliably replacing switches. I will dig deeper into your other requests.

I’d rather Apple ready it would be more stable but yes that could work. But a major app would be in order to make it work seamlessly and WiFi control would be needed. Opening up several apps trying to control too much is a pain, I’ve tried running things through phone and get pissed.

I’ve always been the guy to come up with something then others manufacture and make money on lol. But seriously wtf?? Wouldn’t you like one nice touch screen controlled unit the size of an iPad mini with just a few dedicated buttons and a volume knob where that damn Honda warning sticker went?
Don’t know about everyone but I’d pay a mint for everything to work easily from something dependable that was easily wired in.

I sometimes like to think that at one time many eons ago there was a man who made ponds. Therefore, was he a Ponder? Kinda like a Smith or Baker. The job title names the name...A person that designs ponds could also have been a Ponderer...

I like to invert stuff all the time. I just tend to forget to write it down before the next idea comes along and obliterates the old idea for lack of space in the Brian....

Or the Cooper. I wonder why Ponder didn't stick? Maybe 'cause those folks didn't get paid enough. People in Universities these days don't think enough. They call them professors. These days they just profess hate...
