It's coming along. A little slower than I'd hoped, I've been quite busy at work, so I haven't had as much time to build the hardware as I'd like. As shown earlier, the interface to the car is done, and I've just recently gotten the microcontroller talking to the interface and a small lcd (only 2x16, it's what was available in the 'to scrap' pile at work, I'll be buying a larger display after some of the prototyping is done) to display some info from the car.
I'm in the process of adding things like buttons, various leds, and some extra on-board flash to the design, but it's taking time to build. I'm hoping to get some time to hook up the remaining components this week and then it should all just be software.
As for the SoC, getting the information has been put on hold temporarily, as I do some of the other work on the project (I've received quite a bit of information, but something is missing, and I've got some leads, I just need to follow them), but it will resume shortly.

Anyway, I'll be sure to take some pictures soon and post what I can.
