TL;DR
- A DIY enthusiast named Desmontei turned an old Wear OS smartwatch into a gear knob with a display.
- He vibe-coded a Wear OS app and 3D printed the housing.
- It shows the car’s active gear and can also be used to control Spotify songs with swipe gestures.
If there’s one thing car lovers and DIY enthusiasts agree upon, it’s that there’s no better feeling than to actually get under the hood (no pun intended), make tweaks, and figure things out. And when you bring those two things together, you get something like this, an utterly wild and impressive project that merges cars with DIY chops, a love of 3D printing, and repurposing old gear.
