?My invention: Best boost/CAN gauge ever on the OEM red LCD display.
Wow, I am very interested in this. Some thoughts:
- I would love to have additional inputs (for things like proper oil temp & pressure, water temp, etc.). Am I right in concluding that there might be possibility for up to 4 extra inputs? I see from the AT90CAN datasheet that it has 7 ADC pins, with 4 available when using JTAG.
- A bare unit without case might be useful, in order to simplify custom fitment (e.g ashtray panel).
- Whereabouts exactly does it tap into the CAN lines at the moment? If you have doubts about where UK/Euro models route a CAN loom, due to absence of tyre pressure sensors, I might be able to figure something out from the factory service manual I have on CD.
@Whiterat: not sure about fuel economy display - might be a bit depressing!

I couldn't find anything in the service manual regarding the placement/nature of wiring looms behind the dash. No reference at all to TPMS module either, but no surprise there as it covers UK, Euro and Australian models only.
I have had the dash middle top cover off before - when attempting to locate and fix a rattle - and I don't remember seeing much wiring there. As far as my feeble memory recalls, there was only one wire bundle visible (apart from connections to centre speaker and LED display), connecting to something off to the side. It was encased in shrink-wrap, so no idea what the colours were.
Might have to disassemble again and find out properly, if I have the time.

I have kicked off manufacturing! First run will be 50 units. The preliminary ETA is about 6 weeks, the customized enclosures take the longest, but are the cheapest part. Go figure.
Here's to hoping all the cash I shelled out will be made up with sales

Put me down. For one of the 1st 50 units.
Are you gonna link here when u open the GB thread?
I can't divulge pricing here since it is against the rules.
