Well, OK, I don't have a scope that records anything and I also don't feel like tearing the dash apart.....yet. But, if we decode the data stream, then we still need to create a "smart" rear display. One that has enough brains in it to decode and display just the same as the one in the dash. I'm proposing a "dumb" display. I'm not sure how may segments are in the dash mounted unit or of the segents present, just how many are being used. But, assuming it's seven per digit, then maybe a ribbon cable with 3x7 plus hot & ground equals 23 leads running from front to rear. It's probably simpler to splice into the driver outputs anyway. I admit using one of those pre-made scrolling displays would be really cool since theoretically you could send other text. Still thinking here. Thanks for the ideas. Fred in Warren, MI.
Remote "Back Window" MPG Display?
Has anyone been able to extract segment driver information from the dash MPG display and been able to fabricate a nice bright large display for MPG so drivers behind me can see how I'm doing? Are their any remote MPG display kits being marketed? I think that alone would be responsible for for increase in Insight interest as much as anything else. Fred in Michigan.
