GI: "YarGauge" replacement clock module (Digital Tach, etc.) - Page 8 - Toyota Yaris Forums

CTScott · 12-17-2009, 10:15 AM

Right now I have the following programmed:

1. RPM (displayed as a number or a bar graph)
2. Clock
3. Fuel Economy (MPG)
4. Ambient Temp
5. Coolant Temp
6. Intake Air Temp
7. Display / Clear DTCs (check engine light)
8. Battery voltage.

If there are additional data pieces that people would like to see, let me know and I'll add them before I go to production.

One option that I will be building in is a USB interface for connecting a laptop for those that wish to do data logging. The PC software will be a reasonably priced option that will be offered within a couple of months after the release of the unit itself.

Oil temperature?

Unfortunately, the Yaris doesn't have a sensor for oil temp.

Just out of curiosity CTScott.....there wouldn't be any way to modify this onto my Vitz RS cluster, now would there? I'm really intrigued by the other functions you've accommodated for this module.

Or if you're module can function as a backup odometer if the original odometer can't be solved on the RS cluster....

I'm still trying to figure out a solution for it for people who have clusters with a tach. I'd like to find an alternate mounting place, which doesn't require modification of plastic.

That is more than enough. I would have paid for just a tach.

I'd still be interested in one of these even if I couldn't get it to go into the existing cluster. I have a GPS hanging off my window already, so it wouldn't bother me to just scotch tape the thing to my GPS lol. Anything that gives me more information about what's going on in the car than just the MPH and RPMs will be an improvement.

Function over form all the way here.

We'll figure out some way to make it Sedan friendly. You sedan people miss out on too many toys.

Most likely not. I am targeting getting the production prototype installed in my car this week for a final shake-down before going to full production.

dean_park · 12-25-2009, 10:11 PM

cool... just figured I'd ask since I'm in the neighborhood. I don't make it out this way too often anymore.

dean_park · 01-06-2010, 09:32 AM

Hi CTScott, How is prototype and beta build so far? Best of luck!

It's getting there. With the wife and kids on vacation at the same time as me, I didn't get as much done as I wanted.

Here's a teaser of what it's looking like. This week the production proto will be in my car, so I will be able to grab some installed pics and video:
