Not yet. I don't like to take people's money until I am ready to ship.

Correct (reader and resetter).

I am calibrating the temperature sensor input on my car (and on Crashy for comparison) right now.

How does the unit install to the car Scott? Does it read from the OBD2 port?

Once the full production units are complete, I'll post the install pictures, but basically: You unplug the clock's connector, pop the clock module out, and pop the YarGauge in, in its place. I realized tonight that only 3 tap splices will be necessary, as I can have the clock's power connector plug right into the YarGauge. The three taps are for CAN communication (two taps on the right cluster connector) and one to the AC amplifier for the outside temperature (which is easily accessible by the gas pedal). It uses the same switch lever as the clock as well.

It communicates with the ECM via the CAN bus, but it grabs it at the cluster, so you can still have a scangauge or other device use the OBD port.

just too cool for words

advocate · 01-10-2010, 02:24 AM

And what about clusters with the clock on the other side? Will compatibility be similar?

RedRide · 01-10-2010, 11:25 AM

I like that it will be able to maintain the stock, orange color.

I do have one question ...
I noticed that in the last pics, the cluster brightnees is turned up to what seems to be to max but the modual seems a bit dimmer than the other displays.
If you were to turn the brightness down a bit like at night, will the new modual still be as visible as the rest of the cluster?
Will the new modual indeed be able to be dimmed along with the cluster?

Right now I am not using the dimmer feed, so the display would be the same brightness with headlights on or off. Now that it is in the car, that's one thing I'll experiment with to determine if dimming is needed (I have a feeling it won't, as the backlit LCD is not as bright as the speedometer).
