All with the single button that you used before for the clock. Short press to change modes. Long press to set shift light in RPM mode, long press to set clock in any other mode.

Any way to add that in?

It is very possible! It would just require tapping one more wire on the cluster connector. I think I'll have to add it as another switchable option (so those who don't want to deal with tapping another wire don't have to).

This would give two more screen - Gallons or Liters left (rather than black bars) and estimated miles left at current burn rate.

This guy Scott is a genius! My money is READY! OMG this is gonna be so cool to have!

Awesome! So would we be able to configure it to show our current fuel economy / mpg AND miles left to empty?

I only have 14 characters to work with, but something like this would fit:

MPG:9999 123Mi

[IsLNdbOi]

That would be cool. Also, for the fuel economy you'd just need two characters, right?

Like this:

MPG:xx

If someone gets triple or quad digit fuel economy, please let us all know your secrets!

This is so awesome Scott you have covered everything needed and a lot more. You really went the extra mile by adding cruise control indicator, and all the other new things.

I like the new screen better. Can't wait!!! Can't wait!!!

[ezhacker1]

is fuel system status like how many gallons left?

I'm sure I can get 99 mpg going downhill Technically, when the DFCO kicks in you get infinite mileage as long as the DFCO is on.

A related issue to the Yargauge- In trying out the OZ cluster I ham fistedly broke the tabs on the front of the bezel trim and need a new one to make my dash look 100%. First off I want to warn Yargauge buyers to be VERY VERY careful removing the bezel as the front tabs are extremely fragile. If they break off on removal the dash loses the tight shuntline right in the front where it's most noticeable when you reinstall the bezel- so be careful guys. Secondly I wanted to ask if anyone knows if the bezel trim is the same on the sedan and hatch. There are always these parts available on eBay but most seem to be from sedans. Thanks for the help fellow Yargauge enthusiasts!

It's actually fairly easy to hit 3 digits (even without DFCO kicking in). The scangaugeII displays 9999 when in DFCO mode. The YarGauge will display DFCO, rather than 9999.

The sedan and LB ones are different.

When removing the cluster trim, the key to not breaking the tabs is to pull the cluster trim with the radio surround. They separate much easier when off then when on the car, because of the angle required to gently pull the cluster's tabs out of the top of the radio trim. (I didn't figure that out until about to 10th time I had my dash apart).

Ah I see. I'll have to read that DFCO thread. I saw it on one of the forums before and it was always being bumped, but I never did go into it.

Anyway, I'll take whatever you can do with the MPG / mile-to-empty simultaneous display.

I was always jealous that my Dad's Hynundai had this feature, but my Yaris didn't.

Thanks Scott- I envisioned a run on bezels when the YarGauge hit the streets.

Around when can we expect this to be done?

Very soon. I expect to be taking orders and shipping by the second week of February at the latest.
