So, last week I was at a training conference in Phoenix for the MicroChip PIC microcontrollers (which I use in everything that I build) and their automotive group was showing this custom cluster that they made for the Chevy Silverado. It connects to the CAN bus and completely emulates the OEM cluster, plus has some diagnostic capability.

Wouldn't it be awesome to replace the entire cluster, rather than just having a small display?

I would go for the smaller display, it adds more detail while keeping the oem looks.

you could make, sell, and support a small display now

make some coin, and then partnerships, and work toward bigger items

I am still just planning on doing the small display. It was just one of those things that got me thinking. The cost to do the custom plastic would be crazy.

cluster

Remove the guts of the original cluster and use it for the new electronics.

you sound like the guy who is rebuilding my tranny for me 4runner

This guy is -good-, sorta underground, doesn't advertise at all, and
has a reputation for building racing transmissions...anyhow I dropped it off
and said "Yeah I am in no rush at all, take your time I can drive this micromobile around in the meantime...".

It is 4 months now and I just started hounding him in jest... "git it done ! I needs me woods-buggy !"...
and in the meantime at his shop someone is crying "It's been 2 weeks..."

time to move certain projects to the front of the queue...you gotta get it done before
the asteriod hits us in 2012 or whatever the hell else threatens the ability to get some
fun out of a gee-gaw you dangled to us ages ago, and now...GASP!....a Celica distraction ?
