GI: "YarGauge" replacement clock module (Digital Tach, etc.)

[advocate]

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.
