I'm still trying to figure that out. The ones with the clock on the right, are either LBs with the cluster with the tach, or are sedans. In both of those cases the odometer and fuel gauge are part of that display, so I can't really replace it. For those, I am trying to figure out another mounting place that would still have the OEM integrated look.

Is there still going to be a sedan version?

This brings up another concern.
Since it is "not as bright......
Often in bright, anbient light, the stock gage cluster is hard to read. Is this also a prblem with the new modual?
Perhaps abient light does not effect it as much?

Is there an easy way to conect it to the dimmer feed?

Question: Can the temperature display read in celsius as well as farenheit?

Yes. A switch bank on the back allows configuration of options including metric vs. US standard.

A possibility would be to sell two versions then?

1) Integrated as a clock in a small unit

2) Integrated via a single DIM unit like a scanguage?

Just an idea! Keep up the great work Scott.

Wow, i can't wait to get this! applause to you CTScott for a brilliant idea and execution!

arunto · 01-10-2010, 09:32 PM

unit looks nice....i can't wait till it comes out. would we use the current push button on the cluster to change between functions?

joshpjost · 01-10-2010, 10:12 PM

I am interested in how you'd incorporate it into the sedan! I'll buy.

Yes. It will use the same push button to change modes and set the clock. Programming for the one button user interface has been one of the most difficult aspects of this, but I wanted to avoid making people drill holes for extra switches.

Sweet. Sorry if this was already answered way back.

Hmmm. Shift light function would be easy to add. The only thing is that it might not be the ideal place for one peripheral vision wise, while launching.

Hi all,

New to the forum here.

CTScott - this one cool project you are undertaking. It is great enough to make me join the forum! Count me in for one of these. Thanks for your great work.

Revsson · 01-13-2010, 08:49 PM

Looking good CTScott!
With these tap splices, will it be easy to put back the old unit, in case I
would sell the car?

Yes. You'd pop them off and put a small piece of tape over the nick in the insulation.

Why remove it if you sell it?

I suspect that any new owner would like the mod also.

IsLNdbOi · 01-14-2010, 01:55 AM

... and it probably wouldn't work on other cars unless you plan on getting another Yaris if you sold your current one.

After reading this thread it appears the YarGauge will not work on my 2010 3-dr manual, which has a tach on the left.
