So if you're still working on this, will it still be compatible w/ '09 and earlier Yarii?

Yes. If I do it as a kickstarter I will be able to offer multiple options, which will include the clock replacement version for 06-11 liftbacks, as well as other packaging options for other Yaris and other Toyota/Lexus/Scion vehicles.

I'm guessing this project is permanently dead?

This would suggest otherwise...

It is coming, at some point, when Scott feels it is ready. And when he thinks it is ready, it will be bug free, which is really important.

There's also a point where it'll be pointless since the car it was originally meant to go in has changed (center mounted cluster is no more in the 2012 Yaris).

There's also the point that 95% of us waiting for it don't have 2012 models. It's not about placement, as long as it has the same square clock module, it'll replace it. Doubt that the location of the cluster makes ANY difference, and if it does, that's why he's going to include a USB interface and will be pushing out firmware updates.

I would say I'm about 85-90% likely to buy at $150, and 80-85% likely at $200.
Simply for the ability to read the codes without bugging my buddy with an OBDII reader, it's worth the money. |

Probably not, everyone has been asking about this project, it's been 3 years in the work, and nothing yet. It's been said before but by the time this is done it will be pointless. The demand is there for it and I'm pretty sure with everyone showing interest in this he would make his money back quickly.

It's not about the money, it's about the time. Scott has to work for a living, and has a family to support and spend time with. He's stated numerous times he WILL get this project done, but work and family come first.
It won't be "pointless" to get it done, as 90% of us will still have our Yaris when it is completed and are still looking forward to it.

Haven't been on these forums for ages. I guess nothing ever came of this...

I have never actually brought it to market because the cost of a daylight readable display is cost prohibitive. I have been working on a WiFi based OBD dongle, where you use your phone, laptop, etc. with it. I realize that there are many similar devices out there, but the advantage to mine will be the Toyota specific pieces that others don't offer (like the ability to read and reset trouble codes on any of the ECU's, as opposed to just on the ECM).

That's the hard reality of production: it doesn't matter how cool it is if you can't get it to market at a price people are willing to pay. Perhaps you should have the thread locked?
