Good idea!

Does the '09 5-door LB have a built in temp. sensor? When I installed my CIPA rear-view mirror w/ compass, temp. and map lights, I had to install a temp. sensor. I clipped that to the bottom-most grill on the front bumper.

Yes. All Yaris with AC have it. No aftermarket device would interface to it though, as it isn't universal enough.

im really excited to see the final product and to get it installed!

devinlamothe · 01-14-2010, 09:24 PM

I was thinking of putting it in the plastic covering by the wind-shield washer lever - you know, the one that covers the hole for the push start button?

I could get a rectangle shape laser cut, then laser cut a piece of thin plexi-glass to glue onto it, then put the screen below. That way the wires can run through the hole, and I could still see it while driving.

Not the best solution but I think that is where I am going to place mine.

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.

This is just amazing! Can't wait for final product!!!

kustom play · 01-20-2010, 07:26 PM

Scott,

On my dads car the other day he showed me a really cool feature. It tells him how many miles till empty.

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.

kustom play · 01-20-2010, 09:48 PM

very cool!

yarstar · 01-20-2010, 11:19 PM

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

IsLNdbOi · 01-20-2010, 11:50 PM

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 · 01-21-2010, 02:06 AM

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!

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.
