The people on here whining about when its coming or releasing sound like the same people who are Android forums waiting for a new updated ROM release for their smartphones...

Its a FREE service someone is going out of their way to provide us. It will be ready when its ready...

I dont see any of you people giving him a hand in it, so zip it, sit tight, and wait for it.

When someone releases an updated ROM for a phone, and when there are bugs in it, people whine about it...I dont get it.. You just whined about not having it, now you whine about bugs in it?

CTScott doesnt want any bugs in it, only perfection.....so just please wait for it.

I don't think anyone really was "whining" about it not being done - just more along the lines of "will it ever happen."

I do understand work + life is the number one priority and hobbies and interests take the back seat, especially in this economy.

I would be willing to put up the $150-$200 bucks or whatever it cost up front if I knew it was happening :) (ie like Kickstarter)

I also do appreciate what you have done CTScott, just because no one else has developed anything nearly as cool/OEM looking for our cars. Sure the ScanGuage is close, but what you've made is something that Toyota should have included in the first place.

That's actually a great idea. Why doesn't he start a Kickstarter page that way if everyone actually shows interest still, the money all flows in and he then has time to finish.

I'm willing to wait for it. It will be such an intuitive piece of the car, and you know for sure nobody else will ever undertake this.

I'm just glad we have a member of our own community that's willing to spend his time on it.

I'm waiting until I can buy this and load Ice Cream Sandwich into my Galaxy S2 on the same day.

Kickstarter would actually be a great way to go. That would force me into some milestones as well as give me the capital necessary, without having to put it up out of pocket.

I have a consulting job that I will be wrapping up the second week of June, that once complete, will give me some free time. Within the next couple of weeks I will setup the kickstarter.

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?

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.

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.
