If there's enough interest for non-left hand clock people, I'll just offer a "packaged" option, where the device is in a plastic box like a ScanGauge.

We all have tachs + the clock is part of the fuel guage setup.

I think all the Yaris over here have Tach's as well , at least in the Hatch back they do
Cause we have the Digital dash
i am more interested in water temp , and fuel mileage .
just so you know
And THANK YOU VERY MUCH , for even looking to do this .

I COMPLETELY AGREE.

CT: I am so down with this! You wlll solve the 'no tach' issue very OEM and I can finally get rid of my aftermarket tach.

I love the idea of an outside temp option.

I agree with Garm. This a a great idea and I will buy it a heartbeat.

If this turns into a an external device (like smaller version of the ScanGauge) and turns out it's not going to be a replacement for the digital clock, then count me out.

Also, to get outside temps. you'll need to sell a thermometer probe like the kinds used with Gentex and CIPA rear-view mirrors that show outside temps., right?

For the right hand clock clusters, there's no place within the cluster to mount it (without cutting plastic). My original thought with this whole thing is that it would really be for the tachless people. It started off as simply a tach in place of the clock and then the more I thought about it the more features that kept popping to mind.

Correct on the sensor probe for outside temp (although if I can figure out the CAN messaging for the A/C ECU, I can use it's outside temp probe and save people having to run a probe wire through the firewall).

I am making great progress on this. I built a CAN bus interface this week and can read the PIDs (all of the standard OBD data), can read and reset stored DTCs, and can sniff the communication on the CAN bus between the ECM and the body ECUs.

So are you planning on two versions? One being a replacement for the clock module for the ones with the left hand clock and one for those with the right hand clock?

The whole allure in this in the beginning was in replacing the clock with a multi-function device that fit in the same spot.

The right hand clocks can't really be replaced, since that display is non-removable and integrated into that display is quite a bit more than just the clock. You just have to figure out another place on the dash where it can be installed to still look OEM. Maybe there's something else that we can pop and replace on cars like yours.

Oh no, I was just wondering. My clock is on the left like all other 5-door '09s in the US.

I like the idea of a temperature readout and a clock, and the other features.
Being that my car is still brand spanking new to me (10 months), I still haven't taken
anything apart on it. However, I might be forced to try a mod.

I don't even know what any of that means, but you sure sound like you do! I am so excited about having a digital tach in my OEM cluster! Keep up the good work!
