GOODbox - using OEM LCD display for boost guage, temp, etc (for RX8)
g'day all.
This relates to an RX8 mod that I noticed.. but theoretically should be workable for other models with similar displays..just need someone to work it out and offer it.
Basically, some smart cookie worked out how to hook into/intercept the OEM LCD display on RX8's, and override the text/info being sent to the display from the head unit, replacing that text with anything you want, including data straight from the ECU. He has it reading coolant temp, boost/vac, etc - anything that's on the ECU..
Looks neat, thought you might be interested (hope its new). hes selling it in small scale.
there's a couple of vids and plenty of info about it on the link below (so i wont bother plagiarising here)!
Pieter3D has stated in one (or both of the threads) that it is currently not compatible with the Mazdaspeed 3 or 6, as it uses a different protocol to communicate with the display.
