    well I'd assume that the CAN readings he is grabbing "should" be the same. We may just have to wire that into a different place.

    I wonder how different the screen actually is. wether it's different wires needed or it's actually programmed differently.

    Screen is same from what i read, but the issue is wiring behind the screen might be different. If this can clear CEL's and give error messages OMG i would pay decent money

    as long as you have the tech design details..circuit board, layout guide and componants. Making it would be easy prob need a hour or 2 with the soildering iron .

    given he selling them. It's not likely he'll give out that info. If we could find out how much they are I'd almost be keen to buy one to try it out.

    I know there was a discussion about that. But didn't see definite confirmation.

    My brother has one of these for his '8; cute device - main use as boost gauge and temps. Many people who got one are very dissapointed that Pieter has stop activity on the forums and providing support, not sure what it's like now.

    Pieter, I think, said he was going to release schematics and program/code etc., but never did. If he does I'd be happy to offer some of my electrical expertise getting one running for a 6... but I lack a lot of time and the test equipment (wihtout "borrowing from work") and don't want to pull my own car apart as a test bench.
