Last "upgrade" :)

Finally I can post photos from my MPGuino installation. I've used Arduino based MPGuino from Prevka, I needed to add one wire missing in the harness to ECU to get FE signal. VSS signal is taken from the instrument cluster directly. At the beginning I've used big LCD display mounted on the center console, but it was not to visible in a sunlight so I've decided to but a small LCD display and mount it somewhere else, where visibility will be much better.

Here are some hotos from the process:

1. Original instrument cluster

2. Dismounted IC with a cutted out hole for LCD

3. New LCD

4. New LCD mounted


5. First test


6. IC mounted in a dashboard



Now it's visible and I like the "factory" look of it
