Since I noticed that there are only 10 wires between the main PCB and the dislplay, would it be possible to mount the two units separately?

The advantages I'd think might be gained are:
1. thinner flat unit display could mounted in or on a dash, or in a smaller case,
2. perhaps less heat in the overall unit,
3. PCB mounted in perhaps a more convenient location?

Perhaps the downside would be that the 3 buttons to change displays would be separate from the display.

I've seen the Volvo units mounted in the dash clock while the control knob is on the right of the steering wheel, on the dash.
