It would be nice to have a simple CAN bus interface for the LCD & Controller.
The hardware is already there -- the default PIC chip has a built-in CAN controller, and the board has spots for a CAN transceiver and the few minor extra parts.

I doubt anyone saved the $3 in parts by using a lower-spec PIC chip without eCAN and omitting the transceiver, so the capability is just sitting there waiting to be enabled with a firmware add-on.
