If you WANT to program, then that is another matter entirely, the project no longer has dependencies on arduino (arduino is ok for prototype but not production imho as it adds another layer of stuff that breaks and needs maintaining and fights with your still needed low level C code), though folks have compiled the source and loaded it onto one. I prefer avr-gcc, and isp programmers since they don't need a bootloader, which soaks up 2k and also adds instability.
Is the LCD backlit? If not, don't you think that is an obvious feature to have since it is used in an automotive application? It can't be hard to use a backlit display vs the normal one.
