diy gauge I made a while ago...where do I put it?
 
So, way back in the day (2005) I had an sti and I started this long project to build my own gauge...

https://code.google.com/p/robotmeter/

Look at the one on the lower left video. It was the most stable version.

I also have a version the is postage stamp size lcd in color.

Where would you mount this in a brz?

There is arduino code and "widgets" to allow one to display stuff via RCA. So, in theory I could just get data from sensors and display it on the nav headunit (in place of a rear view camera, while using a switch to fool the headunit into believing it was in reverse...you might still get stuck with the "be aware of your surroundings" message, but oh well.)

(edit...I found the easy one that uses simple serial commands)

(To answer the most frequently asked question about this: No, it doesn't do OBD II...yes the mpgduino has a lib of code that does this and would make for a wonderful addition.).
