There is one perhaps minor problem, the display is also used for showing mpg/ trip mileage etc. which overides the TM's use of the display, for lighting faults, door open warnings etc.. So it is already a very heavily used display.
If data between TM and IPK is plain ASCII, it would be fantastic, but I doubt.

Display IS heavily used BUT TM displays messages when you are not in any of trip computer functions. Also, it is possible to display 4 lines of text on the display and those could contain current speed, mpg, coolant temperature and trip mileage.

Sounds good ?

Let's wait for ROGER with some data capturings
