    I'm about to drop $300 on a clean 2-gauge VDO setup for the ashtray, granted that includes senders and wire harness I would think that you can look at what people pay for gauges and consider that as the point to beat/match. I'm sure you can get a lot of good information in that space.

      This would be sweet. Do you think you could still cycle the display with the turn signal stalk?

        If somebody wanted to donate an appropriate stalk and cabling, I'm sure I can get it to work. Otherwise I was just going to leave it up the installer on where to put the button.

              I have a turn signal stalk from an early model. Pm me for a pic or whatever, I don't need it.

                It would also help to have as much of the cable that attaches to it intact. But yeah, that shouldn't be too hard at all.

                Is there a difference between early and late? Anyone that wants to donate one, PM me and I'll send along my address.

                  Sounds interesting. In for pricing/functionality.

                    Provocative! Compass and Voltage would be killer. After 6 months of looking at an open hole there I contemplated making a semi permanent Ipod mount bc its a perfect fit. Seemed like a waste with no Ipod connective head unit tho...

                            I've made a LOT of progress. I'll take some pictures when I get back into my workshop.

                            I am afraid that this will be ABSURDLY expensive in a small batch. It would also require a sizable down payment prior to production. So basically, there are huge obstacles to these finding their way into anyone elses hands.

                            Sadly, this may well be a one off. Short of someone wanting to go into business with me and deciding to invest a few thousand dollars in production equipment.

                              Would a Group Buy doing a small run make it more feasible? In other words, if you sell 10 of these at once, would that lower the cost per unit in any meaningful way?
