Nice mod. Do you have any higher rez images of the cluster PCB and chips on it? I'm wondering how difficult it might be to add additional functionality to the instrument cluster LCD display by re-flashing hacked firmware. I'd like to enable engine temps, oil state fuel consumption rate, and some other functionality in the standard menu without going into the 'hidden' menu mode.
I'm thinking that most of the display functionality and what it does is built into the onboard controller and it merely gets info and control stick button press notification from the CAN bus.
