Unfortunately, I didn't keep everything to one thread
Here is my attempt to fix this, incase you want to follow from the start

DIY Mini-Dash LCD Gauges Update #2 - New Layout & Multiple Screens!
I am pleased to report some MORE excellent progress on the mini-dash LCD gauges!
This version shows 35 unique data items (see full list below video link), on 16 different pages, that are meaningful for the 370 enthusiast.
To change the displayed page, just push the cruise on/off button twice within 1.5 seconds. Super easy!
Also, when your headlights turn on and the dash dims, so does the gauge back light. No illumination wiring needed!
Once the snow clears, the next video will show the gauge operation while going for a drive in the country.
Full list of available data items:
Data items from the "Bluetooth Sensor Server" and additional sensors:
• Engine oil pressure
• Fuel pressure
• Manual transmission oil temperature
• Differential oil temperature
• up to 4 additional temperature, pressure or even ethanol sensors.
From the car's network (CAN bus)
• ECT: Engine coolant temperature
• EOT: Engine oil temperature
• EOP: Engine oil pressure
• AFR B1: Air/fuel ratio bank 1
• AFR B2: Air/fuel ratio bank 2
• Individual wheel speed
• MAF 1: Mass air flow, bank 1
• MAF 2: Mass air flow, bank 2
• IAT: Intake air temperature
• MAP: Intake manifold pressure (aka boost sensor)
• TB 1: Throttle body absolute position bank 1
• TB 2: Throttle body absolute position bank 2
• APP: Accelerator pedal position
• IGN: Cylinder #1 ignition timing
• TORQ: Engine torque
• HP: Calculated HP (from engine torque & engine RPM)
• AWD: Front wheel torque. 0% = RWD only, 100% = fully AWD and 50/50 torque split
• SIDE g: Lateral acceleration
• STRG: Steering wheel angle
• TOT: Automatic transmission fluid temp
• IN RPM: Automatic transmission input shaft RPM
• OUT RPM: Automatic transmission output shaft RPM
• GEAR: Automatic transmission current gear (1-7)
• Automatic transmission torque converter status: Locked or Sliding
• BRAKE PSI: Brake line pressure
• BARO: Outside air pressure
• OUT TEMP: Outside air temp
• CRUISE: Cruise control set speed
• RAD FAN: Rad fan duty cycle. 0% = off, 100% = full speed
• VOLTS: System voltage
• CFM: Calculated, real time engine air flow in cubic feet per minute. Uses intake air temperature and outside air pressure to calculate intake manifold air density and uses the total mass air flow to calculate actual engine air flow.
