custom gauges
Hey all!
So, after my fiasco with my gauge needle, I considered doing something a bit different. I'm wanting to change out the tach, speedo and fuel gauge with aftermarket, properly sized versions of themselves. I was told, for the most part, the change would be plug and play. However, I'm going to lose my indicators that are present on the tach. This leads to a question. Is there a way to direct the indicator signals to an outside source or to a separate monitor so I can keep track of them easier, should an issue arise? If not, I could always use an obd2 reader at all times, but I'd prefer a cleaner approach. Any insight into this would be great, especially if you or someone you know has done similar. Thanks! |

Have you looked at the Haltech IC7 dash - I used one in my race car last weekend as my logger dash died and have seen one in a Suby Rex road car and they are awesome .... there is a printed carbon bracket that sits neatly under the OEM instrument panel top .... all driven from the OBDII connection for a road car
I'll hunt for a photo of my car from the weekend and post it here if I can find it. |

Who said this would be plug and play? Unless that person was talking about a haltech I would expect it to be a royal pain in the ... As far as the indicators go, I believe that they are all sent on the CAN bus in different messages, so if you're really 'bout that life then you can make a device to monitor the bus and do whatever you want when you see the bits in the messages. I'm not sure if the gauge cluster does this or if it has discrete lines for each indicator, but I do know that you can get at them from the CAN bus.

Not 100% decided on that part yet. I'd like to get an overall gameplan before taking the plunge with that decision. Anyone with gauges close or dead on the same size that we have stock. They need to be color adjustable or blue though as that's what my interior and accents are.

(Updated with correction) The turn signal stalk is wired to the BCM. When the turn signal stalk is signalling a turn, the BCM flashes the external turn signals and broadcasts a CAN message, that is received by the combination meter/gauge cluster which turns on/off the gauge cluster turn signal. The CAN ID for the turn signal is 0x60D (BCM), second byte, bit 6 for right turn / bit 5 for left turn. Last edited by SonicVQ; 04-01-2021 at 07:53 PM. |
