OK. So far it looks like I'll keep the clock function. The other function that I am thinking of adding is inside and outside temperature.

I will also be experimenting with 1 line vs 2 line LCDs to see what will fit in the slot that the clock peeks through. the slot is actually about 1 5/8" x 5/8", so it may be possible to squeeze a 2 line by 8 character LCD in there, which would allow the clock or temp to be displayed simultaneously with one of the other items.

Also, the RPM measurement will be done directly (via the Tach input wire to the meter), rather than through the CAN comm with the ECM. This will make it more responsive than the devices that get it second hand from the ECM.

Sign me up! I'd love one of these. $75 sounds like a reasonable price to me. I would like to keep the clock though also :)

Shhhhh! It is a great idea, but unless it does everything a Scanguage does at $150, it shouldn't be more than $100.

Garm's wallets are deeper than our I think unfortunately

This does sound amazingly well thought out and a great mod overall. Would be hard not to want to buy one that's for sure.

I'm prototyping on a greenish one, because I have it lying around. For production I will at the very least offer versions to match the two current colors of clocks. I looked into VFDs, which are what the clock displays are. A character one (as opposed to just 7-segment numbers) is about as expensive as the target price, so it looks like it will be LCD for sure.

I'm definitely down for one of these. clock option would be ideal, but not a necessity.

On the OEM cluster with the tach, the clock is integrated into the part where the fuel gauge and odometer are located.

My module will only be for non-S clusters, which have the separate clock module on the left of the speedometer.

Well that leaves out every Canadian model, since we all have our clocks with the fuel gauge on the right.

Nooooooo.

Interesting. So, all Canadian Yaris have tachs, or just have the clock as part of the fuel gauge?
