in dash clock as tach?

Tuck, i saw the threads. thats cool but to hack the clock and retain the stock finish would be much easier i think.

im sure if someone was able to hack the clock they could aslo disable the colon.
either way.
stored DTC's would be cool but wouldnt that require taping into the ecu = alot more complications i would assume.

i neither have the time or MONEY to do anything right now. im sure there has to be some electronic junkie who has tried.
meh. IF ever get to this ill post

The reason I mentioned the stored DTC's is that I have a complete working OBDII interface that a buddy and I created a few years ago (with the intention of marketing it as a $50 code reader that could also display one sensor's data {tach, water temp, etc.}). Before we finished it, the cheap readers hit the market. We completed the project for our own use and have been looking for a use for it. This thread got me thinking that a fully integrated limited function scangauge might be a perfect application for it.
