RHD Vitz RS cluster

2. Build a device that simulates the broadcasting of the speed data. This one sounds crazy, but is actually not that bad. With my YarGauge development work, I have a reference design that I can use. I can already read the speed from the ECM, so I just need to repackage that data into the correct message for the cluster.

Provided that I can figure out the CAN messaging for speed (or that the Prius message ID is the same and therefore I already have), then this is actually fairly simple. And, the hardware that I am using is not too expensive, so I should be able to provide a packaged solution for about $30.

For solution 1, I would have to ask Gideon if he could volunteer for an ECM swap to try that out....(very low possibility of happening, i think)

CTScott, if you could construct a device that broadcasts the speed data, I'd be willing to take that chance and option MORE than a ECM w/ ABS running on a car without an ABS system. I'd rather not have problems down the road w/ an ECM enabled for something and the actual car not having it at all.

CTScott, I'm willing to put down an extra $100+ towards your R&D work (seriously, just ask Gideon) to make the cluster work....

I'm keeping fingers crossed its the same message data from the Prius.

Converting 100 kmh to actual 100 mph? As awesome as it sounds, wouldn't the speed limiter have to be set to 120 kmh then, I dont think the car can handle going 180 kmh ~ 180 mph.....?
