You would be better off buying a more compatable screen and making it fit the MFD such as this :



Then buy one of the readily available serial interfaces that supports the screen

xxKPH only shows up to 53 KPH, then it says + 53KPH, unless you have the computer board thing - which you can buy from:

I'm assuming that the MFD works just like a standard external display screen?


This can be done - although i have no idea how!

A guy on another forum im on, created a circuit board to replace the one in their - that displayed all sorts of neat stuff - although this was all programmed to work, im sure their should be a way to serially display things within certain perameters!

If not, then go buy one of the units made by PVD for this!!
