[/quote] you can buy little widgets that connect the diagnostic connector on the Corsa's ECU that sits on the serial/RS232 port of a pc (or your own board) - its then just a simple case of opening a serial connection and firing strings/comamnds down it to recieve info back...you can get the current speed, rpm, fuel flow, temps etc you can also change a lot of stuff using it aswell. The only down side of it all is the mileage - as the ecu doesnt store this (i dont think), its just the original clocks, so you'd probably have to install mechanical mileage, as there is no proof of the original mileage if you transfered it all to digital - obviously there are ways of doing, but i dont think it would be legal :| [Edited on 06-06-2005 by Dom] [/quote] Does this wire and software already exist? Sooo want it! [/quote] this board to connect to the ecu does exist, its about 120 quid or so. As for software, there is stuff already made, but it more for diags of the car and changing bits. If you were designing this for something like Fears dash, you would probably not use a pc and build your own little board with a processor that outputs via serial to the ecu board and display the information accordingly. But using a pc, means you could knock something up a lot easier - and you could use the pc as a media system as well etc etc [/quote]
