I asked about adding a Mile per gallon gauge *and* some people liked it, some wanted voltmeters, etc.

What about adding a screen (full screen mode or half screen mode) with information like mpg, volts, and compass to the NAVI display (Someone else had the good sense to suggest the NAVI panel.)

In one mode it would work like the AC panel, showing only the electronic gauges; in other mode, user could display one or more small digital gauges with the Navigation map.

 

One thing that scares me about having the navi control most of the A/C, is sooner or later the navi will go out.

You have a point. I'd hate to freeze *or* bake if the Nav unit failed!

i.e. BMW. If the screen on the bimmer goes out, they are screwed. No radio, no nothin...but they still get their AC though

Something like this?



...Skyline's 5.8" LCD Providing information as the boost pressure, water temperature and oil temperature and extending to the voltage, throttle opening, fuel injector opening rate, front toque split, intake air temperature and exhaust gas temperature for a total of nine items.

Not to mention that it also has an Accelerometer for how many G's you pull when accelerating braking or in the turns. It is also downloadable to your PC through a provided serial port so that you can compare data from different runs.

Now that's what I call badass.

Boy, if that's sick. Then, I wonder what is really sick?

Hey, what about the suffix on your Volks wheels?
