A project I have been working on to replace the idiot lights with and LCD, to give it a more modern look.

Unfortunately, it's not plug and play. I had to do some cutting and soldering of the wires behind the idiot lights.

I want to take this a step further and install an android tablet and create an app to monitor the vitals. Can use a usb adaptor to get data into the unit..... someone with time and the expertise get on this.
