Exclamation READ THIS if you own a GTO

Are you in Central Texas? Do you want to turn on your shift light? Custom startup text? Make the temperature gauge work for real instead of being just a dummy gauge? For FREE!?

I have already ordered the cable we need and another local GTO has a windows laptop for us to use. We will be meeting and doing this to all our cars so if you want this stuff for 15 minutes of your time PM me!

Not with this cable and program, this is a Holden Monaro/Pontiac GTO specific mod to our cluster. You might be able to program your C5 cluster in a similar way, but it would take a good amount of programming knowledge and time. It took many, many, many hours of time on LS1 GTO figuring out the cable and programming to get to this point and we're very lucky this is an open source program. There are other 'advanced' features still not completely hashed out that could brick a cluster, but these will work safely.

I made the initial investment on the cable and figured I'd try to help out other GTO owners. It's annoying having the little clear dot on the cluster that doesn't do anything.

Bump, we now have 7 GTOs and will be doing this Sunday as long as the cable arrives on time. We're also going to eat some Rudy's and have a Photoshoot, don't miss out!
