How about this for an Idea?
How about this for an Idea? I wonder if this has been thought of and if it could actually be done. A really cool GM feature that has been around a long time and still used on certain vehicals is the GM 'heads up display" What if a guru got a hold of one the old units and could reprogram it to be used for different things like a boost gauge or trans temps or airfuel.HOW THE HELL COOL WOULD THAT BE?

Other than the reprogramming, that idea has been discussed several times. There was a thread not too long ago about using an old Oldsmobile HUD and there have been several about the 'Vette HUD. So, it certainly can be done - I just don't know about reprogramming to display other information. The display isn't changeable (i.e. you couldn't change the displayed scale of a gauge) but I suppose you could rig something that would modify the input signal to use a gauge display for a different purpose.
