On Board Computer

[dvmotorsports]

Without taking all that shit apart, can someone tell me wether I can upgrade my on board computer?

Is it plug and play? Or do I need to add wires for all the extra buttons?

I have the basic 8 button? unit. And I want to upgrade to the big boy with all the buttons.

You need to add wiring and sensors I think the dealers do a retro-fit kit but at what price I don’t know, If you do buy it make sure they print the fitting instructions as they normally don’t come with it.

yeah there's a diy out there and the guy says this is super hard and you can fuck up your whole car, i don't think it's worth it, and it's by far not plug and play

If you have a friend that is really good with wires, it is not that hard of a deal. However, if you are not good with wiring schematics or diagrams, then definately steer clear. I think even most mechanics would steer clear of it. I've been considering still doing it, but for most of the year I can not have my car out of commision for a few days to do it.

i'm wondering this as well, what are the extra features and hidden features?

the little ones are called time and temp... because that is all they show. the 6button has F/C temp, Time, Date and Memo. That's it.
