This is what mine looks like.


Since I have the auto climate control, the outside temp display is on the HVAC, not the overhead. It only has a compass display (which I have turned off).
I don't want or need temp display overhead, I would like the MPG/MTE info.

Yes first step is just to get a navi or exp with the MGP/Trip display. The module itself has processors in it that runs the loop/simple algorithm that gives all the info. I will post up the connector info in a few. The only part you need is the module as 03 has said.

I'm guessing you would just need the appropriate data wires for the unit then. I'd suppose at least the VSS, but I'm sure there's more.

Cool.
Probably will end up being another thing I want to do that never get around to.

I'd like to try it this coming weekend. If I can get factory nav working, this'll be cake.

Can anyone post a pic of their OEM connector (the black one going to the display) to make sure they are the same, just lacking inputs.

I don't have my truck with me, so I cannot double check.

If no one pulls one tonight, I'll get it to you tomorrow. It's dark outside, pouring rain, and thunder is abundant.
