I hope this is on-topic (and not too stupid a question)...
Doing a resto on an older car with an LS engine conversion, so it will have an E38 ECU but no BCM. However the speedo I want to use has no odometer so I was wondering if the DIC from a VE cluster can:
a) be easily removed from the cluster, or is it surface-mounted to a common PCB
and b) be made to work as a stand-alone LCD display?
The schematics look simple enough...
...just power, ground and the high speed LAN with the ECU. I'm hoping this should give me an odometer and (with any luck) trip computer functions?
Is this doable without a degree in electrical engineering? Or is there some after-market solution already available?
