Price for these should be around £70 - thats less than half the price of the m-tech unit (sold in the uk by PVD). I'm actually Dom off Migweb - the guy who's designing these so feel free to ask any questions

Nice one Dom

Ill be interested in this, although one question, would it be possible to drive other LCD units? Can the mirco control other LCD's? or is it just for segment jobbies? Just that the corsa B MFDs are pretty naff and if i replaced it with a 2 liner job (tight space i know

) would i be able to get it going? or would it take further programming to get something going?

Looks very impressive though mate, hats of to you for doing this in your own time etc

Keep it up mate

0-60 + 1/4 mile times, if accurate, would be ace!

There will be a version that will come with a standalone LCD display - this unit will fit in just about any car - its just with the MFD and TID in the Corsas/Astras it makes it a bit easier for me to get it on the market

Which is why I've designed in the extra two temp sender inputs. They are good for -20 degrees C to +100 Degrees C

I'm having a play with the speedo input circuitry at the moment. It currently uses the speed pulse present in most corsas and astras that go to the back of the TID/MFD but the problem with this is that any wheelspin will affect the 1/4 mile times. The 0-60 time isnt affected unless you wheelspin all the way to 60mph

I'm trying to work on a "universal" input that will also take pulses from abs sensors so rear wheels can be used for the speed input on FWD cars.
