I know someone said you couldn't fit the mph rev counter screen, but anyone had any luck or heard about switching the audio system screen?

I think that could be a whole big can of worms to try.

I'm kind of hoping that these LCD instrument displays will allow people to completely change the look of the instruments with a bit of programming.
That way one day I could have a Mk 1 Escort 6 dial dash complete with wood veneer trim and then another I could have the Smiths Instruments used in an E-type and then maybe an Astra 16 valve GTE digital dash - would definitely improve any daily commute!

I wouldn't hold your breath. The system has proven quite a tough nut to crack so far... and thats before you start trying to change anything without bricking it.
