Hi, I'm brand new here so I'll probably be asking a lot of questions lol. So I bought my S4 without an instrument cluster because the previous owner stripped the interior and used most of it for another car. I was wondering what the best course of action is for a new cluster. Is it possible to make a simple digital instrument cluster with the stock ECU? I figured if there's an easy way to do it I'd just go that route, though I don't know enough to know for sure. I just know that for cars with OBDII systems (obviously not an fc) it's very easy to make one.

If it's not possible I'm fine with finding a stock instrument cluster, or even an aftermarket one. Honestly I'm just looking for the cheapest option that lets me see what's going on with my car while I drive.

 

Update: I am very dumb. I found the original cluster in a box in the corner in the car and it works great!

 

oh well there you go!

people have done miata clusters, if you search you'd see those.. i haven't seen a tablet in an FC yet, but ive seen those in other cars

 

Yeah, I figured there's a way to do it, don't know how much modification needs to be done.

 

There’s a solution for a tablet in a fc with apexi power fc and a datalog it, but I guess the same can be said for most standalone ecus now a days.

I have downloaded the software years ago and bought a tablet but got over the project.
