FD OLED odometer screen Replacement
Just an update to this thread i sold out of the original boards but im currently working on a rev 2 board with the manufacturer. Still no good options for native amber screens.

Also my bad for not keeping this updated more. I'm very steady busy installing these for customers. I've implemented the boost gauge fully at that point and developed another product that modifies the tachometer to accept aftermarket gauge faces and LED backlighting readily and easily. Here is a customers cluster as a taste. I'm personally a huge fan of the white odo.

I'll be in for an order once my car arrives. I see in that first video the Speedo is KMH and the display read MPH. Is this an option that needs to be specified or can you switch between the two? I will have a KMH Speedo but would want the digital to display MPH
The benefit with the display is you can set the units to be metric or imperial. So it will display miles or kilometers and you can use the factory reset stick to select on a short push and then you can hold down the reset stick for 3 seconds to reset the trip now. So the reset stick becomes multi function.
A photo from a guy i did a cluster conversion for with the OLED odometer and some new gauge faces. Almost a perfect shot except the camera caught a OLED refresh sweep lol (cant see this with the naked eye)

Hey Everyone! A lot of you know I have been repairing Odometer screens on the FD for quite a while and have repaired around 300 of them for people so far. I currently schedule out about 5 a week just due to capacity reasons as my main line of work keeps me pretty busy. I did the original development on this by reverse engineering the board circuitry for a larger manufacturer, and Found most of the issues with the screen at this point. Still there have been some boards where the onboard processor has dies and cannot at this point be replaced. So I set out for an alternate solution And came up with the idea for replacing the process or and screen altogether with a much more updated version:
Behold! the Oled odometer screen which opens the door to many new possibilities including a digital read out of the odometer in both metric and imperial units AND a digital readout for Speed! Longer term will also include readouts for boost, and other features including a can bus input option for those with aftermarket ECUs. I am approaching the project in phases. Phase 1 will include just a drop in replacement for the odometer screen retaining your mileage with a digital speed readout as well. I am 90% complete on this phase already. The various screens will be toggled through using the factory trip reset stick and a 3 second hold of the reset stick will reset the trip. I hope to be installing these towards the end of summer. Phase 2 will include the can bus option. phase 3 will likely be a complete drop in replacement for the speedo board to a digital speedo unit!
Below are some pictures as to where i stand so far. The programming for phase 1 is complete and just needs to be compiled for the correct processor. From there i will just need to perform longer term testing to workout any obvious bugs in the firmware.
