I really like the overhead console with the diagnostic lights. It almost has an LCARS type feel and is right at home in the 80s. I kind of like the idea of recreating the entire thing in the same spot with an LCD screen. I had already decided to implement TPMS and of course signals to the ECU will be available for the status of every door and window. For the life of me I can't imagine how they monitored the rear brake linings. Perhaps just a mile counter.

Some of those functions will definitely be on the Nextion screen.

Haha! That wins quote of the day.
It's been a minute since I looked in the CD Cosmo Parts Catalogs so I can't confirm it at this minute, but I would imagine the Brake Wear Indicators are triggered by a contact sensor/switch, similar to an E38. The implementation of the in-car indicators is just a bit more analog, suggesting an early form of what later became known as the TWS Unit (Total Wiring System) found in the JC Cosmo and FD RX-7.

I'll check when I can get a break from this.


Let's face it, this is not the worst thing you've caught me doing...
