Fitting a Tacho with computer
Hi all,
assuming you have all the relevant parts required(sensors etc) whats involved in replacing your tacho with the computer display type. Has anyone done this to their car. I like gadgets
Thanks Gary.
PS Adrian if your read this, how's your book coming on?

Dear Gary,
Very expensive and requires a fairly major change in wiring affecting other systems. The best advice I can give is to not bother. UK RHD models are also a little different and this may also cause further problems.
Really is not worth it,
Ciao,

I have the computer in my C2. The bloody thing is calibrated in km/h and l/100 km (instead of mph and mpg)which is a pain, but if it wasn't there I wouln't miss it. Your speedo tells you how fast you're going and you can work out your mpg easily enough and average speed is info that noone really needs.
Spend the money better brakes or tyres!!
Speaking of tachos etc, why the hell didn't they put the tiptronic gear indicator in the tacho insead of the bloody speed?? My only slight complaint about the entire 964 experience!
