Repurposing the Centre Sun Visor!

[bobkatkat]

After not liking the results from integrating EGT sensor displays into my rear view mirror ( to distracting when using the mirror) I was looking for other places to mount the displays I came up with this idea. It functions great and the sun visor can still be flipped up to move the LEDs out of the line of Vision. I was even able to get the LEDs to dim automatically when the headlights are on. They tilt to the view of the driver. They are wired to the STE-PPD so hopefully I will be able to log the exhaust gas temperatures automatically with a firmware update. I just have to find some red film to overlay as the red is just a bit lighter that the Stock colors.

Wish i would have thought of this before I wasted a mirror. Rod, thanks again for the replacement.

Excellent DIY! I would install my digital compass and a temperature gauge there.

Compass is a great idea. Wish i had thought of it when the car was apart.

Thanks Guys, I will post more DIY images and instructions later tonight or over the weekend. The added bonus of all of this is that I now not only can I see the EGTs now the ECU sees two functioning EGTs. I will be able to code back in the EGTs to have that fail safe again.
