Custom Dashboard

 

T

he simplicity of the Ka’s dashboard has a certain appeal; however, it could be improved.  KITS and KITS2: TASP were designed to provide me with rather more information than the standard dashboard.  Whilst this information is probably surplus to requirements, I’m a nerd and therefore I need more information.

Could the original Ford dashboard be modified to include additional information?  Given that KITS2: TASP will introduce various additional pieces of information.  But there are no current plans for a tachometer in Kermit - unless I can integrate it into the dashboard...

This picture shows the Puma dashboard in a Ka!

And this is where the fun begins!

 

 

The OBD-II Route

After much research, the simplest method is to use an OBD-II Scanner.  I may, at some point, use a laptop for OBD-II use.
