Look up the list of fault codes & work back what sensors would need to be disconnected / shorted to emulate a fault.

Hi
Would you consider making / producing and selling these Digital Gauges sure there would be lots of buyers.
Looks really good .

Hi Joe, just been reading your original posting and saw your Pioneer DAB stereo system. I've just bought one of these and fitted it. However on fitting mine I found it does not go right back into the dashboard due to the 'fins' on the back. This means it is not secure and can just be taken out. The fins are obstructed by a metal bar on the back of the bulkhead. Did you have this problem and if so how did you get round it. The radio works fine and I love it but just want to make sure it doesn't get nicked.
Thanks, Roy.

Mine was very tight - I could get one side to lock in but not the other. Eventually I managed to slam it hard enough to clip into place. I'm sure I've read on here of others cutting that piece of metal off to allow bigger stereos to fit in, but wouldn't like to attempt that!

Joe thanks for that. Looks like I'll have to try a bit of brute force to get it in a bit further. Like you, I wouldn't fancy cutting through that bar. Looks quite sturdy and is obviously there for a reason. I'll let you know how I get on.
