I've done some research on how to build a digital LED display.
I think the idea is really good.

My first question is whether I can apply 5V to a second MAP sensor that is currently located at the intercooler and is not being used, and then read the values from it?
I would prefer to do this using this method, as the second MAP sensor is already faulty in my car, and I don't want to interfere with the engine control unit's settings.

My second question is whether I could use an MFA display from a GTI (2nd generation) for visualization. This might allow for the integration of other functions, such as oil temperature and outside temperature.
"The advantage would be that you could immediately install the cheaper sensors from the GTI 2.0. Switching between settings could potentially be done with a button next to the display."

I think integrating the LD (likely referring to a specific display feature) might be more difficult, but the other functions should be relatively easy to implement, or am I mistaken? A complete MFA (Multi-Function Display) originally from a 4-series model is a bit too expensive for me, and as far as I know, it also lacks the oil temperature display.

Best regards,

The whole idea was abandoned after browsing the forum, as it's clear there's a simpler solution, like disassembling a Golf 2 instrument cluster.

I once read something here: https://community.dieselschrauber.org/en/viewtopic.php?t=4500
and I had to dust off my old knowledge of control engineering.

Great forum, finally some competent guides and not just talk about aluminum rims and roof edge spoilers. I might even grow old here icon_biggrin.gif.

Best regards,
