I just looked on Ebay (I was looking for just the
display module),but all I found was a company selling
retrofit kits with wiring and everything for about
$230.00.
I'd rather buy a good used module with temp sensor for
about 50.00,and figure the wiring out for myself.
I wonder how you can get wiring from the console to
the dash without having exposed wires? Anybody know?
Thanks!
