good information, interesting concept, a few questions come to mind,
1) where can i get a LCD like yours that shows MPG, trip, etc ... mine only shows temp/ direction, is there a model number?
2) how can we determine what kinda data is on these lines, and how can we read it? such as the "(9)yellow 15- Trip computer/nav class 2 serial data link" and the "(3)dark green w/ white stripe 9-VSS (Vehicle Speed Signal)" b/c i can see many different uses for such data IF it is serial or TTL.

if the data IS in some form of serial, i would more then likely want to create a second LCD powered by a micro-controller to show new things all at once and other information such as current speed, it could tie into my current micro-controller project
