Default Custom overhead display?

I'd like to put in a custom display up above, where it currently shows the temp and compass. Anybody ever seen or have one? I know some came with the "DIC" which displayed stuff like mpg, average speed, etc. but I'd like to get one that can display stuff like trans temp, tach, etc.

I haven't done it yet , but I got all the required parts to do it from the wreckers, I grabbed the display and the harness that goes from the overhead down the pillar and behind the dash ...may be a bit of work to get at the plug.

Did you get the standard DIC from the wreckers or did you find something custom?

I got the deluxe factory unit with mpg and stuff...Do you plan on making your own circuit to display trans and stuff or do you know of something that has it ? .It should be possible to read anything that an obdII reader see's but I'm curious about what digital circuit can be used.
