Reconfigurable Performance Display

[Christopher Sanchez]

Has anyone used a donor car with the RPD option? Keep or scrap? My donor has this option and could not find any discussions about this topic. It was an option for the T/C coupe, sedans and HHR also I believe. I like the idea of it. a lot of the info is repetitive from the cluster but does have other info such as cam phasing, G force and a questionable hp/tq meter. Thanks for any input, I have yet to start my build, get my 1st and 2nd stages at the end of this month but have been curious.

Keep it, the a-piller cover and wiring. It's a great info display. Did you get a chance to use it? I did, liked it a lot, and plan on installing the one from my donor. If it doesn't find its way into the Goblin, it's likely to bring a decent price when sold online (that's why you keep the a-piller.)

Yea I did use it and really think it could be a nice touch. I am assuming since it was a dealer installed option that there are no additional sensors needed to be transferred over. And I hope I can sell some of my left over parts to help out the cost a bit.

So I have been unable to find much about data wires on t/c cars except for one really helpful post with pics from DF. But I figured I would post some pics of how my wires run with the reconfigurable performance display option. Also if I routed them wrong I am sure somebody can correct it for me..

Into plug at BCM

Data wires coming from ECU...(first pic) it’s appears that the data wires that go into the BCM plug then go to a grey plug in dark brown twisted wires then the OBD plug in the original wire colors.

The data wires in are soldered from the ECU
