For those Electronics Wizards....

[tkomljan@mobility.com (Komljanec, Tony)]

I have a number of electronic gadgets that I run from my 1993 100QCS.... 
VHF/UHF two way radios, hand's free cellular,  Koolatron cooler (camping 
trips), and I'd still like to add GPS!

It would be really great if I could make use of the little LCD display in 
the dashboard.  The radio (Audi/Bose) sends radio station data to the car's 
computer via a serial clock/data connection.  Before I start analyzing this 
connection with a 'scope to figure our bit rate, sychronization, etc, is 
there anyone out there who has experience or btdt?  In the least, I'd like 
to display car voltage/amps info.  A PIC processor chip can be programmed 
for the interface.

Alternatively, an aftermarket VOLT/AMP guage to replace one of the two 
temperature guages would also work, if it isn't next to impossible to 
replace.  Is there such a combined guage?

Other reverse engineering in progress... analyzing the infra red central 
locking system to see if it is easy to duplicate, and look for other 
imbedded functions ......add a strobe to the vacant right side rear fog 
light, so that people one is trying to signal don't think that a brake light 
bulb is burn't out.....
