--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i have the old 6 button computer which only gives time,date, and temperature outside.can i retrofit the 13 button computer that gives mpg and and average speed.can i just buy it and switch it for the one i have.does it just plug in and can it use the same place and will it fit. just wanted to know?would all i need to fit it would be the actual computer nothing else? thanks

here is a pic of the new computer i want to put on:



do i also need the on board computer module that goes with this specific type of computer? this 13 buton display will not work with my 6 button obc module. is that correct?

explains how to do it. i t says if the car you have has an ambient temperature sensor than it should work.mine has one.so the retrofit should work.come on now

You will also need the wiring loom to get it to work, it has a totally different connector, you don't need the large black relay box, this is for the code function which is totally useless.

Other options to have would be the remote indicator stalk enabling you to flick through the functions from the stalk.

You will already have the temp sensor and gong so won't be needing these.
