both mine have green plugs on the back, i take it you mean the plug where the obd2 cable plugs in???

but it does have the hex screws

 

Yep them plugs, thats what i was told but info is very scarce on the ground. I even spoke to the fella Simon who originally designed it but he wasnt very helpful at all. Get the name/spec of your board. I have the name and spec sheet of my board in work which i can cross check for you

 

Sounds like a PITA conversion. I've checked the Noritake website and the next size down is 3mm smaller. Shame they went under. Might have to do some investigation and see what can be done

 

whats better about the new screen anyway?

 

Its not too bad a conversion if you are handy with a soldering iron. Id a local electronics engineer guy remove the lcd board, only to find vfd didnt fit and have to refit the lcd. Was only £20 to do it

The chip pins all line up perfectly but the power pins are slightly out, i always wondered could you some how solder a wire between rather than fixed pins

 

far clearer display and doesnt become unreadible in warm sunny days!

 

It is brighter and much easier to see in bright sunlight - but iirc the monitors were about twice the price with them fitted which is why I bought the LED one. It is a blue screen as well so aesthetically I think they look better...



Wonder how much work it would be to make this one

ahhh i want mine green like the rest of the dash.

 

I don't see why not - bend the pins and add a short wire

 

hmm might have to take another look at it again!

 

If it was me I'd solder in a couple of short wires first and then solder onto the pins afterwards as you'll be short of space under the board otherwise

 

Cheers ill have to try see if i can get a hold of the fella who done the soldering before and see what he can do

 

Thats mine. A version 14 with the later, inverted LCD. I've spoken with Gambit before, and established his screen wouldn't fit, as I also have the same VFD screen knocking about. I can't remember the reasons why, but I have repaired a few PSi3's before, so am no stranger to soldering.

 

Bit heavy on the price that. Somebody on here had the very latest all singing all dancing graphical display version for about the same money. But if your happy, thats all that matters. LEt me know if you need the instructions and settings guides. I can email them over.

 

Hi mate

that would be fantastic i would love a copy if possible please also what did you mean by all singing all dancing graphical display version i thought this was the best one you could get lol have you got any pics or links to where i might see one. thanks again and thanks to everyone for there help. also one last thing i work for an electronics firm i build control panels for the car industry so if anyone needs a hand.

 

Have just sent you the instruction manual mate

 

Looks like someone has sent you the instructions already.

Graphical display version here: https://www.scoobynet.com/subaru-par...ubaru-pod.html

That was the very best, top of the range one. Had a lot more features than the seller advertised, 0-60 times and BHP to name a few. The screen actualy displays graphics and animations, like graphs and moving cars. They maybe features most people would never use, and most likely wouldn't work on the classics anyway.

 

Don't know if he got them ok though, I was reading a print out if them when I saw his post

 

thank you so much mate thats great at least i now know what the abbreviations mean lol although there is just one more thing does anyone have the wiring diagram for the pins pretty please?
