Dakota dash is working fully, I'm really impressed with it, it all seems to work out the box, I've even set up the GPS speed signal to get the speedo working & integrated the transmission. The fact all the signals needed are in the loom to the standard cluster is a big bonus, it can display all temps and the EML is working and is fully programmable to show almost anything and in any order. Obviously still got to get it on the road but up to now it's been plain sailing.

EDIT - Was not all simple setting the fuel gauge was a hassle.

A bonus is that there are programmable messages so we can take some of the LR signals and display them as messages in the central LCD display.

The lighting scheme is also fully programmable you'll notice however I've opted for safe green but the red white and blue settings are awesome but a bit too funky (says the guy with the bright orange Defender)

My next task is to get the paddle shifts working, going to re machine the optimil boss to accept a slip ring, the only unknown is how I'm going to be able to disconnect the wires from the boss for steering wheel removal, but one thing at a time.

I've also sorted the mounting of the Ibus unit, but more pics of that soon as the bracket has been powder coated. Also had the opportunity to revisit the fixing of the cubby box and hopefully it now fits
