Here are the pics..
I did it to look for a way to add a switch so I can switch the display on and off.

Well,
Did you find a place for the switch?

 

nah, the display is built by Futaba Corp. Apex just gets the displays from them and connects their board to it, I dont' think they even know how, I will need to call Futaba and ask them. By looking at the board it looks as I will need to tap into the board, I was thinking along the lines of tapping into a wire. I'll post what I find out. Whenever I do

 

Good luck

 

send it to me, i'll put a switch in it

 

you know something I don't, like where the display power lead is?

 

why would u want to switch the display on and off?

it looks bomb on!

 

I want to embed it under the tachometer, but would not like it to be really obvoius.

 

Can the display be removed from the PC board?

 

No the actual display is soldered onto the board.

 

that would be cool to have like a smaller remote display and put the 'guts' of it somewhere else, would make mounting a bit cooler.

 

If you haven't already seen this installation, you have to check it out. Mounted in Driver's side Sun Visor. Totally concealed, Looks great! AWESOME IDEA! I'm thinking about doing it. <A HREF="https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?&id=127459

that looks tight.

 

Bummer. That would open up a bunch of possibilities...

 

if you wanted to risk it, you could disconnect the display and solder wires to it and do the same to the other end, that way you could put the display anywhere. Very tedious.
