I would like to do is create a system that interfaces to some part of my '04 HCH so I can read the current value of the MPG display and display it on a large (5" x 7") L.E.D. dot-matrix numeric display which will be facing out of my rear windshield. I'd like to show off my great MPG rating to all the people that drive past me on the freeway.
Whoa Stephen, if you succeed with this endeavor, you might want to replace your windows with bullet proof glass.

I can just see people shooting at you as they drive by.

Cool idea though.
