Couple of things I would like to upgrade on my 2011 i30. I'm looking for advice on cost, what the exact hardware requirements are. Whether I could do the work myself (I'm pretty handy sometimes).

I would love to have bluetooth connectivity preferably with both calls and music player.

I have also seen a couple of pictures of an electronic rev counter and speedo with the electronic fuel and temperature gauge. Is this restricted to the later model at all.

Cheers

Rather than fiddle with electronic speedos, etc, why not purchase a HUD unit. Will display that and more on your screen and a lot easier to use. :idea:

I just perused HUD apps at GooglePlay and there are tons of free ones you could use, either on your mobile phone or perhaps consider an older cheap/free phone no longer in normal use, dedicated to the function. I'm sure you could pick the right app for your needs, including bluetooth tether to a diagnostic dongle for a live sexy/wanky racemode data feed. :lol:

Yeah, I downloaded DigiHUD when I posted that and ran it tonight on my 10.1 Galaxy Note in HUD mode by laying it against the windscreen on the dash space above the instrument cluster and it was really cool. Felt like I was driving a 007 car. If I install one with voice prompts I'll change Firty's name to KITT. :lol:
