well the harness that goes to the boost gauge will not support the display, there may be some sort of inline wiring possible to hook it somewhere else to go to the display though

I dont think you will get AFR since there isn't a wideband

Not only would I buy one, but I did. Here's hoping they aren't that expensive. BTW, my dealer showed me small pics liek the ones on the slides above to describe it to me. So it must look pretty similar to the video.

It's in dash in the HHR above the radio. I believe there's a DIC there in previous models. It replaces it.

Only update I have is that I got an email from my salesman that they got a memo concerning the gage.

When I went in what he had was a memo from corporate that listed the feature for the '09 models. This was confirmed in the '09 Press Release posted on this board. The memo contained images of the actual contents of the display, not the display itself. The images on the memo were, ironically, the same images they had of the gage's screen from earlier in this thread.

They were literally six different mock ups of the display, so I'm going to say that the video and images in this thread are totally legit, and probably represent the final product pretty well. I just hope it doesn't look so aftermarket-y in the final car. But I can't complain: it'll record 0-60 times for you and measure g-forces. Which is cool.
