Bought the housing. Haven't decided how I want to do signals. I can add them to the display itself or I can drill the housing and mount some like below
i think having some of the indicators as actual bulbs in the blank space would look pretty slick.
It's easier too since I'd have to add more inputs for the can system.
I have to do the programming to have them show on the screen and I'd need to feed in the signal so that it all works.
Aesthetics. It's entirely my personal taste, but I'd rather spread out the information that comes from a simple electrical circuit and save the display for stuff that comes from a data bus.
Also, cramming everything on the cluster into a 5" screen makes it a lot harder to interpret at a glance.
Same concept as adjusting the factory radio v. trying to find and adjust the radio function in a modern touchscreen head unit.
One benefit is that you can make different screens for what you want to see. Out on the trail you don't need to see turn signals.
On the road, I don't need to see diff lock status or GPS info.
Here's some examples I pulled from the software.
