BAC5.2 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I wonder what the coding looks like for the startup display on the SI drive console. Clearly, there are multiple colors available (well, two... amber and 'white') I wonder if there were some way to reprogram the LCD to do something other than the startup-throttle-graph animation. I'd rather it start up with "SUBARU" like the radio, or something different like "Good Morning [Name]" Anyone care to explore the possibilities of what controls the starup proceedure for the gauge cluster? It's possible it's just a chip that we could read, reflash, then reinstall.

Code Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 That'd be fun. Mine would say something like "Oooo...that feels nice" "Striving to better, oft we mar what's well." - Bill Shakespeare - car modder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hmm, looking at the factory service manual, there IS a standalone mini-computer (subaru calls it a Micro Computer) that controls the entire information display center. That controller, apparently, contains an LCD driver. I wonder if that micro computer has its own part number... I also wonder how much it would cost... and what's on the inside.. I bet a jig could be built to reflash the LCD driver, and replace the opening sequence with something else.

BAC5.2 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Bummer, no luck finding much info so far. I really wanted a "wait to start" screen instead of the TPS sweep.
