I opted to the 12.3" Pro Dash model. It comes with with all the analog and digital inputs you need to display all parameters you would expect.

Work is underway:
There are basically five separate connectors on the DD-EFI dash: Power, CAN-Bus, USB cable (b/w ECU and dash), Analog In and Digital In, . There is also a GPS for speedometer and odometer. For the power you need:

- 12V switched
- 12V dimmed
- Ground
