    Hello Everyone,

    I am new to the forum and a new Tacoma owner so excuse the lack of knowledge on my end. I was wondering if it was possible to install new apps or operating system into the current display without replacing anything.

    I was also wondering if anyone has tried to add an average MPG calculator/miles left in tank to the screen vs adding another one for this information. I havent owned my truck that long so im trying not to do physical damage to it.

    Thanks for any help or advice

    Ya not sure how to do that. Hopefully some else chimes in here. It would be cool if it is possible.

    if i have to do a separate screen i was going to use a Bluetooth OBD2 Scan tool and Torque Pro app for the phone. That way it isn't any extra stuff and it also saves about $125

    Saves 125? A ultra gauge is only 60
