whats needed for trip/fuel computer...

[phoenixrage]

what would be needed to get the 07/08 screen to work in an 05? I really would like to have the fuel consumption info.

i woudl assume the screen and maybe some brain unit would be needed? or is it run directly off the ECU in the newer 3's ?

nope.. only for 06 and up they can be.. but not 05's...

which is why i ask, do i just need to grab the screen from the newer 3's ? (since im planning on swapping to an aftermarket deck anyways). or is there a secondary brain unit to connect to the ECU? or however mazda has it working ?
