tried searching and didnt find much...
i am trying to figure out, or get guidance on using a screen to display boost, rpm, speed, timing,knock,egt, wide band air fuel ratio, various temperatures, and etc on one screen. and then another screen have winamp, and on another perhaps a screen saver. all done on a CFAG320240CFMIT

would this be difficult.
oh, and the different screens would be toggled with say this:

but only using the controls not the small narrow screen.
very custom i know, but easily done?
also, this would need to be interfaced with a computer that stores the mp3's.

also, if the ecm displays could be logged at the push of a button that would be awesome.

i know i am looking to take the cake and eat it too...

You wont be able to get your ECU software to display information on that LCD.
Winamp you can though.

You might be better off buying a car LCD TV (style that gets installed on the back of front seats), and then using a TV out video card in your PC.
