The RPD has a harness that can be unplugged from the vehicle harness and RPD. I removed the housing the RPD is in to replace it with the storage compartment on earlier models. My RPD is now mounted on a sliding rail so it and the Dashdaq move up and down, and once I finish the linear actuator install it will be remotely controlled.

That is sweet looking. How much to buy the RFD? Is it installable by your average person?

I've heard it can be done, but I know nothing about it. Mine came with the car. I added the stock boost gauge and DashDaq.

Anyway you can write up how to add the stock boost guage if you already have the RPD? The whole system you have looks pretty badass.

To add the stock boost gauge to a car equipped with the RPD

1. Obtain stock gauge
2. plug it into the wiring harness that is under the A pillar cover

The issues are whether your car has the wiring harness and finding or fabbing an A pillar cover for the gauge. For 2009 both the RPD and the pillar gauge were offered, but if I remember correctly, 2010 was just the RPD so the wiring harness may not be there. When I was looking into this, GM wouldn't sell just the A pillar cover for the gauge and I didn't want to pay 360$ for it. I ended up modifying a spare cover (after totally effing up my original one)

Yes, I've read that. I guess I meant to say a seperate and more informative manual. With all the functions it can monitor, I would think it might do even more. I was expecting a little more than "push this button,change this color". Just my 2cents.
