Why not use Scangauge instead?
It can display MPG, Voltage, RPM, Speed, and also able
to scan and clear fault codes. Costs about USD$150 on ebay.

The ones he is retrofitting can be had on ebay for less than $50 in most cases. For those worried about $ and only want instant mpg feedback this 4 wire solution may be an alternative. There are many DIY people on this site.

I sent him one requesting additional info about JIMS and about when "his"would be released, he has not responded. I was going to dive in when he contacts me back.

I assume that the would be calibration issues with a meter that came out of a car with a different tire/final drive setup. ???
