I will do a custom install tablet PC, where the gauge cluster is located. I think a 7" or 10" pad will work great. I will use a mounting dock, and permanently install so only the screen will be seen, and will have constant power supply. I will use a larger tablet PC for the center console infotainment.

I just found a wireless Heads Up Display HUD with TPM tire pressure monitor on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-OBD-2-II-HUD-Head-Up-Display-Wireless-Tire-Pressure-Monitoring-System-/251341747145?pt=US_Car_Alarms_Security_Systems&hash=item3a8522b3c9#ht_4541wt_954

I have been doing a lot research for an LCD gauge cluster and infotainment system. I have the solution for an inexpensive custom high tech gauge cluster, and infotainment. There are many blue tooth enabled OBD2 scan tool ALDL interfaces. I am going to use a tablet pc for my gauges, there are many window and android apps available to customize a dash cluster with real time data, via your blue tooth aldl interface. ( link)

Infotainment system you create is only limited on your imagination. A wifi and 3g enabled tablet will give you all the internet aps, and access you will ever need.
