Here is my idea of gauge hijacking....


Indeed, there is little value to this feature. Although come to think of it there is little value in 50% of coding mods. But it's still a cool feature I guess.

It must be possible to run a modified KOMBI 'test' routine on startup. I'm gonna look into this side of it as opposite to gauge hijack via OBD.
