The heads up on it's own will only display speed and revs, but can be connected to a Defi Link to display attached sensor readings.

Found a useful site:

Defi-Link Display VSD CONCEPT - eGauges.com

The worse part would be to find the speedo and rev wires which would mean taking out the dash clocks or finding the colour codes for the wires from the ECU
