Fuel level comes from OEM wire into RacePak universal unit and then I calibrate based on voltage vs. real level -- got it pretty darn close. I don't tap into the OEM CanBus at all (level comes direct from wire coming out of the fuel pump cubby area). IQ3 actually has a CanBus and I can tap into OEM analog or digital signals (CanBus).

Radio/Nav was up just because I was listening to music while setting up the dash configuration via my laptop. You can't see in the pic, but there is a RS232 cable in the dash tray that plugs into my laptop and from there I can load the RackPak software and configure the dash. Can also be done using the 2 buttons I added on the side near fuel/trip mile reset, but using the software via laptop is A LOT easier. If you notice a small slot between the RPM shift lights, this is a Secure digital Memory card that is used to log all sensors and lap times etc. -- I currently have a 512MB SD card, but you can use upto 2GB card. RacePak software will also do all the analysis stuff (track maps, segments, etc. etc. etc.). It also has a nice export to TrackVision data for video overlays (I'll demo that later on).
