New just released from TRD, info below from TRD dealer bulletin

TRD Recording Sequential Shift Light Kit, designed and developed by the same engineers who powered Toyota’s 2003 winning Indy 500 race car.

Designed for use with all manual transmission Scion vehicles, the kit features a racing-style shift light with 6 blue ultra-bright LEDs that light sequentially then flash in unison at the shift point. The Shift Light Kit also:

Includes a billet aluminum display housing with an engraved TRD logo
Records and plays back up to 45 seconds of RPM and air fuel data
Monitors rich and lean conditions with the press of a button

The TRD Recording Sequential Shift Light Kit comes complete with light, mounting bracket, control unit, instructions and all required wiring. The control unit is engineered to allow the light to be upgraded to monitor other functions or control other in-vehicle light systems.

These pic's are from the install directions and do not include pic's with the billet aluminum display housing installed . Better pics soon

 

I was excited until I saw it cost $300.

 

That and it is completely worthless. Air/fuel data from the stock narrowband O2 sensor will tell you exactly nothing. It is nothing more than a bunch of blinky lights that will distract the driver.

 

Is this the "electronic dash" thing that TRD was rumored to show at SEMA? If so, it's not nearly as cool as I expected.

 

I wish I had more hands...


So I can give that Shift Light 4 thumbs down! Now hold my drink...

 

I saw it in philly and thought it looked pretty nice looking in person, the pics make it look cheap and flimsy, but it is nice hard plastic and seemed pretty easy to install

 

wow scion IS trying to make some money off of the young crew.. selling ____s like these... I bit on the sway bar and i'm not too fond of it

 

It does look like a decent part, but it's hard to justify spending $300 when you can get a JDM Pivot Sequential Shift Light for $100

This does almost the exact same thing.

 

Untrue. There are a few groups (DSM crowd for example) that do ballpark tuning from the stock O2 sensor. From my own experience, the narrowband readout DOES match a wideband, it just doesn't respond fast enough to lean or rich spikes if they come up.

It's a shame that they're all blue LEDs. It would be infinately more useful if there were three or more colors so you knew when the shift point was coming up (like green yellow red).

Yeah, I like the ones like this:

 

WHY? you cant tell when you need to shift? you need stupid blinkin lights to tell you that ?

 

I got yelled at for saying this same thing before. Because people just think it is cool.

 

What other functions are there for such a setup to detect?

Also, how for those with more experience with these things, how do they work? Does it just tell you to shift when you reach a specific predefined rpm? Won't a generic shift point indicator, ie from Razo or the JDM thing mentioned earlier, do the exact some thing?
