This is really cool. I've thought about using a bicycle computer as a speedometer, but your installation looks way more sophisticated than what I was thinking of. Nice work.
A few questions though:
1) how do you supply the BC with power? A battery could be used but needs to be replaced from time to time and might be hard to get to.
2) how do you control the BC? Buttons on the dashboard?

Powercomes from a little Transformator / powersupply and goes through a 3V Akkupack to the BC .
Powwersupply is from Conrad electronics and give exact 3V without Peaks or fluctuations.
controlled is the BC with 3 Push buttons , that i mounted on the right side of the dash (where the electrical Decklid opener is)
Ill take some Pics.
