Default RIP trip computer

The trip computer in my ED is no more. BBM and EL ecu took precedence
Does anyone know how far away a fix for the EECV EB/ED trip computer is?

i bought a trip computer for my EF and it's not as easy as plugging it in.

it's fits in perfectly but you have to run extra wires and i still can't get the signal wire to work for fuel/speed reading
