Abstract:
Universal combination meters, methods for customizing a universal combination meter, and electronic dashboards are disclosed. A universal combination meter may include a processing device and a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium. The non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium may include one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to monitor one or more data transmissions between a manufacturing computer and a vehicle, determine at least one of a model and a body type of the vehicle from information in the data transmissions, retrieve at least one of an image, vehicle-specific features, and vehicle-specific information from a repository, and load the at least one of the image, the vehicle-specific features, and the vehicle-specific information for displaying. The at least one of the image, vehicle-specific features, and vehicle-specific information correspond to the at least one of the model and the body type of the vehicle.
