Here is a very crude mockup of what it would look like inside the gauge cluster. This would only work for manual transmission vehicles, as that position in the lower half of the tachometer is taken up by the gear selector indicator (PRND321) with the Tiptronic (automatic) cars.
If it is not an option to mount the gauge within the instrument cluster, a small custom enclosure could be mounted on the fixed portion of the steering column which would place the screen right between the speedo/tach, and which would more easily facilitate multiple "buttons" to manage the interface. I think this would look a little more "tacked on", but it would make it much more accessible to people as not everyone wants to cut a hole in their tachometer. Those things are $900+ to replace.
