It's now possible to run aftermarket with a canbus bridge to drive the OE instruments.
But that's a while away.
Just leave the OEM ecu in place to drive all instruments, and wire the standalone in t take control of the features you want it to

What are you going to do with the gearing? I heard the Aston gear ratios weren't much of a success?

The focus initially is on the engine and engine management so, nothing.

Have you sold the old kit to GSD or Arnie yet? hehe

If what I've heard is correct, it's a bargain. yes
