Geoff, from what I've read about a few people trying this, the display isn't capable of displaying info other than its intended purpose. They tried upgrading software for the display but with no luck.

Not True. It can be done. The following thread is by someone who has upgraded the headunit in a SV6 using one from a Calais wreck. If you have a look at the photo's he has been able to do exactly what the OP is asking.

I may have misunderstood the OP's question, but he asked about the upper display, which is showing oil pressure and battery voltage. He wants to know how to display other info here. You've linked a thread that shows a stereo upgrade, which shows an upper display showing oil pressure and battery voltage, which the OP already has.

If look closely, it's not a proper LCD display - it's just some cut-out with red lights behind it . that's why it looks pants and can't be used for anything useful.

Yep but at a cost. You have to buy the whole centre console trim and replace the lot from what I've seen. A good auto sparkie should be able to install. Pretty sure it wires strait in but the sparkie can confirm.
