A complex vehicle communicating system consisting of a onboard microelectronic miniature computer unit installed in the interior of a vehicle and a light emitting polymer (LEP) display panel unit located on the interior of the vehicle rear window. The Automotive Digital Rear Window Display (ADRWD) panel has a data connection input from the Automotive Digital Rear Window Display Unit onboard computer, and a direct data contact from the vehicle's microelectronic main computer. The vehicle operator who's driving the vehicle controls the ADRWD unit computer. It contains a selection of electronic computerized preprogrammed memory insert chips which displays messages that can be selected by the driver. The driver of the vehicle selects a message and commands the computer to transmit the data to the ADRWD unit array display panel. Commands from the vehicle main computer operate in conjunction with the ADRWD unit in regard to current conventional types of signaling devices now equipped on vehicles. The unit's digital mode selection console allows the viewer to view multiple choices of selections all at once. Each selection is controlled by a group of buttons designated for each field on the unit's digital LCD console mode selection display. When the selection is made, the message becomes highlighted. The selected command is transmitted by electronic circuitry connection to the LEP display panel in the rear of the vehicle by pressing "one" button. To disconnect command, the driver presses the button again wherein the highlighted selection on the ADRWD unit's console and LEP display message disengages.
