Exclamation Gauges install

Was looking for gauges and about to buy 4 of these:






but after thinking it over I gave the OBDII plug (Konnwei KW902 new hardware 2.1 )and Torque Pro (you get that for free on a cd in the package) a change




result is cool, right what you need to lookup intake temp, boost ect




they did not show gearbox temp as active in torque pro but you can add custom PID's so i'll find them and post them here

really cool

The only problem we have in our cars is having to look so far down for the sat nav and other stuff.

You're the man for these things...do you think it would be possible to install a touch screen higher up above the centre air vents? One which is directly linked to the (Chinese) head unit and will mimic the control you have with the screen on the hu.

in that case get a tablet with adroid, that you can configure to wake up on AC, put Torque Pro on that and there you go
all sizes avaible
place it anywhere

nvidia shield is very fast

just to understand, I placed it there because I only use it for checks
once you know your temps and boosts are fine you don't really need it in your face
and as you said, you need the GPS Navi
