LOVE IT!

I purchased it on a Group buy and have loved every minute of it!

It works just as is stated, and I love that I didn't need alot of gauges filling my interior for the basics. Also, the trip gauge and fuel economy mode was very accurate once adjusted.

I have it in the little cubby on top of the dash with the wire running between the dash top and dash.

This is a nifty little device and I see the newer ones have more capabilities such as displaying transmission temperature and horsepower.

I"m wondering if it could be programmed to display oil pressure... anyone know?

Also, could you measure yours. There site doesn't list any dimensions. I think It would be cool to mount it in one of the many openings in the center console. Or even on top by the "no slip" tray.

It doesn't measure oil pressure because the computer doesn't measure exact oil pressure.

I believe the computer only cares that the oil pressure is about a preset value.

My thoughts exactly... I'll be picking one up sometime real soon now then get a standalone oil pressure gauge.

Of all the vital measurements that should be monitored on an engine I don't understand for the life of me why the auto manufacturers only provide oil idiot lights in the vast majority of vehicles.

Believe it or not... that damn oil light comes on below 4psi. Friggin ridiculous, I know.

Does this gauge plug into the OBD port or something??

Ah I see. In that case, my Snap-On MT2500 does the trick.
