I have these in a dual setup on my a-pillar. they are nice guages, however, i feel like they almost do too much. sometimes its trying with my patience to navigate around them.
When you turn your gauge on the highest DIM setting (brightest) does it give off a really low wining sound? I leave mine on 2 because of that, still extremely bright.
As far as the accuracy of the 1/4. I dont think its accurate. Said my bolt-on v6 wen 13.81 LOL. Also said I had like 250hp 500 ft/lbs of torque hahah. There is a way to adjust the performance reading and the HP/TQ number outputs, just not sure how to do it.
I have my gauge on cycle scan right now. It monitors 8 or 6 things I believe, just cycles through them. So if your not sure on purchasing the dual, you can always do that with the single.
LOL. I'm not sure, I'll have to give the 1/4 a try and get back to you guys. I beat the living f%*k out of my car last week 'cause of this damn gauge LOL. I also haven't messed with the dim yet, I didn't know you could make it BRIGHTER than what it was, but I'll check

Sucks for my because since i live in NYS, New Era had to charge me tax; none the less, its still the cheapest out of every other sponsor and non-sponsor.
Good now when do we take pics together dammit.

Do you have to set it up somehow for performance mine kept telling me I was doing 0-60 around 7 secs 6.8 I think was best, mentioned this before though! must be my vtec swap.

Nothing friday or Saturday. Sunday I'll be at Jones Beach for the annual Vision walk. I think you know about that whole eye thing I have lol.
I bought one for my old w-body in 2006. It still works great and I mounted it in the A/C vent in the Trans Am with an adapter from Speed Inc. The shift light leds are great. I want to send mine in and get the software updated so I can get some more features like adjustable parameter warnings and the ability to scan longer. My only complaint is that if sits in direct sunlight and gets too hot the LCD screen gets very dim until it cools off.

did any of you run the 12v wire? my gauge wont start up automatically when i start my car. however, if i unplug the obd2 connector and plug it back in, it will then start.

Your car is a 98 like mine. You will have to remove the little red jumper from the back and you will have to run the switched 12v wire.

I've been planning on getting one either for christmas or shortly there after. My only deal is to decide were I want to put it. I'm leaning towards a single a-pillar pod since I shouldn't really need any othere gauges after I have this one.

just finished installing my dual unit yet. i had to run the 12v line on my 1998 T/A; i thought it was going to be a bitch but it turned out real easy; bought an add-a-circuit at autozone and plugged it directly into the fuse box.
the gauges are nice. got the top unit showing coolant temp and rpm (with shift light annuciator) and the bottom is setup for cyclic scan for a whole bunch of parameters.
