That's cool.

Cool. Expensive. No Canadian version.

It's really not that expensive when you look into how much custom gauges are. Plus CarID sells them for $315. Something we dummy-dash guys would like

Anybody with a late year 1996 or newer XJ can have a digital dash for $75. Especially useful if you have a dummy dash (like me).

Buy a $20 BAFX OBD2 Bluetooth adapter and a $49 7-inch android tablet from walmart. And the $5 Torque Pro app from the google play store.

With this combo I have a full time digital dash that comes on when I start the vehicle and displays custom gauges for (in my case) engine rpm, coolant temperature, O2 sensor voltages, short/long term fuel trims, intake air temperature, throttle position, intake air pressure, intake vacuum, open/close loop status, engine load percent, speed, timing advance.

So for example, if my upstream O2 sensor was to begin failing, I would see it instantly. I would know about it before an engine code was thrown. Though my digital dash can pull the engine codes as well, and reset them.

Spend a little more on the tablet, and also have GPS, compass, and mapping. The digital dash is usually mounted in the perfect position to also be a map console for directions, camping, exploring, etc.

I run this in my Metro. In my XJ, I have an Ultra-guage, and it does the same thing. Either is way more useful and way cheaper than this $400 cluster that looks like it was designed to look like what someone in the 80's thought the future would be like.

I like those who can think outside the box!





And many more optional themes.

Lol. That can't be true. I -wish- my significant other would pay attention to the gauges. Instead I get the "Hey, you might want to check on the van, its been running kinda funny for the last 3 months....".

True dat.
I feel my responsibility is to be actually driving the vehicle 100% of the time when behind the wheel and not playing with the latest "technology".

jordan96xj

How about we compromise at actually driving the vehicle 98% of the time, and 2% devoted to monitoring engine coolant temperature.

Joking aside, I drive like a pilot. I don't take it for granted. I won't tolerate distractions, never answer phones, and I actually visually inspect my Jeep before and after every drive.

Here is mine:

here’s mine. what you can’t see is the oil pressure spiked at 80 bc the sending unit died months ago. 80 psi all the time - good to go.

Or my ex hey this light has been on my car since i bought it.It was the oil light,And she couldn't understand why it needed a engine 6 months later.
