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.

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.
