I was thinking of getting the whole A-pillar with the dual pods molded into it, but I didnt want two gauges on my A-pillar. It makes me think rice because every ricer has at least two gauges there.
I took my time with making sure the holes were drilled perfectly and it made for a snug fit.

I got my gauge back from AeroForce. It doesn't power up with just the OBDII plugged in, I definately need to run the seperate wire to a 12v source. When did you buy yours?

I will be calling Todd back to double check on how that really works.

Thats weird i dint have to adjust the hp on mine, I selected the hp perameter and made a 3rd gear pull and had it on record at the same time. when i went to replay it went up to 356hp, i donno how accurate that is tho? i only had a baseline dyno done, but im sure it only will tell you flywheel hp. On the highway with cruise at 75 my mph is 28mpg according to my guage

I have one.... The older version, like mine, needs a separate power wire. The newer ones, from what I understand, dont need anything other than the OBDII connector. Which is NICE. Im going to wait awhile and see if they upgrade them again with any other nice features, then probably buy another.

One thing I wish they'd do is make it so you can turn certain read outs off. Like I dont need analog 1 and 2, and trans temp, and oil pressure, and HP showing up all the time when I cycle through. It would be nice to turn them off in a menu so they dont show up in the cycling.

x2. you can select which ones to display. Some readings dont mean anything to me though. i.e. injector pulse width, O2 sensor frequency, MAF frequency. I pretty much have mine set on MPG and Manifold pressure in lb./hg. all the time.

My car is an 01 but I bought the gauge over a year ago. I got it back from Aeroforce last week. Since it's an older version it needs a seperate power wire. The newer version, like yours, does not require one.

I think he's talking about removing them from the gauge. So when he goes to select another parameter to view you don't have to cycle through all those readings that you don't need.

I am not sure. I have the older version of the gauge but it was upgraded to the Pro version. I think the only real improvement is that you don't need a seperate power wire.

lol, i know what he ment with mine there is a set up menu and there you can select which parameters you want. say all you want to read it coolent temp, intake temp and fuel % thats all that will show up, you choose what you want the guage to read get it

Ya, that is how the new ones work. There's a bunch of readings that I don't even know what they mean, so I just left them off. It is all done in the setup menu now. Works great.
