Gauge selection

Run an add-a-fuse to your kick panel. Use the multi-meter to determine which fuses are always hot. That's how I ran all my gauges. I don't recall off the top of my head which ones in the kick panel were hot all the time.

1, Can you display information from an external source on the factory Nav screen?

2, I didn't use the triple gauge wire harness for my Defi, I ran my own power.

I've never seen it without a switch and a carputer. But I don't know much about electronics/audio other than I'm real good at plug that there and connect those two wires together

Yes. There are aux RCA ports in the center arm rest. As a quick test, I hooked my Raspberry PI up to it, and the PI displayed without issue. I want to do the cellphone thing that I mentioned, but I haven't sat down and figured out how to make a video out with my available devices. Obviously, this will only give info that is read by the OBDII, so if your multigauge was going to display things like boost and oil pressure, it is definitely needed.

If you are using the video feed you would still need a switch to allow viewing with the parking break down. All video feed is cutout when the parking break is down or the vehicle is in motion. At least it is in a manual. Not sure how the function works in a AT cuz I pretend they don't exist

wheee!

A lot of us have already done the Nav Hack with the backup camera and VSS off switch in the console. MY park brake wire is permanently grounded so I can view video in any gear so a video display while in motion is not an issue.

I am definitely interested in having the Nav display work as a gauge cluster like the GT-R!

Sucks the HKS/Magden units both went away, I like my camp2, plug in (wire in a few extra items) and it plugs into any screen.
Only other option for that right now is a carPC setup which is fairly customization. I will say that most of these seem to go away because even lower end cars now have a screen in the car by default with some gauges (look at the juke).

Are these the new Tanabe gauges you all are talking about: Tanabe USA Inc. - Revel VLS Gauges

Yes. They're amazing

I'm looking into running the Defi Advance control unit. Off that, run a Advance ZD screen with oil pressure, oil temp, and fuel pressure. Then in the 3 dash spots, run a Defi Boost gauge off the ACU, then two stand alone widebands.

Yes. I have the oil pressure and temp. I am considering getting the AFR, since all three of the stock gauges have to be swapped.

Those look pretty decent. So little innovation in the gauge arena! Looking forward to seeing what GaleForce comes up with.

Back on topic, for those who want multi gauges and can afford the room for a screen, this is a sample of what I'm looking at.



It's fully customizable, the above is a sample layout. You can display more sensor readings on other "pages". I'm also looking into having this work with the factory Nav screen.

So what is the back bone running this setup (raspberry pi)? I would assume OBD2 connection and then extra connections for boost and pressures?

No OBDII, sending units for whatever you want to monitor.

Here is some more info,

The gauge makes use of a joystick to enable the user to swap between the different modes and readings. It even could be programmed for you to hold the peak values for each reading.

Do you want to be notified if you exceed a maximum or go lower than a minimum reading? You can have your gauge with an LED to warn you in such situations.

The most important feature of this LCD is that it can be customised to any look by the user. Peak values can be set to whatever the users desire within the settings menu. LED warning light can be turned on or off. Within the settings menus, the user can choose which readings to be shown in the gauge mode in case the sensor is not available at the time, either not present or getting changed.

Do you want to use your multi gauge also to control your car components as well as monitor? Then this unit can be programmed to keep an eye on temperatures to start your radiator fan on low speed or high speed! Very useful when on track days.
