I am on a standalone so I can see all of that. I have the voltage diplayed on my 5in display. I am just worried about turn signals, high beam, cruise control, mileage display, Gear, fuel gauge, etc. If I installed this display my stock one would have to come out and do another 3D scanned and printed one. The question is what other curve balls would I get thrown in the process.

Yeah, I'm advising everyone to hold off from purchasing at the moment. The tachometer is off by 10% or so (in the lower rpms at least, not sure if it's linear). My tablets ECU reader, which I know to be dead accurate, reads 3000 rpm and the dash tach is at approx 3300. The red line on the dash is 8500 (no biggie), but the shift ligh starts flashing yellow around 5k

I've sent this to nifty city, and they've added it to their queue, but if this isn't fixed I'm sending it back. I'm not an app engineer and I'm not getting anything from helping unscrew their product

Nah, don't agree. The dash has a LOT more potential, provided they work out the kinks of course. One thing that I haven't pointed out is that the digital dash gives the actual tire pressure at each corner, whereas the stock cluster only tells you that one of tires is low.

To the other pervious questions about the MKII tablet integration, the info shared so far seems to validate that any custom gauge pods created on the tablet can be cast onto the dash. More clarification is needed from them before I get behind that though. Who knows, maybe I can grease them enough to get the MKII and try to work out those kinks too

The potential is there, and if their engineers get the kinks straightened out it will be a slam dunk.

Always hated Nissan for this. Individual tire pressure readouts had been available on the FX50 since 2009, which shares the same infotainment hardware and software with G and Z. I was pissed when I realized I had that info on my family suv, but not on the fun cars . Sigh

Don't need it. I haven't had TPMS for a while. Tire pressure gauge is all you need.

If you have a 2010 and up, with navigation, you can enable live tire pressures with a $5 USB cable:

I assume this can be done with any Nissan?

I will experiment on my 2013 Murano. (with infotainment)

Update: Nifty City sent a .bin to reflash the firmware, and I have Sport Mode again. I never realized how much I liked it until I lost it :0

I've asked for a roll up of the high level issues that this firmware update addressed, and I've inquired about a manual specific firmware and to convert the trans temp gauge to an oil pressure gauge. I'll post the reply

All in all, I'm happy with the gauge now that I have sport mode back

Seems a little buggy right out of the gate just like the V1 screen. I'll wait with my popcorn to see if things smooth out with this cluster.
