Well, no workaround for our current FlexPod style mounting. It would require a whole new set of pieces specifically for the Countryman, they have not been designed.

Kellen,

Any update on this project?

Thanks

It's that a real needle over a screen? I was thinking the screen would render the needle as well, but this is much cooler.

@chrunck, the whole thing is real. The input is all digital from the OBDII, but the output is classic analog needle movement over a static gauge face we've designed.

Oh, okay. I guess I was letting my imagination run wild. I was thinking this was going to be a single gauge that could be used for multiple readings, with an LCD that changed for boost, oil pressure, etc.

In this case, each gauge will be built and programmed for one specific function.

Ohhh..

Sorry, not a fan... I need more than one "gauge".. I was really hoping for a "round" version of a scangauge that blended in the mini dash.. Not just a single option... I was hoping for an Aeroforce mini version.

:(

I also was hoping for a full function scanguage in a round housing, one that I could set for one analog like display primarily, but with either buttons or touchscreen controls access the full features of a scanguage.

There is a strong demand for this.

Is there a possibility to connect more than one to the OBDII port? Just curious as to whether the connectors "stack" on top of each other to allow voltage and coolant temp, for example? Any word on figuring out oil pressure?
