PLX Gagues/Alta R56 pods installed

Hi MINI team,

Here my setup using PLX DM200 obdII and DM200 display plus vac/boost .... Sorry for the glare, very sunny morning. Will post better updated pics shortly.


[day time mode]

This with a simple graphics upload for testing. I will post pics soon of the MNI cooper graphics version installed.


[night time mode]

This is using their default text/graphics display ....


[4 parameter mode, can display up to 8 gauges at once]



[gauge controls, remotes]

I mounted the remotes in the center console [waiting for chrome rings to arrive to finish dressing the holes], The trim rings will finish it off and make it look factory.. They are slightly recessed to prevent accidental touching yet very easy to change the displays on the fly on either both, or just one .... I have a couple R56 NAV style joysticks on order so future mod will look like a nav unit joystick control.

Cheers,
Roberto

PLX OBD II Gauges

Those are very good looking gauges for digital setups. The mounting of the remotes is first rate and I wish you had posted the final photo of the chrome trim.

Keep up the good work!

Gauges

My Marshall Gauge setup in my R56 MCa have a nice look but certainly cannot display all the info that these gauges can display!

I have another new Mini coming next week 2011 MCSa and I think these PLX gauges might be soon in my future.
