So many gauges around for the R56, others that match, others that dont so its about time we see what is out there installed for the R56. Show us and tell us if your happy with them or not!

Not an R56, but on a R59. Factory JCW temp. gauge. I went this route because it works with the Bluetooth. The mic sits right under the gauge.

Steven,

Did you install these yourself or did the dealer do these for you?
If you did them yourself, do you still have the installation instructions?

I want to install Temp and Torque gauges but want to make sure (a) I can do this on my own, and (b) no programming by the dealer is necessary.

Thanks!
Alan

p.s.: I also posted this question in a new thread last night, here:

Hi Alan-

I had the dealer install my temp gauge before I took delivery. It took the mechanic 50min-hour. Not sure if any programing is necessary. Your dealer should be able to tell you that.

Since I have run out of big mods to do, I am going to add boost and oil temp or pressure gauges. I'm a simple man so I'll go with Alta pods and Prosport 60mm gauges. I'm conflicted about the oil gauge vis-a-vis which (temp or pressure) is an easier install.
