PLX DM-100 gauges, with MINI custom faces!

Check this out:




(This picture shows the product on the A-pillar of a Honda S2000, by the way...)

It's the DM-100 gauge system, from PLX Devices. We've been selling PLX wideband O2 systems for a long time, and we've had good luck with them. I had seen the new DM-100 recently, and thought it looked terrific.

The DM-100 is a 52mm gauge-sized display that has a small controller box (the red thing above). You can feed data to it from any/all of several optional gauge sensor modules. I chose boost, oil temp, and air/fuel. I'll use the air/fuel meter later when I do ECU tuning of the car.

We positioned the gauge on the dash behind and to the left of the tach. It's nice and discreet when it's turned off, and it's clearly visible through the steering wheel when it's on.

Here are some pics of the actual install in our shop car:





Note that the gauge is displaying different information. It comes with a remote control that allows you to select which sensor you're displaying, and how it's displayed. It can do the "traditional" style gauge, the large numbers shown, plus a line graph and a chart with four inputs displayed simultaneously. And yes, the colors match the factory gauges because I programmed it that way. You could do blue needle with purple numbers and a green center if you wanted...

Not only that, but you can program your own custom gauge if you want. If you want to have a thermometer that goes pop when the temp gets too hot, you can do it...just get out your PC illustrating tool and get busy. You can upload the result to your gauge.

If you aren't a graphics expert, you can also download pre-made custom gauges, including...

MINI style gauge faces!
