boost and temp gauge

I am thinking about adding a boost and temp gauge. Is there a place to add a sensor on the 2013's that anyone is aware of. I have already figured out how to add a boost tap.
Thanks,
Steven

We have an coupler you can fit on the hose to install a 1/8 NPT sensor.

Bluetooth®-compatible nüvi or Android™ smartphone

Steven,

If you have a Bluetooth®-compatible nüvi or Android™ smartphone you can use this dongle ...

The Garmin Nuvi works really well. It's one less App running on the iPhone. With Pandora always on and actually using the phone for a phone, doesn't leave much room to run more apps.

For what it's worth...I really like mine.

Ultra Gauge works great. I have one in my R53. Got it from a friend, it pretty cheap too about $75. I have coolant temp, intake air temp, throttle position and boost on mine. U can have up to 8 readings on a page. And there are 7 pages you can pre program. Great display too, alot better than the scan gauge.

I mounted it with velcro tape just on the dash. the reason i did that is because there is buttons on the back to change to different pages. But it does come with mounting stuff (in the air vent and couple more) just never got that from my friend. It was free so i was not worried ;-)

I also forgot to mentioned it reads and clears check engine lights :-)

I am not home now so i cant measure it. but its perfect size. I am guessing 3" by 2"

the Scangauge E and Scangauge II are cost effective options. I have one in each of my MINIs.

No unfortunately not that I've found that is suitable. I use it with my Garmin Nuvi. Thought about getting an android phone just for the expanded version, but the Garmin has about everything but oil pressure.
