Just displays as numbers. I have one in my Land Rover so I can see real engine temps when towing.

In my MINI I use my Garmin GPS and a Garmin EcoRoute to put gauges up

O ok. Do you think the Cravenspeed Flexpod is worth the money? I just want it to look clean and not tacky and be able to read it while looking at the road.

I just brought a second FlexPod mount from Craven Speed for my sons R58.

I wrote a blog article about this topic.

I'm torn about the Cravenspeed mount. Part of me saw what I got and said, "I paid how much for this???" But even more of me appreciated how nicely it was all put together. It's one of those deceptively simple things that are tougher to come up with than you think.

I did my own attach-to-the-back-of-the-tach setup with a piece of plastic, but I like the Flex Pod setup better.

Here's the thread about the install of the Cravenspeed one: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...uge-mount.html

I've got that mount but a different holder for the Scangauge. That X mount looks hideous.

What holder did you get? I'll probably stick with the one I have, in part because it matches the phone holder, but it would be interesting to see what alternatives are out there.
