Seriously thinking of getting one for my Cobra - like the idea that one can pretty much design your own face. The down side is that in tunnels, tree lined roads, urban canyons etc. you will lose satellite signal. Wonder if they are really legal for that reason. Of course if your speedo has stopped working (or never worked) this may be better than nothing.

If you've got an android phone there are several free applications that do the same. No doubt they will be available for that other phone as well, cant remember the name.....sure it has something to do with friut LOL

I don't think they would pass IVA or MOT.

That looks a real nice bit of kit, and fo all the anologue cars, like mine
you seem to be able to customize them to be pretty close to the oe spec

Obviousley this is a US product, but will it work in the UK, (i havnt read it all as only just up, after a night shift)

They sell programmable analog gauges that work from a pulse....

Speedhut also make programmable gauges that would most probably comply in a bigger range and you can choose colours logos etc.

Wow... just had a look at the Speedhut gauges and I am very impressed. I do wonder how accurate the GPS speedos are though in terms of lag and concrete canyons...

Still... Almost enough to make me replace all my gauges. Got any pics of them incar?

Cheers- Neil G

Its to cold to do a full test for any lag in the speedo as i only have a aero screen but a quick blast up the road and all seems good.
I looked at alot of gauges before buying and for the price £264 deliverd with customs and duty and the ease of fit , 3 wires on each i thought it was worth taking a risk.
I think the gps part is german because when you first connect up it all starts with Achtung which is german for Attention.
