I haven't used the products that you mentioned but I am running a digital dashboard. I have been meaning to post this information in a thread of it's own.

I'm using a galaxy Tab A mounted to the OE radio garnish. I use a RaceCapture Track MK2

Race capture plugs into the OBD port and collects CAN data, as well as GPS data from a separate antenna. It has an app that you install on the tablet. RC sets up a wifi network and sends the data to the tablet via wifi.

All of the data you are trying to set up gauges for are on the CAN bus (oil pressure is not). You can configure gauges with warnings and colors etc. on the RaceCapture app for anything on the CAN bus.

For oil pressure I installed a sensor and ran it to an arduino than converts the signal into a CAN message and sends that to the RaceCapture.

All of this can be done for significantly less than the cost of those digital dashes mentioned above, at least at their MSRP.
