Custom Gauge Cluster? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Ingen · 01-30-2013, 07:18 AM

I wish we could lose the analog speedometer and add a small cluster of temp gauges and/or a digital version of those. Something like oil temp, oil pressure, trans temp, and so on.

Does anyone know of such a thing? I have an OBD2 and Torque but I haven't used it much yet. I'd love to see something more... integrated, than that.

Doesn't have to be done there, but yah I wouldn't put it there either.

drawback is that there are other functions the cluster has aside of the gauges. I'm pretty sure its tied into the alarm system and possibly other functions.

I'm not a fan of the analog speedo either.. but we're kinda stuck with it for now.

Still nothing has been developped that removes the analog cluster and adds gauges ?

I've like to see an option to replace the analog speedometer with an LCD screen. This screen would then have various options for digital gauges that the driver could choose from.

Agreed! Instead of all these "special" editions. It would be nice if there
were a track package option that added Oil temp, oil pressure and other useful gauges..
That would be worth paying extra for instead of glowing badges and dual climate BS.

What? Why would you want to know what the engine is doing when you can just let people know how cool you are with glowing badges?!

I don't know if it's just me, but I've always preferred blue lighting for gauge clusters compared to red. I'm sure a couple of LED bulbs can fix that for me though.

Battery voltage is a MUST have, don't understand why it isn't systematic, it gives a wealth of info about the eletrical health! They should crap the analog speedo and put two or three small gauges there (battery voltage, oil pressure and torque)

Seems a tablet running Torque has far more flexibility as far as what you can display and how.

ETA: And you can also use Carista and access the things you can change regarding lights, sounds and the rest. DRL's off is worth the price of Carista just by itself.

I totally agree, the analog speedometer is useless. It would be much better to have anything else there. I liked my old RX-7 gauge cluster, had oil pressure, battery voltage (or boost if Turbo II), gas, and water temp.
