i've had one for going on 10 years. on my 3rd currently (1 was installed in a custom dash piece for my eclipse that i later sold after the car, 1 was lost moving and re-found, and 1 is installed in the brz) . actually just had to contact them-- i dropped mine messing around and cracked the display. they sent out a replacement display, and display replacement instructions within the same week for free (and i fully admitted to doing something bone-headed with a unit that was at least 7 years old to cause the damage) great people to deal with.

Haha oh lord, you guys and your gauge placements :P.
I was honestly okay with the idea of doing an a-pillar setup despite not being a douchebag (that I know of!) since it's also a JDM thing . But over the past few weeks I decided I didn't like most of the pod configurations. a-pillar juts out too much into FOV, the steering wheel mount blocks the OEM cluster (I guess the side with the analog speedometer is useless anyway though but I like keeping it clear), the cluster hood mount also starts to block FOV a bit, etc. That's why I went with that AC vent gauge, and then also ordered one of those block8head defroster vent single pod mounts because I'd seen Ultramaroon recommend/+1 them in a few threads. Of course now I'm hearing it could take two months to get mine .

There are also two analog input wires that can be connected to additional sensors I believe. I think you can also reconfigure values for stuff like the meter on top, since it shows the number and some kind of meter maybe as like a way to quickly glance and see if there’s too much of whatever the value. Then there’s also some timer type things for 0-60 and other measurements.

Yep two buttons. There’s a peak function so you can see your highest value for a metric as well, it remembers the metric you were looking at last time the car was on, even has a basic dimmer so that at night you can dim the display (there’s actually a wire you can use to make it work automatically but I’m not good with splicing).

It's ok, I think I can be patient. I won't be able to do canyon drives for a while now because all my favorite roads are on fire . So no hard driving for me, which was mostly what the gauges are for haha.

Yeahhh, I'm so bummed. I was way more interested in watching my temps in summer because when I drive in the winter my roads are usually 45 or lower in the mornings so I'm not nearly as worried about oil temps.
