Elio Gauge Cluster - Lord Elgin? - Other Options?

I don't like that dash either but if they use it, I'd have to see it in person before taking the same route as you. By all means, stand by your convictions though.

Th reason I asked to take some measurements for me in Tempe on Saturday. With the OBD2 interface I shouldn't have any trouble creating my own cluster. Won't be cheap hacking a one off but I can do it.

Problem is you might not get a chance to see it if the P5 doesn't show up somewhere near you.

Here is another 'sample' of an OBDII app that you can use;

There is also a YouTube clip that shows some other features and 'screens' that can be used with an iPad. I plan to use an Android app, with a smaller 7-9" tablet display that would cover the "SB Display" area. --

That sounds like my post. I will not buy the Elio with the Elgin dash if I cannot create a cluster I feel safe looking at. On that basis I would simply forefoot my money and take my knocks. For me it is a deal breaker. Do I have to buy? NO, and if it comes to that it is just one less Elio on the road. Not a choice I want to make but one I will if necessary.

That wil show the bastards. You go H2odog. "forefoot" your money. It will also move the rest of us up a slot.

And I darned well should that forfeit is the word I needed to use. I got no idea where that other one came from Guess I have gremlins in my keybored

Here's a quick (15 minute) virtual instrument cluster that I created on my tablet using Torque. May be somewhat busy for some folks, but it's really easily reconfigured. And there are multiple screens available with just a swipe. And, there's also a HUD toggle.

Jim I agree It must be kept simple but at the same time readable for all concerned.

Absolutely agree and those concepts are not incompatible

Nice dash, but I see one glaring omission and am not sure just how it might be handled. If someone has a suggestion please speak up. We have no valid non-resettable odometer, and I believe that is a no no! The SB dash appears to have a digital unit so perhaps a window could be created for its display.

I think they should go with a dash from "Citizen" instead of Elgin, don't you think?
