Standard Equipment And Options

Me too. It is a 7K Autocycle. I do not really see the need for a 70K sports car fancy dash. It could be fun having a KM Odometer too. 100,000km = 62,137mi

I agree. I remember when I took a 1984 Corvette for a test drive. I disliked the "Atari" so much I did not buy the car. I ordered an IROC Camaro and waited 8 months for it to arrive. My 1995 Corvette has a digital speedometer and I still prefer round tachometer and speedo gauges. That's why there is a good selection in the after market such as Dakota and Autometer.

Go back and look at post #1615

I've already done all the research for what will work in the dash.
The area you have to work with is 9" x 4"
The gauges that are in there are the size that will fit (3 3/8")
The only thing I don't have is the output signal from the speedo, Tach (through the system CAN, or cable) and the gas gauge (ohm).
I spent months finding out a lot of information on it because is will be a while before you can go to an aftermarket place and say "I'd like to order some gauges for an Elio"

You read me correctly. The Red panel is right at 7 3/32" by 2", I believe. We need a member to put an actual tape measure there... Or better yet, I'll just ask Elio.

I asked:
ElioOwners.com is our forum and a question has come up about the radio spot in the dash. We believe it to be a single DIN spot with color coordinated spacers to accommodate the pill sized MTX Audio radio. IF it is, in fact, a single DIN, the measurement would be roughly 7 3/32" x 2" since that is the US standard for a DIN radio. The question is "what is the available depth for a radio? There are several do-it-yourselfers on our forum and I like to provide correct information rather than a best guess. Please help me provide the information...
Their answer, albeit brief and not much to it:\

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out to us. Please stay tuned for more details through our newsletter and website about the depth and size of the radio!


Thanks,

Elio Team



It seems our questions could be answered pretty soon. No sense guessing any more.

Kind of sounds like a 'robo-reply'.

I thought that as well but they at least tailored it with "...about the depth and size of the radio!"

Good robots

Robots answering emails....next thing you know they'll be building Elios or something.

Let's all hope so

Probably not a robo reply, more likely a canned reply.

Can't or won't talk about it, then Cntrl-v
