Default Brockway DGauge

Anyone buy a new Brockway DGauge? I like the look of this new digital gauge and I'm considering picking one up. I almost bought an R920 a while back. This new model is smaller and much cooler though. Not sure where to mount it yet. For those that aren't familiar with Brockway: http://www.brockwayengineering.com/dgauge.html

Wow, it's nice but not exactly $400 nice. I've been running a scangauge2 and at $150, it's hard to beat. The essentially do the same thing but the Scanguage2 just not as flashy

No offense but the Scangauge is a turd compared to the DGauge. Considering the features and appearance I think the DGauge is worth it, which is why I bought one.
I really like it so far but haven't permanently mounted it yet. I ordered a suction cup mount so we'll see how that works out.

Finally had a chance to mount up the DGauge and take a pic. I ended up using the micro mount without the suction cup. Looks pretty cool I think.
The gauge itself is very nice. Sharp graphics and fast update rate. Plus it doesn't look ricey like round gauges.

Yeah, I recently installed one of these in my car too! I really like it because it can display tons of readings (such as RPM, map, ect, intake temps, speed, current gear, spark timing, and bat voltage, plus more) all in the same unit, rather than having 18 different gauges mounted to your car. Plus it just plugs into the OBD2 port, so installation was super simple and you can transfer it between cars quickly.

It supports some additional sensors too, but I don't have any of them yet. If I wanted to I could put in a wideband O2 sensor, oil temp sensor, or oil pressure sensor, etc, and it would display them too. If I had VAFC I would put in the wideband sensor and it would make tuning the car really easy. Someday maybe...
