I have Space for 2 gauges. and I'm absolutely going to add this to the pod along with my banks i-dash. I actually got a RHD defroster vent dual pod. I can't believe somebody made them.
Nice, progress Thank you for the video, too

[QUOTE=2023_ZL1-AUTO;11359523]Good idea, I did the same with a LED voltage meter and just mounted it using 3M double sided trim tape by the OBD2 port, but I can see it while driving just by quickly looking down. I used the grey and black wires used for the vacuum sensor that run from the JMS unit to the throttle peddle since I'm using the peddle to engage voltage boost. This gave me the extra wires to use to carry the voltage from the trunk connection to the LED voltage meter. I explain on my posts I linked above. Make sure you get gauge that can show your voltage to at least 2 decimals. Since you have to set your voltage to 17.47v and not 17.4v[QUOTE]

Actually, I bought a stylish looking 52mm gauge that fits in my pod. It's only 1 decimal place. There was no 52mm voltmeters that were LED. It was really hard to find this one. So I will also purchase the square LED type, which are super plentiful. They are so cheap here, like under $5. I will buy one for setting purchases and keep the stylish 52mm one just to monitor the line while driving to make sure I don't have some catastrophic failure without knowing. I have read that this line is on all the time. If I'm not misunderstanding what I read and it is on ALL of the time, I will toggle switch the line so I can shut the monitor off.

By the way, Thanks for the idea of using the black and grey wires. This is a good idea. Also, how do you like your Banks I-Dash? That's what is going into the other pod.

I love my Bank I-Dash !!! It data logs also!!! I have the super gauge and the data monster. But when I had to start using the AFR gauge I took out the super gauge, but I'm looking for an a-pillar with 3 gauge mounts that has the same look as the stock a-pillar. Once I do, I'll reinstall the Super Gauge

This is the video I used to help get mine installed:
