What is it and why do I want one?
I got many inquiries from folks who don’t have SportChrono in their 9x7, asking if they can install the gauge too.
Here is a product which makes the functionality of the SportChrono gauge available as a “standalone” product.
You can call it “the SportChrono gauge for cars that don’t have SportChrono”.
It has the same features as the “SportChrono gauge” (except for the clock) and will display:
Water temp (Fahrenheit/Celsius)
Oil temp (Fahrenheit/Celsius)
Oil pressure (for the 987.1 a modification on the car is needed, either read the instructions here and/or refer to this video, start at 8:19 in the video)
Voltage display (add on extra)
PDK temperature (for PDK cars only)
acceleration time (0-40 & 0-60 mph) or (0-50 & 0-100 km/h)
Boost pressure
Intelligent shift lights: the RPM thresholds are changed based on oil temperature
G-force meter
What is new in Version 2.0?
The main improvements in version 2.0 are
For the round gauge the size of the LCD has increased by 50%, or you could also say that the bezel has shrunk significantly
A g-force meter has been added
The instruments in the 9x7 cluster are analog, meaning they translate electrical signals via mechanical contraptions to a value displayed by the needles, and hence they are never fully accurate. In my device all readings are read digitally from the car’s CANbus and are 100% accurate.
You can switch between the screens via a supplied push-button.
The following models are supported:
Link to the user manual
Link to the installation manual
Here is a very good video on how to install the gauge.
If you forward to 8:19 in the video, you see what is needed to do to get oil pressure display on a 987.1.
You need to choose between one of these three types of gauges (see pictures)
The “Standard Gauge”. It is in a round case with a diameter of 55 mm. This can get mounted either on the windshield or onto the vents on top of the dashboard.
This will provide you with several different options to mount the gauge:
Both mounts are included.
The “Mini Gauge”. With dimensions of 42×25×13 mm it is significantly smaller than the Standard Gauge. It is meant to be mounted on top of the steering column in front of the instrument cluster. But due to it’s small size it can also be mounted on other locations.
The “Large Gauge”: This is a rectangular display with a 2.8” screen. It can only be mounted on the vent next to the A-pillar. As an addition to the normal screens, this gauge displays all other measurements in a side panel on the right.
