4-In-1 Multi Function Display

[dori34]

hi guys,

I've been on the hunt for quite some time for a decent yet affordable multi function display unit (much like the greddy infometer touch without the $600+ $300 (for sensors) price tag) - my main important displays would be oil temp & oil pressure in the display/gauge.

I've come across this unit on ebay. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CAR-VEHICLE-LCD-GAUGE-OIL-PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE-RPM-VOLT-multifunction-4-1-/200689764810?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eba0ac9ca

seems like a handy little unit and judging by the pictures, it looks to be made by Autogauge (according to the logo) but searching on the autogauge website, i can't find anything.

has anyone had any experience with this or can recommend any other multi displays (as long as it has oil temp & pressure together) units for under $300?

size: 14.5cm X 8cm X 2cm (thinking of squeeze this in my spare din slot)

comes with:

1x display unit

1x mounting bracket

1x oil temp sensor

1x oil pressure sensor

1x control box

The seller offers 3 months warranty against factory defects, and i've asked him if there has been any reported issues and his reply was

"The only issue people have is with the RPM indication is not as instantaneous as a normal rev counter, as it is a digital readout"

for $117 + $10 delivery, and being shipped from QLD, seems like a very good buy!

thoughts/comments ??

how does it connect ?

I'm personally using the ARK MFD which works very very well. Unfortunately it costs a bit more than this one and does require additional sensors for the oil temp/pressure.

sensors go to a control box, and the control box plugs into the unit.

Yeah, i saw that unit, looks nice but cost wise kills it.

i might just stick with my blitz gauges and run them.

did some more searching, and came across this in the UK; http://www.zada-tech.com/product/multi-gauges/lcd-based-digital-multi-gauge

still quite expensive but cheaper then ARK and Greddy units.

too bad it isn't boxed and looks very ghetto/DIY.
