I hated not being able to see my temp gauge and debated just buying a mechanical gauge. I decided instead to try the Autometer Dashlink 2.0 that plugs into the OBD2 port. I picked up an adapter from Diesel Freak that turns the Roxor port into a standard OBD2 port and plugged in the Autometer dongle. I setup my gauges with a tach, voltage, coolant temp, and boost gauge. They all worked great. I was hoping I could use trans temp and AFR gauges but couldn't get those, or the oil pressure ones to work. I'm not sure if the Roxor's OBD2 port will read those settings? My only complaint is the OBD2 port has power running to it all the time. The dongle shows a green power light when the ignition is on and flashes green when it's off. I can't find anywhere that says if the Autometer has an auto shutoff after a certain amount of time, but I don't want anything draining my battery. I'm going find out which wire is the "hot" wire on the adapter and jump it to something that's hot when the key is on. I found a couple "LED" plugs under the dash that I'm guessing will only be hot when the key is on so I'll likely just use that for now. It's probably such a small drain on the battery it might not even matter and I could always unplug it if I'm not driving it for a while. I like the fact I can set the warning parameters on the gauges to whatever I want and it flashes or turns colors to warn you so you get an extra measure of protection over just the lights on the factory gauge. I'll try and post some pics of the install and gauges when I get a chance. The Dashlink has a ton of functions too, like GPS speed and tripmeters, 0-60 times, gas mileage, etc, but some of it you have to input a bunch of data for it to calibrate itself.
