This is almost cool enough to make me keep my old dash panel and sell the f600 unit. :rock:
But Nearly $600 is a bit steep.

If everyone chips in then it wouldn't be that bad to buy me one. :D

That would be nice to have. Doing an F600 instrument panel would be just as expensive if you did some real gauges.

That setup is neat. I like everything except I want to see some indication of speed and rpm, not numbers.

Normally on those Dakota units you can switch from numbers to a bar graph or both on some units. I was just looking into those a few months back and they wasn't out yet. I think I just found my new guage setup. I'm glad they just made my decision for me.

I'd like to see one installed so we can see how it looks in a truck.

what does 52 mean on the fuel guage 5.2 gallons or 52 miles worth of fuel?

I'm guessing the odometer would start at 0, or do they ask you your current mileage? :hmm:

you can have the odometer pre-set for another 20 dollors...

ok heres a question the fuel tank says it is 52% full (i read there facts to find it says how full it is in percent).... what if we have three gas tanks is it possible to make it read the levels in the one you switch to????
