UltraGauge Owners

That's good to know.

 

So what you see on the screen is a few seconds off? Is it that way for all the parameters that can change rather quickly (MPG, RPM, speed, etc)? Or just for ones related to a particular monitoring set? I guess that would be called refresh rate, huh?

Do you happen to know if I can get outside temp from it? I have that sensor up on my grill (2010 SR5) but I read somewhere that it is just for the A/C or something.

 

Nothing gives outside temps that are accurate. There is nowhere to put a sensor that is exposed to the atmosphere, in the shade and not exposed to the heat from the truck or the ground.

 

Thanks for the info. For me, I don't know if the once per second vs quicker rate would be a deal breaker for me but I really would like to have the outside temp. I wonder if I can get the temp/compass module and swap it out with my non-used sunglasses and non-used garage door opener console. That is another thread though.

 

Yeah, I figured that too. I had one of those outdoor wireless ones for a few months and when I was not in motion, the heat from the engine would still affect it even though I was outside the engine compartment. I guess being up under the bumper still allowed the heat from the radiator to affect it.

 

I am contemplating buying one, but the rear controls makes a more permanent mounting a problem. It requires access to the rear.
Can you guys post some pictures for reference, please.

 

I mounted mine with a tiny L bracket I got at Meijer.

3m'd the bracket to the top of the dash, off to the left.

Then I 3m'd the UG to the bracket.

Has worked very well for the past week.

Had my UG for a few months now.

 

You never said how you broke it. Did it just lose suction and fall?

 

You can change the refresh rate on the EM Ultra Gauge.
With everything on the can system if you get it to quick it could start to effect systems. but you can fine tune.
i just installed mine and I'm going to keep it in this location for now. Fit's perfect since i'm not using the 3 switch ports. Will use double sided tape eventually. just used the velcro for now.

I had this all planned out for a week before i bought it and damed if the cord doesn't disconnect, lol. So instead of going in behind the gauge through a switch plate i had to run it along the dash seam between the upper and lower sections. AHH thats ok. She's programmed except for fuel fill up and i'll do that this week.

 

You have a different gauge cluster than mine. Is that stock?

 

The 2011.5+ have the carbon fiber gauge faces

 

So is it swappable? I haven't seen it on ebay yet.

 

Yes it is stock saugus

My build date is 12/10 if i remember right.

This is that white gauge setup that has everyone scratching their heads for shutting things off..

 

Hey guys, I got my Ultragauge today and im sorta clueless at how the heck im gonna mount this thing to my steering column?! Anybody got any ideas or pictures?

 

Most people that want it there usually use the Velcro or the suction cup to mount it to the stock gauges where the odometer is

 

So they are sticking the suction cup to the gauge cluster window?

 

Wait a second i see what your saying! Ha they are directly mounting it on the gauge cluster, I want my to stand freely between the steering wheel and the gauges. Sorry for the miscommunication.

 

Hmm... Then I guess you would have to make your own mount.

 

Hope to get a response. I just got my ultra gauge so learning about it. So far so good.

I mounted it by my rearview mirror. Is there a way to run that cable inside the interior by the window? Or am I just finding a way for it to run thru there and make it stick some how?

This weekend I will be running a Bluetooth mic thru the same area, so wondering if it's easy to take off the top interior...

I'm a newbeee and these are my first mods... Extra D rings coming up before the lift and bigger tires.

Thanks

 

Welcome!

And the easiest way is to take off the A-Pillar (where the handle by your door is) on the drivers side by using a flat head to pry off the covers to the screws and unscrewing the handles. Be careful when prying these off because one side you can pry off and the other side has a clip that you don't want to break. When the two screws are removed, you can carefully pull upwards on the plastic A-Pillar and remove it. Then run the wire between the windshield and the headliner and down where the A-Pillar is. Fish it around until you get it all the way down to the floor and connect it to the OBDII port.
