    Random vandals unfortunately.
    I promise you once I get it back I'll give the list of other gauges it supports!

    I just miss not having a boosted vehicle to drive! The turbo made the little 4banger so much more enjoyable!

    I have what might be a silly question but, do you need a GPS antenna adapter if your head unit doesn't have GPS built in? I have the Kenwood DDX9905s with Android Auto. Doesn't seem like you'd need the GPS antenna adapter to me but I got one anyway. Just wondering now in retrospect if you actually need it or utilize the GPS antenna.

    Thanks fellas.

    If the 9905 is an updated version of my 9903, the GPS is used to help boost the cell phone's gps and it's also used for the compass display on the headunit.

    Thanks @kingston73 , much appreciated. I installed the adapter and DDX9905s as well as the Maestro unit this last weekend. Loving it so far.

    Have that complete list on hand? Can you display oil temp & presure?

    Give me like a half hour and I'll go outside on lunch and check..I totally forgot, my apologies!
    Oil temp/pressure is not supported on our trucks, as we only have a oil pressure switch. You can always add an aftermarket oil temp/pressure gauge fairly cheaply, but the Maestro won't pick it up since it reads OBD2 data.

    @Camby and everyone else who was asking, I apologize sincerely for the delay in getting the info to you guys!

    The gauges I can currently see/select on my Maestro are:
    • Acceleration (in G's)
    • Air/Fuel (As the factory wideband sees it. Disregarding if you're forced induction, since you'd have an additional for tuning)
    • Avg fuel economy (MPG)
    • Battery voltage (Volts, duh)
    • Coolant temp (degrees F/C)
    • Engine Load (as percentage)
    • EGT (Which is really the catalyst temp, if you see the numbers you know why)
    • Instant fuel economy (MPG)
    • IAT (Intake Air Temp in degrees F/C)
    • MAF flow (lb/min)
    • RPM (self explanatory lol)
    • Throttle Position (percent)
    • Timing Advance (degrees)
    • Speedometer (MPH/KMH)
    Keep in mind the ECU of a V6 is different than my little 4-banger MT, so you may see some additional gauges that I can't (but as far as I know, you won't. At most it'd be an additional cat reading, and POSSIBLY trans temp since you can get it to read in Torque)

    The biggest benefit is having some of the basic gauges that Torque offers, right on the headunit itself. Also being able to see/clear CEL's was a nice feature.
    Each gauge is configurable for limits/warnings as well as peak numbers for scaling purposes. I never adjusted those settings so they auto-scale. It's just common knowledge what all the values should be (if you're into tuning and such)

    Thank you so much for listing this! Ive been looking all over trying to find what info can be displayed. I pulled the trigger on the ILX107 couple weeks ago; still gathering components up, so hopefully at the end of the summer I can install it et all. Very excited to be able to monitor whats going on internally with the truck, and having my 2006 updated to current technology.
