Digital Gauge Options

I am contemplating switching over to digital gauges instead of my current analog ISSPRO ones. I like the idea of having one box that monitors everything.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I am also open to some android device options like Torque Pro in a permanent set up.

If you're going to go Android, I wouldn't (and didn't) mess around. The Nexus 7 (2013 model) has full HD resolution, KitKat operating system, and very fast hardware. I have used other tablets (Android and iOS), but this is the fast and easy one.

I like my tablet setup - and have no plans to change it. I will be experimenting with WiFi at some point after August (new product coming out). I have 3 analog gauges (2 pyros and boost), and will be setting up my boost gauge to read fuel pressure - with a switch to the other sensor. Once that switch is in, I'm done with my gauge musical chairs. The pyros and fuel pressure are not on the OBDII port, and my boost exceeds the MAP sensor... so I need them all.

Google is having HTC come out with an 8" unit late this year, but I like the size of the 7" system: It doesn't interfere with my leg or view of the analog gauges, it's within easy reach to switch screens, and the size allows me to make the gauges "appear" to match the size of the analog gauges from my point of view while driving. I have even modified their appearance to match my ISSPRO EV2s at night.

Rich, I'm considering something like that with my Samsung Tab for as needed situations like off road etc...

But for a permanent install solution something like the CS or CTS would be nice.
