That OBDII gauge is certainly a nice option for an OBD reading gauge.

But $379 is a bit steep, for now.

I saw that you said the were inexpensive. The way I am reading the literature, you need both the gauge ($79 and up) and sender ($89 and up) for any gauge. That is a minimum of $168 for a gauge package or $504 for the typical three. I don't see how that is a good deal plus you have three boxes you have to deal with. Isn't it close to the same price to do the 'smart' Autometer adn be able to daisy chain 14 guages?

Not sure the exact cost of the Autometers of all my together. Which line of AM are you talking about? What I had before was not the cheaper line. My AM ultralites pyro retails for $154.xx The fuel gauge alone retails for $223.xx. I guess it depends on which brand you get in the AM line as to how much difference in price it will be. Mine were not cheap at all and I only had 4 things I can look at. I know with the PLX you can install 1 gauge and monitor up to 32 sensors off of it.

That is correct but you would have to have the various sensors at $89 and up
