I also painted the wire of the scan gauge in black to hide it a little into the pod (nothing outside you can see) you barely see it in the pics. Thanks to all of you.

I was looking at your speedo and wondering why the heck it it was showing 140 mph and higher. Then I realized it was Kilometers per hour. LOL!!

Hope you don't feel too bad about waiting this long to get it installed since it was easier than you thought.

The numbers on your gauge look black. I think mine are green numbers. Is that a setting I missed somewhere? Where did you get your gauge? Was it from Jim?

Sorry to hijack, but I hate the green numbers on a green background.

Chris, You can invert the colors on the scan gauge, I have my numbers black, they are easier to read, for me. I forget how to do it though, just scroll through the menu.
