AeroForce OBDII gauges

[Eric91Z]

OK, I saw some interest in the old thread and magindat advised to start a new one in Dennis' Forum since Wes is no longer carrying them.

So, couple of quesions:

1) Dennis, are you carrying these?
2) Are you doing the single and dual setups?
3) What is the current pricing for the single?
4) What is the current pricing for the dual?
5) Can we get the oil pressure sender parts needed to read oil pressue and what is the cost?
6) Any chance for a GB?


I was originally thinking of going with the AutoMeter Nexus gauges just for the cool/wow factor, but that is a lot of money for what I was looking at doing. And I like the idea of the dual AeroForce setup in the stock gauge location and all of the parameters that it can read without having to add anything extra.

For those that have had them for a while now how are they holding up and working? For those of you running the dual gauge setup have you had any issues or are all the bugs worked out?

Thoughts? Inputs? More pictures?

- How does the black trim ring, black background, and green lettering look in the Marauder.
- How is visability during the day and during the nite?
- Easy to read at a relatively quick glance?


I will be doing new gauges for sure this year. But for the price of this compared to the Nexus setup I could almost fit the HID kit in to for what I would save with this setup compared to the AutoMeters.

I think at least Zack was also interested.

I am definitely interested in these and would like to hear what the status is on these babies! I'm still confused how they price out in a pair...and what exactly is needed to get them running right.

[magindat]

I will answer what I know abou t the PRODUCT I helped get right for the Marauder. Dennis will have to chime in on pricing, etc.

And I like the idea of the dual AeroForce setup in the stock gauge location and all of the parameters that it can read without having to add anything extra. Exactly as I developed...

For those that have had them for a while now how are they holding up and working? For those of you running the dual gauge setup have you had any issues or are all the bugs worked out? Holding up perfectly. Todd @ Aeroforce refused to release them and flatly refused to add Marauder to dealer lines before they were perfect. I tested them extensively and went through 7 sets until all was right. I have had no issues at all with the final set.

Thoughts? Inputs? More pictures?

- How does the black trim ring, black background, and green lettering look in the Marauder. This is my combo and was from the get go. I had the white for one set and didn't like it. The grey/silver bezel is OK but the main dash really would need rings to match. Black on Black also is a great contrast and make them easy to locate in your perphery. The green matched the factory green light in the AC and buttons perfectly.
- How is visability during the day and during the nite? Easy. Clearly visible in day. Not obnoxious at night. There's a 5 stage dimmer you can set for yourself to find the perfect level for you. Only washed oun in absolutely direct sunlight - the kinf of sunlight you can't even stand with sunglasses. (super rare).
- Easy to read at a relatively quick glance? Letters are about 5/8" tall and bold and are VERY easy to read. In the position on the Marauder stock placement, put the more important stuff on the bottom as it's easier to read than the top duw to the angle you view them.

Call Dennis 904-276-5003. These are a new product for him, so make the call.

Make sure you SPECIFY MARAUDER or the GH logo will not be there. DO NOT ASSUME!!!!

...and what exactly is needed to get them running right.

They read EVERYTHING off OBD there is to read. However, Some things don't go through OBD. Examples are Oil pressure, boost, and air/fuel.

Each gauge can handle 2 extra inputs. I use oil pressure and boost. Aeroforce/Dennis have kits for these inputs same as Autometer has kits for it's OP sender.

[QWK SVT]

I would second everything Magindat said, wrt the use of the gauge - it's great! In fact, it's so great, if there is a GP, maybe I could tag in to add a second unit to the existing one in my MM...

[Peace2Peep]

I am definitely in for a group buy! So what is the pricing Dennis? I'm on the road overseas so calling is out for now...I want the dual with the kit for boost and oil pressure...how much?

Are these things in stock or will it be a order and wait kinda thing?

Any real chance of a GB?

Thanks!

I would love to see a little bit clearer pictures. Maybe from a little further back.

So, looks like only 3 of us interested right now:

1) QWK SVT - single gauge
2) P2P - dual gauge with oil pressure and boost senders
3) Myself (Eric91Z) - dual gauge with oil pressure and boost senders


Anyone else? Zach?

[Zack]

Im in, I can even do the group buy, since Im a paid in full vendor :D

I can inquire Monday

Sounds good. Let us know.

[Peace2Peep]

No Updates?

[Tom Doan]

I'm In for the works. Tom

[Eric91Z]

No Updates?

Still waiting for Dennis or Zack to jump in and very pricing options, etc.

[Zack]

I sent an email early this morning, awaiting a response.

[Peace2Peep]

I'm gonna call the manufacturer...I need them this week...

[magindat]

I'm gonna call the manufacturer...I need them this week...


nevermind.....

[Zack]

I called and got a response back.
I had planned on making ZERO dollars and passing the savings onto everyone that was interested.
BUT.... It is clear in the pricing sheet that I cant do that :bigcry:

So I regretfully have to back out of my offer to you guys, sorry.

....PS.... Y'all would have gotten a SWEET deal if I could have swung it.

No, it isn't....

I had started the thread here because the original thread noted that Dennis is now a supplier of these gauges so brought it up in there to get his input. Have not heard anything from him yet on this.

Just a quick reply from a gauge user. I've had mine since last August and it's been great! I have only the single in the right pod and have the real Autometer oil gauge in the left pod. I have the silver bezel, black background and green letters. It is very readable in all situations except direct strong sunlight. It's funny, the numbers are sluggish to change from one digit to another when very cold - like 15*F. I would never go back to stock gauges. I usually always have the trans temp on top and either the volts on the bottom (to replace the now gone voltmeter) or the coolant temp on the bottom. Once in awhile I'll switch to vacuum or spark advance on the bottom.

Send it in and have it updated to the latest firmware, it will probably help.

[magindat]

Send it in and have it updated to the latest firmware, it will probably help.

And the latest firmware will alternate each display between 2 readings, so you can have 4 in one!
