I did think about adding a digital readout that connected to the ODB port, is this worth it though? Would the data from the ODB port be more accurate?

Appreciate any guidance.

Steve, that's what mine is, if you look earlier in the tread there's some photos


Cheers for the pointer Jon.

I was looking at something similar on the web before I went the Sat Nav route but that does look a little simpler,

How visible is the readout in bright light?

Steve


Been using it for 2yrs now, in all weather conditions, I think it auto dims when light conditions are dull & with the little reflective patch applied to the 'screen never had issues in sunlight & we always drive top down

Jon
Does it power up automatically as you start the car or do you need to disconnect and connect it via the obd2 port?
