Looks a neat bit of kit, a shade on the steep side though?

Opinions?

Looks cool. I'm wouldn't mind one but bit expensive

i've been eyeing these up for a while. i think i posted a link somewhere on the website last year. i'd imagine it would be cheaper to ship one over from the USA than that!

the other thing is i'm not sure if things are all still Americanised, like temps in Fahrenheit and things, or whether that's been changed for the UK. it would annoy me if they hadn't been changed (especially at that price)

Unless it reads values as they show on vag com in which case would read in deg C not F?

demo video reads in F. tbh i can't imagine it's too hard to get it to change the value from C to F

I can't seem to find the answer on the p3 website though. If it was half the money if invest but can't quite justify £350 for it

Gauge Modes

Boost: This mode will show vacuum and boost. Depending on settings in the config menu this may be from VAG ecu data or an external analog sensor. Boost is read in PSI by default and Vacuum is inHg. If you configure the gauge to metric boost will be in BAR.

Coolant: This mode will show your current coolant temp. Unlike the needle on your dash, this will show you exactly the temp that your engine is currently running at, and is configurable between Celsius & Fahrenheit.

Air: Air intake temperature. This is the reading of the temperature of the air entering the engine, and is configurable between Celsius & Fahrenheit.

Igntn: Actual ignition timing. This mode will show you the ignition timing of your engine in real-time.

Egt: Exhaust Gas Temperature. This is the temp of the exhaust gas as calculated by your ECU.

Throttle: Actual throttle plate position. Use this mode to see how your car changes the actual drive by wire throttle blade in relation to what your foot tells it to do.

rp-Shift: RPM readout. It can be handy to use this mode to see an exact RPM or to record/playback and see your shifts.

Speed: Actual roadspeed direct from VSS. This is the actual roadspeed value of the car, uncorrected. This is the raw value, therefore it may not match your cluster which tends to read high in many cars.

0-60: Zero to sixty Performance Timer. Come to a stop and this mode will read “Rdy…” The gauge is ready for you to accelerate to 60. As you accelerate the gauge will time you and automatically stop when you hit 60, leaving your time on the screen. When you slow to zero again the gauge will change to “Rdy…”

Batt: Battery Voltage. This is the voltage of your cars power system, anything between 13-14.5 volts while running is normal.

That's explains everything

I got a scangauge 2, does all the same for £120. Mine is positioned under the heater controls about ash tray.

Looks cool but for the price I'll be keeping my polar fis advanced that does all ^^that and more for less money.

But that's dependant on you having highline. For those of us who don't (and who want a Knight Rider -esque look to the car), it looks like a good buy.

and for us poor 8P owners who would love Polar FIS but don't have the option

Racediagnostics Liquid 2 gauge does a lot more for less money.

Racediagnostics Liquid 2 gauge does a lot more for less money. 

But with it you lose airvent functionality completely. At least with the p3cars one, you still get a working airvent.

I was looking at Ian's over on the RForum. He has one in his R and loves it.
