Anyone know of a small digital coolant temp gauge that will fit in a single din under

I was looking to fit a digital water temp gauge and volt meter under my stereo in the single din location. Was going to fiber glass over and make custom cutouts for the gauges. Something like this





Although the display looks a bit big im looking for something a little smaller

why not use a scangauge 2? I think it would fit in that slot easily and you can decide from many parameters.

Mainly because i have a eco meter hooked up and sitting behind my steering wheel i like to use it for a rpm and mph gauge sometimes but scangauge is a good idea i dont know why i didnt think of that. I might compromise and just use a scan gauge i think it would fit perfectly for my application.

you can get an obd2 Y adapter and use both... you may want to check on current draw but I think you can do it. I know a few people that have daisy chained two scangauge 2s together.

^ You can definitely chain 2 Scangauges together. The ports are built in and I think I have the cable for that.

I think with two scangauges all you need is some CAT5 cable and ends. (linear logic sells such cables but at a premium)

he is trying to have is ecometer and a scangauge. I have heard the ecometer draws more current but that means very little without numbers and I haven't really looked it up.
