Yes, the core gauge is limited to whatever the car's ECU is willing to give up. However, the gauge can receive data from external sensors (many of them). The net benefit, IMO, is that you can have one gauge and it will read everything you need and it eliminates the need for what I did - making 5 holes in my dash. In most cars, it would be easy to find a spot for one 52mm gauge and mount it in a way that would blend better than gauge pods. I don't think there's anything revolutionary here, just lots in a nice tidy package.
