PLX Devices OBD Gauges

Has anyone used one of these multi gauges from PLX? I'm curious what all you need to make one of these gauges work in order to read A/F, Oil Temp, Trans Temp, and Coolant Temp? Are special sensors needed? If someone has used these gauges before do they work well?

Re: PLX Devices OBD Gauges

from what i can tell from their site, the only support OBDII for the gauges. 3rd gens have OBDI, so the only thing you can do to get them to work in your car is to swap over all the wiring and computer to a OBDII setup...

Well that sucks. They sure looks good. I wish there was something that could be done to the 91 Camaro gauges, They look like **** and no one that I have found makes any custom for them. I'm really needing some custom gauge pods.....

Nice, That's part of what I'm looking for. That's amazing how much a dash with gauges are. It would be alot cheaper to buy the drilled and just buy gauges to fill it on Ebay. Do you know anyone that makes custom pods for 3rd gens? Something other then the tree light piece.
