I don't like it!

21. OXYGEN SENSOR B1-O2 bank 1 sensor in millivolts
22. OXYGEN SENSOR B2-O2 bank 2 sensor in millivolts
23. RUN TIME MINS- engine run time is tenths of seconds since last engine start **
24. BATTERY VOLTAGE- Alternator/battery output voltage **
25. IAC POSITION- Idle Air Control counts (position of Idle Air Control valve)
26. PULSE WIDTH B1-injector Pulse Width for bank 1 (8 cylinder engines)
28. ENGINE LOAD- calculated Engine Load (0-100%) **
29. ENGINE OIL PRESSURE (some 8 cylinder engines) **
30. INTAKE AIR 2 – Intake Air Temp. downstream of intercooler (some supercharged applications such as the Cobalt or HHR SS
SS, Ion Redline).
31. Miles Per Gallon 1- instantaneous fuel economy for gas vehicles

I already have in my standard SS Info center and dash

outside air temp
coolant temp
stabilitrak,
traction control,
ESC,
competition driving mode,
launch mode

The only thing I really lack is the G meter and colorful display with my aftermarket Aeroforce scan meter. It really offers as much or more and I keep my storage.

It is easy to install in 5 min and has a warranty. It really the same thing as GM's just taken to the next level.

The Chevy one is nice but I like the one I bought better. Just my call.

Note my list of the Aeroforce meter is editied to remove most of the features that it offeres for the non Ecotech engine. I may have missed something or not added a feature somewhere.

 

yeah, the RPD is for performance oriented people, not packrats.

 

Naa, it is just really ugly.....

 

The only good thing about it is the fact that Onstar will be activated when you rearend that semi-truck while your busy playing with this gameboy wannabee.

 

Yup, here we go again. I bought a new '65 Chevelle SS and if you ordered the tachometer it went in the place where the clock was and the clock was mounted in a pod on top of the dashboard whether you wanted it or not. My father worked at the factory and even he couldn't stop the clock installation.

Some things never change.

 

This is a horrible spot for the display. As much as I want this. I don't want it there.

Is there a way to get this install in a vehicle that didn't have one (in a different spot of course) or will it not be compatible with the wiring?

 

it looks stupid. i wouldnt buy that.
