Aeroforce makes a great product. I ran one for 5 years in my SRT.
Thanks guys - I wanted it to be "low key" and look as OEM as it can for an add on gauge. Chances are that except for me (and my son) nobody will really notice it (unless they are driving). In person it really blends into the circular shape/color/trim rings of the other gauges. The DIC info is FULLY visible - only over 120 MPH on the analog gauge is hidden. Not a big deal - and if it was, the MPH display on the Aeroforce will let ya know where you are at over 120 MPH. 
I bought the angled autometer rings previously posted and tried that manner a few ways in different locations, but was not happy. I just did not like it sitting upright on the steering column - it looked and felt too precarious to me. In the location I placed it, it is completely stable and secured.
P.S. If somebody needs the autometer angled rings - I have 2 that are new and one that I filed. PM me and they are yours. Just remember the gesture if this site ever starts offering Premium memberships to defray costs, like other sites, and become one!

I just ordered one from ecoboost power parts. I have an MKS and I like TSS's mounting solution. However, I will explore a few options for mounting after I get the gauge.
I am primarily interested in vacuum/boost and ability to measure 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. I am sure I will also like the other things it does. Looking forward to this!

Awesome Bruce, I talked ya into it. Bad influence....
Also, as I indicated to Bruce in our emails, and I will offer to any MKS owner, if you get it and need help on the install (wiring routing) I will make myself available by phone for you to talk you through it. The real trick is being able to get your hand up and inside the column without removing parts - I did it and can walk you through it too. I would offer the same to SHO etc owners, but am not positive it's set up the same - MKS has this tricky black retracting door that moves as the power tilt works - its supposed to make it look nicer, but it is prone to breaking and complicates things like this when you want to get up inside the dash!
And BiGMaC, I PMd you my direct email - check your inbox....

You can use the invert menu function to reverse the colors, and set the dimmer to "3". Configured like this you should have no problem seeing it in daylight.

Yes, I think that may be shown in the video but if not you can do this using the cyclic scan function. It's a little hard to explain if you have not set up and used this function. Basically, you choose an upper and lower parameter for 4 total screens when you set up cyclic scan. Choose the same parameter for either top or bottom parameter in each screen and you will get the result you described. If for example you only want three parameters cycling on top with one staying constant on bottom, choose the same parameter for the first two top displays then the second and third for the last two, while entering the same one 4 times for the bottom. Hope that makes sense.

Hi guys,
Just got my 3 interceptor gauges installed in my Crash center pod. Looks nothing less than amazing. Pictures soon to come. I have two quick questions if any of you could answer.
1) My three gauges are all connected via OBD2 and start up sequentially after the ignition starts. I'm trying to get all three to start up simultaneously. If I hook up a power wire as well, would this eliminate the sequential start-up?
2) Has anyone found any custom logos/ecoboost logos for the gauges start-up screen? My guages only have the options for Mustang/GT500/Harley/Powerstroke. Is there any way to create custom logos/add more?
Thanks,

Those are the only logos I was able to find as well. It would be cool if they did Have an ecoboost.
another question, has anybody been able to get the current Gear option to work? There are two parameters that indicate this could display, but when I display them, it is definitely not showing me what gear I am in. I would love to be able to display current Gear

You can use switched 12v power to make them all power up at the same time. Otherwise with OBD2 power they will be somewhat close to each other but not exact.
There is not power up screen at this time, just the optional face logos. I can look into this, no guarantees though. What would you want this to look like, the SHO Ecoboost logo? Something different? Someone sent me this once, anyone recognize it? If it's someone elses logo I don't want to use it.

I have not found any way to display current gear on the SHO yet. Those parameters worked on the Ford trucks I think.

I know FMC was using that / this logo exclusively in the pre-release advertising material for various items.
Not sure if they possess proprietary rights on it, or not though.
I've heard horror stories over the years of FMC's legal eagles crack'n the cease & desist whip pretty hard....
Suppose it can tried & found out the difficult way.
Haha
