I'd like to integrate the display into the top of the steering column cover ftw :)


Cant you adjust the dimmer on it BBB(parking lights input wire)?
or day/night mode?
or OLED timeout?

unless you have a older unit....

You should be able to turn it off at night if you'd like - run your finger over the buttons down. Depends on what firmware version you have.. This is according to the manual, from a wishful owner of the VBG1, came looking because I heard there may have been a group buy on the forum.

Indeed it can be turned off :oops:
I do want it more centrally mounted though ;)

I'm sure if we got EOI's listed then a batch in RHD would happen...
But I asked a year or two ago about GB pricing and it's a "no" as they're made to order.

So we could save on combined shipping :)

It looks like it is designed/written (at least the app) a lot better than torque. Torque, aesthetically and functionally is quite poor I've found, though once you get it set up, it's fine.

I'd be interested to go this way if it works well, I've had no issues and torque does exactly what I want, but this app just looks so much easier to navigate and set up. It also matches OEM gauges. something torque needs badly.

In any case, v. interested to see how it goes!

Was that $153 the $130USD pricetag and he's graciously shipped it at the same rate for the sake of testing? Quite expensive. Then again our dollar isn't great again either haha.
