Ordered the gauge pod via an eStore cross-border. It took 4-5 weeks to get and turned out to be fairly $$ but it looks clean and fits in with the dash layout well. I more or less followed pdx650 documented installation--- saved me time and led me to the gauge pod installation!

Purchased on-line, ELM327 Chinese bluetooth OBDII dongle for $14 shipped!! Combined with an old Samsung smartphone, I'm happily monitoring everything!
