I really like the analogue Stack/VDO style that beedub has in his ashtray/oddments slot - but have also thought of using a small wide LCD or OLED screen to allow customisable gauges like I have for my gaming PC, where I can quickly switch between gauge groups/pages to see other metrics.
...but 'basic' gauges are probably going to be less problematic

You could use a old phone or small tablet running the torque app,mmm-five said:I really like the analogue Stack/VDO style that beedub has in his ashtray/oddments slot - but have also thought of using a small wide LCD or OLED screen to allow customisable gauges like I have for my gaming PC, where I can quickly switch between gauge groups/pages to see other metrics.

Here's mine ... Oil pressure , boost and AFR .
Stack pro stepper units each , with stack data logger unit in the glox box .
Sadly the gauge pod which was imported from a high end BMW parts manufacturer from Japan made the part NLA. Which is a shame as it's such high quality and looks oem.

I plan to buy an android unit that's made to look like the idrives in the new bmws. Pull out the old nav system and install there. Should look oem but be able to check gauges etc. Not sure if the gauges would be doable but I'm sure with a bit of effort it would!

Tempted by that solution as well - was thinking about upgrading the sat Nav to one of the Android units anyway. Skyer were working on a base plate for the Android head units with original sat Nav cut out so will see what they come up with.

Gauges are doable
