Hi All,
Do they make a 2 1/16" gauge (like something from autometer) that monitors outside temperature?


Thanks
Phil

This is the closest thing I have found.



I think I will just wait for someone like Autometer to release a phantom type of this gauge. I have a strong feeling that I will be waiting a long time.

This is actually really useful, even though it doesnt really fit aesthetically into what I had in mind.

The prices on ebay range anywhere from ~30 to ~70 usd. What model is your particular one? Any downfalls?

i picked it up at costco for like $60-$65. installation is not too bad, i hardwired the power to the fuse panel so the indiglo light wont run off the battery. the temp wire just runs under the dash and through the firewall to the engine bay just like stereo wire. i have the temp sensor mounted in the CAI hole (dont have CAI anymore) so its away from all the heat somewhat.
