This talk about patents, you have no idea what they are patenting. Maybe they are not just hacking into a patented technology, I.E, the CAN-bus, which is owned by Bosch (who is the REAL pioneer) and requires licensing to use. If they don't have licensing, i would suggest at least looking into that. Equity management co's love going after people like this, and penalties are pretty stiff for after the fact usage. Even as far as court ordered recalls and destruction of products that are not licensed. It's fun walking around SEMA and documenting who a serious discussion needs to be had with in regards to licensing.

Well what happens when I run 17 PSI? this gauge becomes obsolete LOL

Then you should be paying attention to driving rather then reading your gauges, but i get it, both of these are super gimmicky IMO. I doubt anyone serious to run that high of boost would rely on a hacked gauge for vital information.

I just believe CP-e rushed out the video because of the in-dash Vishnu came out with. They didn't want to feel the public believe they copied from them. At end of the day, we the users are getting the same feature on different gauges. Plain & simple.

The fuel gauge is scaled and isn't vague. 0 is 0 boost, quarter is 5, half is 10, 3/4 is 15 and full is 20.

Maybe not on Metric SPEEDOs since it's in KM/h and scale goes up to 260Km/h = 26 PSI

What's the difference btw knowing you're going 110 vs 130 vs 100. You're likely going to jail either way and with the tach and what gear you're in you'll have an idea... That and by how fast your swishing by traffic...

Not to pile on, but for those with 6AT the dash doesn't display what gear you're in unless you drive in manual mode. Tach can't be used to estimate speed in this case.

Not sure if you guys know but how will this apply to canadian cars etc? We dont have mph on our dash. Only kph. So when are going to guess at what psi we're at?
