Aeroforce Gauges for your Ecoboost vehicle

CroR1 · September 11, 2015, 09:43:37 PM

i think i figured it out(one metal shim connects to both gauges and is supported by the middle plastic pole that holds the clip on), I am not really a big fan of this design, but i guess if it works. a bit of play in between of gauges and the pod, but okay...I'll make it work.

I just need to figure out what i need to do to make these turn on and off at the same time with the car, and how would i go about uploading the bull picture in the background upon start up. any help?

I believe one member had his done recently,not sure if it was nick,will try to find the post for you . Z

Thank you Z, I just PMed ddlopes, as he was the last one to get one of these.

All I need to see is what others have used as a live power source (12v) to connect these gauges as I do not want them to power up via OBD. I haven't even opened the speaker cover yet, but I would like to know what and where to splice in before i start.

I must say I like the quality of the gauges and the pod, but i'll have more to say after more use.

I wish I could help, I've never played with the pod.

If you haven't got it figured out on Monday PM or email me and I'll get Todd@Aeroforce involved to help.

Thank you Mike, I figured the pod placement part, I may give them a call myself to ask them about hard wiring, and what gauge wire to use if I run the wire to the fuse box and so. Unless someone here that has done it answers the question.

Here is my Aerforce setup. The worse part was running the wire from the OBDII port up thru the dash to the speaker cover. Lots of dash bracing in there, UGH and OUCH.

Looks very nice..Did you hard wire yours in bamsho? If not, I'm just curious how long do the gauges stay on after you shut the car off?

bamsho · September 12, 2015, 10:09:10 AM

They stay on for about 30 sec after you shut the car off, which is nice. They red lights blink some here and there, but nothing that will hurt the car. I love them. I also used some 3M trim tape to, to help hold the pod and gauges in place, just some added insurance.

Does anyone have a list of parameters that do not work with our cars on these gauges? I Selected them all, and the plan is to tune the ones that do not respond out of the system.

I printed out the user manual that is online, they can read a lot.

Great work Brian!.... But could you straighten the one on the passenger side.... Details, details.

I personally like the pods that crash offers which gives the gauges a more custom appeal to it especially when only two gauges are only being used,without the pod it reminds me of an old pair of binoculars,no dis intended. Z

Yeah I have 2 gauges in crashes pod...I really can't tell the difference in dash texture between the car and crashes pod...it's a great piece...gives it a finished look

I have one too... He uses the OEM dash vinyl and the face is the OEM woven metal (unless you order it black).
