Are you looking for pics of a 3 gauge pod or just a single gauge?

i have crash's 3 port dash pod on my sho, but on my chally i wanted a single obd gauge & ended up with this one. doesn't look like much but amazingly has worked great & i know one of the setting is boost. although not needed on chally. it also has a competition mode to run 1/4 mile.

I have crash's pod also and it is awesome!... but i don't know if it will fit the Xport.  Check out bpd's driver side A pillar pod construction for ideas... both are posted here.

I've seen pics of someone's setup that mounted 2 gauges to the steering column, can't find them to share though.

Aeroforce has them for their Interceptor OBD2 gauge.  That's the one posted here somewhere. I think it was either brucelink or TSS... plus you can monitor and record dozens of selectable parameters.  PLX devices has the same thing on their gages, but gauge install is a tad more complicated.

the more that i looked at the obd gauges the less i liked the plx, that's why i went to the cheap on my chall. to me if i had the expertise i'd run what larry & another couple guys on here are running, the wireless connect to a nexus running torque. i flat out love the way larry's looks & the info he gets from it like kr is just impressive.

Here's an image of my set up, as it was then, and still remains to this day:

The center pod definitely would not work in the explorer, as the explorer has 2 air vents and the center speaker there. The pillar pod looks like it would work though, but wiring might be more complicated as the X doesn't have a speaker located there

Mike I agree completely on the PLX and truthfully their resale availability for questions has been less than what I expect.... their eye candy is nicer, not the gauge.  I love Larry's setup too... but want to use the pod crash built me for 3 gauges.  With 3 Aeroforce I think I can set 2 to display 2 parameters and the third to scroll through all available OBDII info... The longer I look the more I'm thinking 3 Aeroforce.

nothing wrong with your idea at all. the only problem is your limited to what the obd monitors & can you split obd to mutiple  gauges.. I don't know about the sho, but the chally doesn't monitor oil pressure. wideband afr, or egt. now all those require hitting the engine somewhere to get the readings, so are more expensive to install. i really like the wideband afr as it immediately tells me if air/fuel mixture is right. egt I like as it measures engine temp. on my obd it's got some info like air input temp/ coolant temp, boost, things like fuel trim by bank. load rating , torque. my chally actually has a setting to show oil pressure the only problem in that mode can't surf the sirius stations, i like my toons a lot. really like the way todd did his aeroforce off the column. if money was no object would do the wideband afr, egt & an aeroforce in chris pod & another aeroforce like todd did his. but the thing i don't know is if you can split the obd to multiple devices, this is what the plx was doing, but saw a couple bad reviews & just to many boxes to make it work. choices/choices just stay away from prosport evos. like i said dynamite gauge at night time.
