Default Five gauge pods, I can only see 3. What do you use in the info pod?



I can only see the middle three gauges, and even then sometime just the center one. I have to lean in and move my hands to see the gas gauge.

I leave the "Info pod" on Torque split, because its pretty benign and has range and time/tempi on the top and bottom.

What's your go to Info Pod?

Usually go back and forth between tire pressures and fluid temp/pressure gauges.

Boost
oil temp
coolent tenp
battery voltage
oil pressure.

I know oil and coolant info is in the other gauges but much easier to see on the info.

Mostly on tire pressures, but I reference g force meter when needed and sometimes have it on temps

Had the same problem. Adjust the steering wheel till you can see all the gauges.

Top: Compass

Middle Section 1 - Oil Temperature
Middle Section 2 - Oil Pressure
Middle Section 3 - Blank
Middle Section 4 - Blank

Bottom: Range to Empty

I figure first I want to know basically what direction I'm going. I always use a compass if I have it available. Then I like to know when the oil temp gets above 150. IDK why. Maybe I read it somewhere. Oil pressure because if it drops, I want know (although I am sure there is an idiot light somewhere that would go off.)

Range is last because I like to keep an eye on it.

The two lines are blank because I prefer to keep information in my eye line to stuff I need to know to make a driving decision. I can't imagine why I would want to know battery voltage, or turbo boot pressure, but that's just me.

This screen is what's tied to my "Diamond" button on the wheel.

The problem is that the steering wheel need to be adjusted to drive the car properly, which is a higher priority than seeing the gauges. That means adjusting the steering column so that an imaginery extension of the steering column intersects your upper body on a line drawn between your shoulders. Fortunately, you can do this with the 911.

On many modern cars, you can't adjust the steering wheel low enough. IN many cases, the lowest position is still two ro more inches too high.

boost
oil temp
water temp
oil pressure

Those to me are the ones to watch when driving hard/on track.

I like these as well. If someone is concerned about their battery, battery voltage can one of the lines.
