For anyone outside the US and Canada who is waiting for the day when they can finally order the gauge, today's the day!
I opened it up for worldwide shipping.
I'm busy making new product over the weekend and will start shipping on Monday.

Just a thought ... With your 3D printing skills could you make an add on to mount the gauge on the dash, or elsewhere? You would need to add a ground to the harness, and you might not have dimming when the headlights are activated. But you'd still get what I consider to be a valuable gauge set.

The cable from the "black box" to the display is relatively thick & stiff (it has 8 individual strains), that means routing the cable would be an issue.
When I have some time on my hands I want to look into doing this with a wireless display, which would talk to the "black box" via WiFi or Bluetooth.
Then it would only need a ground wire and a power wire. The box currently uses only 0.5 Watt, meaning that the wires could be very thin, like 28 gauge, easy to route & hide.
And another project for "future Chris" :-)

Either way I'm in the market for a full leather dashboard so it makes sense to just buy a new one with the cutout. I'm must dumbfounded on the wiring part.

Routing the wires from the dash down isn't that bad. Tieing into the CANBus was less comfortable!!!!!
Is the wart housing a part available from Porsche?

Thank you for doing what Porsche should have in the first place! Now for the ideas…😀
For turbos, this is the perfect place to put a boost gauge that is safe to watch under max boost and doesn’t top out at 17psi like the cluster gauge (higher readings data is available somewhere as you can get them from data logs).
What about a simple, actually functional lap timer actuated by a single pull of the stalk unlike the idiotic ergo of the sport chrono.

About the idea with the laptimer: Yeah, I thought about that, but there are so many really good after-market laptimers out there with tons of functionality, that I'm afraid that the # of people who would actually want that is too small.
