CJ Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I am looking for ideas and / or products to mount two more Defi BF gauges in my car. I cannot use the air vents or clock as these are all being used already and cannot use the din socket either as this has now beeen seconded for use by a touch screen. I also have an A pillar mount holding 2 gauges. Any suggestions? If you have pics too then that would be ace Edited for spelling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Upper glove box, you can fit 3 in there but they'd have to be non-essential ones that you don't need to check regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 Maybe....but would have preferred to have had something mounted to the side of the dash surround on the left as you look at it. Is there such a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 If you're getting the touch screen TV system, what about getting the HKS camp system and running a few on screen dials?? http://www.takakaira.co.jp/performance/hks/200_2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I can get the Border stuff in too These will be about £149.50 for the two pod jobby The three pod top replacement will come in at £149.50 too1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Mark Kindell has the HKS Camp system in his soop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 Ben / Peter, I am very tempted by the HKS camp system but have heard a couple of adverse reports regarding quality etc. I am led to believe that this is quite old technology eh? Another thing I was told was that this could not work direct through my "carputer" and is powered by a stand alone chip thingy (you can see how techy I am eh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 It has been around for a few years....don't know anything more :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Yes CJ, it has been around for a while, but I have not heard any bad things about it. Regards you having a carputer or whatever, I think that the camp system only requires an AV input, most decent TVs will have 2 inputs, my Kenwood Touch screen has two. Just link the carputer to one AV input and the camp to the other. You should then be able to listen to a CD, whilst having the visual display of the HKS camp. This is how I see it working. Some clever person may even be able to add it into the carputer as an active background or something on Windows? Depends what you are running.

CJ Posted January 21, 2005 Author Share Posted January 21, 2005 Thanks Ben I do like the idea as it offers good value for money when you consider how much a couple of more gauges and mounts are going to cost. I wi have to post up in the traders sections and ask how much they currently run at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted January 21, 2005 Author Share Posted January 21, 2005 I have looked at some sites and am a little confused. They are selling the CAMP system (maybe Oxy should buy one eh? ) and also sell the CAMP junction box which they say is for adding Meter series sensors. If I wanted the system to monitor my oil temp and water temperature, would I need this junction box or would the Water / Oil temp harness plug directy into the CAMP main unit?
