Boost Guage for LX

[k3v11n]

Anybody install an aftermarket boost guage on the Hatchback LX 1.5T? Looking for mounting options since the LX doesn't come with one from factory.

I'm assuming you have the hatchback, because that is the only LX with the 1.5T. The Sedan and Coupe LX and EX have the 2.0L NA engine

Yes. Hatchback. Original post fixed. Thanks.

i can hook my phone to show a boost gauge and had it mounted to the radio face but it vibrates to much. i'll take a picture .

top pic: samsung with torque mounted, on the face of an aftermarket head unit adapter bezel using ram mount stuff. view angle is bad, will need further parts. it also hangs out way farther than it should, causing vibration.
bottom pic: garmin gps mounted to same but using proper items to make a better view. the gps is vibration free.

can change between the two with a careful snap.

plan on changing it a little so the devices cover the head unit a little more.
cost was cheap but requires tearing into things.

Which Bluetooth OBD2 reader are you using?

i'm sure other cheaper ones will work also. cant seem to get coolant temp on mine.

got it off amazon costs/paid more then i should have but got it way quicker. get an extender cable to go with what ever you get.

That's actually a really nice setup for an LX good work

still waiting to see other options here. before i turn the mounting bracket around 180 which will swing the device almost directly in front of the head unit. to do that i just have to tear the radio apart. piece o cake.

Think this works for Apple iOS?

Probably wait for an a-pillar gauge pod.
