PLX gauges... anyone use them?
I saw them last year at PRI in Orlando,.. looked like a nice gauge setup. We're about to order a wide band multi gauge setup from them but,..just wanted to get some feedback and to see if a vendor here sells them. Heard some good things through the grapevine but nobody local.( plxdevices.com)
Thanks,..
Thanks,..

Yes, I'm using them: Two A-Pillar mounted PLX Devices DM-100 multi-function, full color, remotely controlled, organic displays, which are fed by four PLX Modules: (a) OBD-II, (b) Vac/Boost, (c) Fuel Pressure and (d) AFR. Additionally, the pods contain alcohol pressure status (green/red) and secondary fuel pump system activation (blue) LEDs.
I also have an Innovate Motorsports LC-1 Wideband 02 Kit for logging & tuning using EFI Live V2. That wire sits over in the passenger side to connect into my laptop.
Only issue I have had was (1) one bad display, which they replaced and (2) FM radio interference, which can be a pain if you are at the track, listening to the radio to be called to the staging lanes while the gauges are on.

If your showing a picture I can't see it at work so, sorry bout that.
It's the PLX multi gauge, "200" I believe. It is digital,.. and can have a multiple style backround,.. which you can download or they will even custom make for you to match your own cluster/interior.

WOW.. I am loving that interior.
Can you PM me what type of Sparco wheel that is?

That wheel is the Sparco Mugello, See: http://www.sparcousa.com/psteering_street.asp?id=290
I use the button on the left for my horn and the one on the right for my transbrake
Sorry to take the thread off topic for a second... Now, back to PLX

So what do you do about the radio interference on the street?It would suck to turn off the gauges to listen to the radio.
Thanks
Thanks

I have three DM-200 displays, as well as their Wideband module, their Oil Pressure module ( that I use as a fuel pressure module), and their vacuum/Boost module. One of my DM-200s is also the OBDII version so I can watch all the internal parameters in the PCM.
I removed the gages from their cases and had Beers make a custom plate for me. Here is the finished project:
Here is one as it came in the box:
Here is the AFR module with the vacuum boost shell below it:
All three display modules:
Here is the plate getting fitted:
and the remote:

I am not sure if others using the PLX gauges have encountered the same FM radio interference or not. It may depend on what sensors you're running. I have not spent much time trying to isolate the exact wire that would need to be shielded.
I like the displays and flexibility they offer. I also like being able to pull peak readings after taking a pass in the car, etc.
