Gauging Intrest....Group Buy 5 Gauges in 1

Hey guys i have this idea that came into my head that im shure alot of 7 owners would love what do you think of 5 gauges in 1??? my brother works for some thermo coupling company and has a bunch of digital thermometers.. well he explained to me that he has one that can monitor the tempature of 5 different things
exp

Oil Temp
Water Temp
Air Intake Temp
EGT
Tranny Temp (autos)

i already got everything to work only thing im trying to fix right now is the thermometer only works on 110v so im looking for an inverter thats small and works the same as those big things im just wondering if anyone here would be intrested in a product like this??

Ill take a pic of the product tommorow and post it for right now just looking at intrest
Thanks

forgot to add that you can get the thermometer to automatically change temps every 10 sec or so or you can do it manually by pressing a green button it has...
Thanks

Hell, I'd be game. I got an in-car inverter for my radio comms stuff, so how's about a price for this without the inverter?

not to shure yet i actually want to do it as a package deal... but im shure to start off i can work something out i was thinking about $200 +shipping comes with the
Thermometer
5 thermo couplings
instruction how to install everything


of course you know you would need to tap into everything you want to put this thermo coupling in....also again not to shure on the price but remember your getting rif of 5 gauges for 1 that does the same as all those together

yea i can upload the pics tommorow if someone could host it for me would appreciate it.... everything would come with instruction on how to install it...ill give you an example if you wanted to get your oil tempature you would tap a hole into your oil pan and thread the thermo coupling in and connect it to the back of the digital thermometer and thats it... does the rest automatically switch to each reading every 10 seconds or so...

im not shure on that .. the correct way would be to drop your oil tank tap it and put it back on connect the coupling and fill it back up with oil and really just make shure it doesnt leak =/

LOL... theres a freaking reason it only runs on 110/220 AC... I'll laugh my *** off if you actually put that in your car. Industrial application != Automotive application

Edit: and stop bumping every half hour, its still on the first page...

If it changes every 10 seconds and there are 5 readouts it goes through, that means you wont see your water temp or oil temp until 40 seconds goes by. Doesn't that seem kinda bad? What if it was on the rise right as it changed and went up while you couldn't view it? In an s5 where the stock gauge is a no warning until it's too late, that wouldn't be very helpful.

yeah "Back to the Future" called and Michael J. Fox needs his thermo transducer speedometer back for his car. He said you borrowed it to long and him and the professor needs to get back to 1986.

Don't shoot the messanger

Ddub its up to you... you can program the amount of seconds you want it to take to pass threw each thermo sensor the little yellow screw (in the picture) turn it to the left the faster it passes threw each sensor turn it to the right longer it takes and the green button is to do it manually....

you guys can rag on me all you like i was trying to come out with something that works and is in expensive...still plan to make it work if noone is intrested ill do it on my car and take pics ...
