Here is an aftermarket install radio(JVC) and the Scangauge 2. Took a little work, but the scangauge is the best part, and it was the easiest thing to install. Anyone else install aftermarket radios yet?

What's a "scangauge"?

Reply to This

instead of paying for the clock and Tach on the dash I installed the new version of the scangauge. Google it, and you will find a ton of information on it. The new model that you can get is only 149.95 if you look around with free shipping. If attaches to the OBD port under your dash and gives you all the information that your computer is doing. Real time RPm's battery voltage, speed , water temp just to name a few. It tracks fuel economy, horsepower, alows you to clear any check engine codes, and helps you identify them if they ever happen. Check out the companies website. It does a ton of things that would take me forever to list here, but it is a good investment I think. Works on any car 1996 and newer. You can tell it when you fill up, how much you pay for gas, and it will tell you how much it costs per mile to run your car.

Very nice install. Someone should try taking the guts out of the Scanguage and making a custom mount - not for the faint of heart and probably not worth the risk of trashing it :)

if we all could be as adventurous as you, my friend! dis-assembling something slightly larger than a pen! to save space!!!! ROTFLMAO
i'd like to get the display inside the speedo! not gonna happen! that is my install, i got the same double DIN panel and the SG2 will reside below the radio (with a hidden compartment, I have a couple of guns that will fit there!)

Looks like that should work good for your setup. I have a few small guns that would work well in there also... My Kel-Tec comes to mind. But when I am not working, I still carry a Full size Sig P245. Check out the photo... See if you can guess my occupation.

i got a beretta and an intratec that will fit, i've had my eye on a kel-tec P-3AT for a while.

if we swapped a few panels, we could have a couple of black and whites!

J Jay, do some searches as we have covered a simple mod to recline the seats quite far back. As for the LIKES.. the smart is one of the few truly unique cars out there in the field of blasé beige. Like Jack stated, these cars make people smile both…

I'm not sure I understand your comment. There are 2 aftermarket cruise control systems available to us here in North America. Surely, if the engineers who developed these systems were able to make them work with '08 & '09 smarts, MB's engineers coul…

It was not a mistake, it had more to do with the lack of space on the smarts drive by wire computer and its allowable inputs. There was simply no more room for it in the current design.
