I'd like to see a side by side comparion of this and a night time Elgin in it's lit up glory. The Elgin dash will look more like the intrument panel of a retro plane cockpit. Go Elgin! I may end up changing my oriignal don't like vote to like. Is that even possible.

Vote not changeable in this poll, I checked

With MPH written on the face of the dash, I'm guessing there's no metric/standard toggle switch. So every time you drive up to Canada you have to convert your speed to KM/H in your head? Every car I've been with an analog dash in has had KM/H on the speedometer (granted in much smaller numbers), the few digital dashes have had metric/standard toggles.

By law, the dash has to be able to display both mph and kph. Whether that's accomplished by secondary markings or electronically is up to the manufacturer.

Thanks for posting the dash viseo

Thanks for posting this Joshua, as neither I nor goofyone were able to get a video of it in Charlotte due to technical problems with the prototype.

Looks great, especially taken in 1080p.

You mentioned in the video the 'oil temperature' light in the middle. Isn't that a water temperature sensor instead? I wonder what temperature it is set to go off?

I also see on the left what appears to be a light for low coolant. That would be nice to have.

My 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter did not have km on the analog dash. Now that I think about it, maybe the Digital panel could have been changed to km. I'll check on that.

For both cars and motorcycles?

I smell a conspiracy of admins on the Elgin no vote change or you just made an executive decision. lol

If I edited the poll to allow this option it would probably erase all votes to date... not gonna screw around with it

OK, everyone, I'm going to eat my hat on this one. When I perused the FMVSS 101 reg, it required MPH or MPH and km/h. So it seems displaying metric isn't a requirement.
