I'm out of the office today but will check on this Monday and see what I can find out for you.

There is not a direct interface between the controller and a laptop at the moment. You'd still need to swap the SD card back and forth. Sorry!

Regarding the gauges. Yes, the 3 3/8 as well as the 4 or 5 sizes in the speedos and the tachs.

Now this being said, I know having all these variations could quickly turn into a nightmare for you all.

What I asking is would it be possible to have custom choices in one or two or your premier lines, where the customer could pick and choose exactly what they what for their car. (Sizes of the gauges, several bezel choices, Chrome, Billet, Black ect, and layout)

I know an up charge would be necessary, but I just went through the gauges I would really like to have in my car. Once the gauges (Nexus) were picked out, and all the items that go with it, it can run $3000+. If I'm at that level of commitment, it sure would be a great thing to get "EXACTLY" what you want.

Personally I think the 200 MPH speedos are great, However there are a fair number of cars that could push that speed.

Personally, I would like to see something in the range of 240 mph or a bit more. I have been involved in Bonneville on and off for several years and while not exactly necessary for that application, since you can have the gauges replay your last run, there are items of insight that can be gleaned with a good speedo added to the gauge selection. By using the correct gauges in the car being recorded, and a good GPS outside for cross referencing, a more complete understanding of the run could be understood and proper adjustments to the car cold then be made.

Also, will you gauges PLEASE be capable of running on a MAC Laptop also?

Finally, most of these cars are custom built works of art in one sense, and engineering marvels that are actually used to their full potential.

Auto meter in my book are the best you can put in your car and should take the time to realize that there are those customers out ther that really do need or at least really will buy the Custom parts they want for there cars.

I will be one.

Sincerely,
