motoSycho 690 Posted August 24, 2019 I'm going to be changing out the original XF dash for aftermarket gauges. First thing I need is a cheapish speedo to get me out of trouble for a bit. I want to use a GPS speedo. Anyone got any experience or feedback on something like this? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/85mm-GPS-speedometer-200km-h-Odometer-For-Car-Truck-motorcycle-OverSpeed-Alarm-/263793049711?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2redrovers 21,400 Posted August 24, 2019 No input to add but that looks pretty good. I might look at this for an option in my truck, especially if you can get one in a retro look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2redrovers 21,400 Posted August 24, 2019 The 5" with quad gauge is similar to the ones in my truck but that's a big chunk of coin. Not quite the right look on the faces I think but if I had to use something, they'd still be ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hendrixhc 10,920 Posted August 24, 2019 You can always just use a gps app on your phone temporarily to get you by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did think about that, or using the TomTom, but I have to get a speedo gauge at some stage, and comparing the EBay cheapies to the more expensive jobbies I'll be buggered if I can tell the difference in the way they look. Unless they all use the same casings but different internals??? They seem to jump from up to $150 or so, straight to $600 for a name brand. For the $92 I'll just grab one and give it a go. 1 2redrovers reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bear351c 10,270 Posted August 25, 2019 I agree with james ^ ^. Just get a HUD (head up display) app on your mobile. Works great, just pop the phone on the dashboard and it reflects off the windscreen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
