digital dashes

[<stealthloader@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  A company called Dakota Digital also offers "squared" gauges and they are
rather easy to install.  I have used them in three different cars/trucks.
The only down side, other than they cost more than a regular gauge, is that
the sending units do not come with the gauge.

>> Hi,
