Default Magden Gauge System

I just ran across the Magden Computer Gauge System. I tried to send the magden auto guy a PM but evidently he hasn't checked his PM's so his inbox is full...

So, does anyone have this setup? It looks beast but I want to know how well it performs...

Also, can you switch back to DVD's, CD controls, etc. while the gauges are up? Also, can you play CD's or the radio while the gauges are up?

If someone has this setup, then please fill me in.

Here is there website: http://www.magden-auto.com/

I don't really know where this thread should go so if this is a bad spot feel free to move it to a better suited location.

Thanks,

HT

That's what I thought. I just wanted to see how it works along with the radio. I'm not a fan of the physical gauges (looks wise) so I figured if this actually works well I may think about it in the future...

It states it is for a OBD-11 port.
S197s have the OBD-II port.
Maybe its a typo?

How about the cheaper MSD DashHawk?
