Digital MPH Display using OBD2

I am interested in putting a digital MPH display on top of the existing MPH meter - something that connects to OBD2 and displays the MPH using actual numbers. I HATE HATE HATE meters - had a digital dash in the 80s and I miss it. I know I can use the 7" display to do this via Android Auto but I almost always have maps running and I prefer to see the MPH in front of me anyway. Does anyone know of a way of doing this mod for the 2018 Fit?

If you have an android phone, check out the Torque app.

I have. I need something that fits nicely over the meter behind the steering wheel. I could tape the phone there with duct tape, but I prefer a prettier solution.

What about an Ultraguage or Scanguage?

Or if you'd like to use your phone, get a magnetic mount. I use one and it's very stable.

Ultragauge and Scangauge are closer to what I am looking for, but those particular products are surprisingly old-looking with low-res cluttered displays. I did find something that might be exactly what I need, but now I'm going to whine about the price at $266:

Autometer Cobalt Digital Speedometer Gauge - Digital - (Size: 3 3/8" (85.7mm)) - (Range: 160 MPH or 260 km/h) - 6988 - Guaranteed Auto Parts - Your Leader in Automotive Performance

It's round and might fit right into the existing round space in front of the factory meter. With any of the rectangular ones I would have to hand construct a special mount.


Still, bigger numbers and a lower price would make me happier.

Oh! Oh! I found it! I found it!

It comes in several colors, including blue to match my Fit. Now I just have to find out if it will fit the Fit and what I need for a "sending unit". Stay tuned...

Sorry, I meant this one – just the speedometer. Even cheaper!
