Not real happy with autometer
i have the auto meter untralite II. close to $1000. the gas gauge i had to re-program to read the chrysler sending unit. not a big deal don't really have a problem with that gauge.. i made it read E with a few gallons in it because i would rather read E early then late..lol. it goes through the first half tank a lot faster then the second half but thats what ya get with after market gauges. it is what it is i guess.
now the speedo is a real pain in the ***. installed and wired it like the directions say. calibrated it and its within 1 mph of my two gps units but it bounces around also. not as bad as yours but maybe 10 mph or so. i called the usless tech number and they say the speedo is picking up interference somewhere. they say i need to have a separate wire for power to the speedo even though their wire diagram clearly shows different. i say ok and try it.. nope same thing.. i call those usless a-holes back and this time the tech gets nasty and says i'm picking up interference from the ign wiring and the speedo sensor wire needs to be run a different route then the other wires and in some kine of shielding wrap (forget the name of it), yea ok.. screw pulling all that wire i just put in there out and re-doing it.. my question is why don't the directions say anything about this crap? id they mentioned it i would have done what it said. the tech dept is usless and its not worth even calling those clown.
in the future if i even decide to use autometer gauges i will be sure yo either use a GPS speedo ro a old cable set up and not bother with this electronic bull ****.
