One gauge.
The whole dash.

A round, hardwired display paired to your iPhone over Bluetooth. Weather. Navigation. Music. Notifications. Lap times. Themed how you want it. Laid out where you want it.

The story

I spent two years staring at the same factory cluster.

Same fonts. Same readouts. Same energy as the day I drove the car off the lot. Meanwhile the rest of the build kept moving — wheels, suspension, interior trim, every detail considered. The dash never caught up.

Aftermarket gauges didn't fix it. They added clutter where I wanted clarity. Phone apps weren't real — they vanished the moment the screen locked. Nothing I could buy felt like it belonged in the car I was building.

So I built it myself.

A round display, hardwired in. An iPhone app that talks to it directly over Bluetooth — no cloud, no subscription, no middleman. Weather pulled from where you actually are. Navigation mirrored from the phone in your pocket. Music, notifications, lap times, vehicle data. Themed how you want. Laid out where you want. On a screen designed to match the dash you already love.

This is my answer to a question nobody else was asking: what if the gauge was as considered as the rest of the car?

If you've ever looked at your dashboard and thought almost — this is for you.

Customized themes, screens, and layouts
— Yours alone

One gauge. Set your way.

Six themes — five we made, one you make. Nine screens you can show, hide, or shuffle. The math says millions of unique layouts. The point is that one of them is yours.

Where it goes

Drops into the dash you already love.

Standard 52mm pod fitment means it slides into a single-gauge mount, A-pillar pod, or center console. Whether you drive a Subaru or a Mustang, an E36 or an FRS — anywhere there's a 52mm pod, AetherGauge fits without touching the factory cluster.

Coming next

AetherGauge Max.

Same DNA. Bigger canvas. Already deep in development — a larger format built around the same principle: every screen, on purpose.
