What it does

Everything you glance at, in one place.

The gauge reads the car. Your phone sends the rest. No cloud, no account.

Live engine data

RPM, boost, AFR, temperatures and more, straight from the OBD-II port. Pick what goes where, set warnings.

Texts and calls pop up

Messages, calls and app alerts slide in over whatever screen you're on, with who it's from. Plus what's playing. Phone stays in your pocket. (iPhone)

A map that turns with you

Turn-by-turn from the app as a round moving map or big arrows, with your speed and the posted limit.

Know why the light is on

New trouble codes pop up over any screen with what they usually mean. Read and clear them in the app.

Log every drive

Record the readings you pick 50 times a second, then review, export or compare two runs.

0-60 and the quarter mile

A launch timer for the track: stop, wait for READY, go. Every run is saved and shareable.

Where it goes

Drops into the dash you already love.

It comes with a dash mount and also fits any standard 52 mm gauge pod. Plug in one cable and it powers itself. It sleeps when the car is off.

Dash mount (included)

Sticks on with 3M tape. No drilling, no pod needed, works in any car.

A-pillar pod

Right in your line of sight, the classic spot for boost and AFR.

Single-gauge mount

On the dash or the steering column, where a factory gauge would sit.

Center console

Next to the climate controls, in easy reach of a passenger too.

Fits the 52 mm pods made for the Subaru WRX / STI (2008+) · Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S / Toyota GR86 (2013+) · Ford Mustang (2015+) · Honda Civic Si / Type R (2017+) · VW Golf GTI / R (2015+) and many more. Live engine data needs an OBD-II car that talks CAN: most cars from 2008 on.

Your phone

The gauge, even when your phone is locked.

The free AetherGauge app sets everything up, then mostly stays out of the way.

Navigation from your pocket

Type a destination in the app and lock your phone. The route keeps streaming to the gauge's round map in the background.

Ask Siri

"Change to Weather on the gauge." "AetherGauge start recording." Change screens and start a log without touching your phone.

Widgets and remote

A Home Screen widget and an in-app remote change screens and run each screen's button. The gauge has no buttons to reach for.

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, plugged right in. A phone app that talks to it directly over Bluetooth, with no cloud, no subscription and no middleman. Weather from where you actually are. Navigation from the phone in your pocket. Music, notifications, lap times, vehicle data. Themed how you want. Laid out where you want.

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

Coming next

AetherGauge Max.

Same app, same screens, a bigger canvas. A 4-inch round touch display with twice the detail. In development now.
