I asked Doc Brown about a speedo in his project cars that fits your size. He was very happy with a simple Amazon GPS speedometer and said all the different models he's tried have worked fine.

So, there is no need for a Flux Capacitor

This was the one he recommended to me. I'm thinking about integrating that into the dash of my racecar. You can it in action in some of his videos here

That unit is cheaper than fixing the speedometer in my car.

Unit arrived

 

Good looking unit if you want to set it on the dash.  Power Port is on the left side of the housing.

However, for our application, we want to mount it FLAT on the dash in the space between the air conditioner vents.

Unfortunately, the case has a sloped back that will not allow for that type fo mounting.

Return already initiated.

The search continues, looking at this unit:

Open up Amazon and search "OBD2 speedometer". Tons of choices.

I'm psyched that the one you're returning has figured out the perpetual energy issue!

 

"0 power consumption"! I'm excited to see where they apply this corded zero power consumption technology, next.

Bumping this back up. Did you get a GPS speedo? If yes, how do you like it?
