Not that this is apples to apples, but I have a wifi OBDII connector in my truck, and I can access it with a free app on my iPhone. It allows me to choose from several monitoring options, and I'm most interested in temperature.

The gauge in my truck is somewhat vague, and it's in Metric. I still think in Fahrenheit when it comes to cars, and I like to know what my engine is doing when I'm towing my holiday trailer.

The connector and software for an RX3 will allow you to pinpoint trouble down the road, because it will tell you if you have a faulty throttle position sensor, oxygen sensor or whatever else. A very wise tool investment.

My Nissan Juke (built in the UK!) has an option in the settings to change between MPH/KPH C/F Miles per Gallon / Litres per Kilometer etc.

Maybe an option buried somewhere deep in the OBC?

Nope. Old '99 GMC truck with analogue gauges. Not the fancy modern type.

Mine are more for entertainment purposes than information.
