Since we’re all about lifestyle, we thought we’d change things up a bit and bring you some info from AutoMeter and their DashLink System. It might be a pretty unique gift idea under $150 — especially if you're buying for someone who likes cars…or if they just want to pretend they're in a TIE fighter. Here’s what AutoMeter told us about the DashLink system. The award winning DashLink app is a plug-n-play, virtual dashboard display system for your vehicle that’s easy to install and fun to use on most 1996 and newer OBDII compliant vehicles. It enables you to capitalize on AutoMeter’s years of instrumentation and data acquisition expertise so you are in control and in-the-know about what is going on with your vehicle. It turns your Android or iOS device into an advanced display and monitoring system. From monitoring vehicle and engine performance, to tracking fuel economy levels, reading and clearing vehicle trouble codes, to managing check engine lights, the AutoMeter DashLink puts you in control. Data log what your vehicle is doing, determine: 0-60, ¼ mile, horsepower, and braking performance. Map where you vehicle has been, how it performed, and how many G’s you experienced with real time track mapping. Monitor your fuel economy/MPG, see how long your vehicle has idled, how many aggressive accelerations or braking events have occurred, and how your vehicle was driven. Instantly read, diagnose and clear engine codes and clear troublesome Check Engine lights, all with the easy to use plug-n-play functionality of the DashLink system. The DashLink system comes with the OBDII module ready to work out of the box along with a quick start guide for operation. Available now for under $150. **Available in the Android App Store and coming soon to Apple iOS.** About AutoMeter in their own words. Auto Meter has been driven to provide performance enthusiasts with the information they need to win. We've revolutionized the way that racers and vehicle builders think about instrumentation and vehicle electronics for more than 50 years. Auto Meter was founded by Vern Westberg in 1957. In the early days Vern would pour sand castings in his family’s backyard, and his sons would help him assemble products in their basement at night. During our 50+ years, we have developed many industry-leading products from our rev control tachometers and quick responding tachometers, to our high technology LCD Competition data acquisition systems. We have set the standard for accuracy, precision, and durability. Today, we have state-of-the-art cellular manufacturing centers, advanced engineering systems, and product technology that is unmatched in the instrumentation marketplace. You can find them online right here. Why you can trust RECOIL Since our founding in 2012, RECOIL remains the premier firearms lifestyle publication for the modern shooting enthusiast.
