If you don't want to change the console, where would you put the gauges?

Easier to add them on the A-pillar

I think you're able to put them in place of the A/C vents, I would grab a workshop manual for the wiring diagrams.

I'm not sure how you would do it without removing the console. This is what I did on my 2.5i. It required using a second upper panel and some custom cutting and fabrication. Then the console had to be removed to install the panel.

Other than finding a place to fit the gauges, how challenging is it to tap into oil pressure/temperature? I have an M52 if it matters.

Rally Road has another option...you can run two gauges behind the steering wheel. I've had mine in a box for 18 months or so, but I'll get to it someday. Life got in the way a bit

I was thinking about this this morning and realized I all I ever use for audio is bluetooth. There are many hidden audio systems you can get, or cobble one together. Where the radio is is perfect for gauges:

If I knew you were doing that I might have kept the stereo.

Honestly, just an idea, but pretty low in the priority for me. I will likely never get around to it and I am very happy to have your stereo right now.
