New Owner, first post

Howdy all. My name is Shannon. I live just north of Houston, TX, in the bustling metropolis of New Caney.

I bought a 2015 FiST last weekend. It had 22 miles at delivery. I drove it just over 500 miles this week, mostly commuting. I love everything about the car except...

... no gauges? Well, except for a tiny bar graph temperature gauge? Really? All that electronic real estate, and no gauges? Do I really need the current date to take up 1/4 of the home screen? And, did I mention, no gauges? This is a sporting automobile with rally heritage and no way to view current oil pressure? Battery condition? I get to know what compass point I am driving toward, but no boost indicator? When they set-up these screens, did they consult someone's grandmother?

... I find I am a much more aggressive driver in traffic than I used to be. ;-)

No plans to improve anything yet. But I would really like to have some basic gauges.

Welcome and congrats!

You should look into the COBB Accessport for all your gauge needs. I know you said you weren't planning on improving anything yet but it's the best first upgrade to this vehicle bar none, really wakes it up, too. [emoji106][emoji106]

Oh yeah... PICS! [emoji41]

If you don't want the Access port (i'm with rexdrivber85 recommending it) there are plenty of OBDII blue tooth and great android or Apple software. One that has great review is Torque Pro

Thanks for the link and the advice on the Cobb AP. I may spring for one eventually.
