Does anyone have any info on adding gauges in my 06 Release 4.0 xB?

I'm most interested in Water Temperature, Oil Pressure, Voltage in that order.

Thanks.

I haven't added those specific gauges to my xB but I have on another car. Adding the oil pressure gauge will be the hardest part. You'll need to remove the air intake manifold to access the oil pressure sensor. The thread in the block is 1/8 NPT so you'll need to get a brass Tee so you have the stock sensor and then your gauge's sending unit.

The voltage you can just run it with the rest of the gauges power wires to a key'd power source, like your cig lighter. The water temp sensor will have to be spliced into the radiator hose... I've seen like little probes you push between some radiator fins but I'm not sure is that's still a thing.

Voltage is easy...swapped my 12v for double USB pwr outlets that has volt readout.

For oil pressure & water temp I was thinking about drilling dash to left of Speedo.

I can use my OBDII Bluetooth Reader and Phone display for a lot of different info in gauge form and have one set up with volts/water temp/mpg but oil pressure not available option.
Better than nothing but would still like volt/oil next to speedo. Also thinking electric oil pressure instead of the oil line type.
