They are 52mm round clocks that fit any standard clock binnacle. They can be programmed to read different pieces of information from the ecu.
The Interceptor will work with any 2005 or newer CAN Bus compliant vehicle. It will not work with vehicles that have the older OBDII bus engine management interface.
The below list is an example of the cars this gauge works on-
2005+ Pontiac GTO
2005+ Chevy Corvette
2005+ V8 GM Trucks
2006+ Trailblazer SS
2005+ V8 Impala, Grand Prix, Lacrosse
And Much More! If you have questions, just ask us!
Options:
LCD Color - Choice of blue font/black face, white font/black face, red font/black face, and green font/black face
Gauge Face - Black, Silver, or White Face Plate (Black Standard)
Bezel - Black, Anodized Silver, Chrome (Black Standard)
Note: Special edition gauges (GTO, Cobalt SS, etc.) have been discontinued. You will now be asked to enter your vehicle type on initial startup, and will display available logos.
Technical Specifications-
The Interceptor gauge is 52mm (2 1/16"
in diameter and will fit in all standard gauge pods of this size. A 5' cable is included with appropriate OBD2 connector. A splitter cable is included with the dual Interceptor units.
A function menu is available by pushing both buttons simultaneously. The first option allows you to enter a record mode. Once selected, the Interceptor will return to normal scan mode, but will start recording the displayed data automatically when the throttle exceeds 60%. Approximately 45-60 seconds of data will be stored. Returning to the menu screen, you can choose to replay the stored data on the Interceptor display.
Another menu option offers the ability to swap the foreground and backround colors of the display (to be shown soon in the IMAGES section of this site). Using this feature, for example, the gauge with a black backround and blue characters (negative image) becomes a blue backround with black characters (positive image). Not only can this be visually appealing but beneficial in changing lighting conditions. Positive images are easier to read in bright sunlight, negative at night.
The Interceptor's scan rate can also be adjusted through a menu function.
DTC's (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) can be accessed and cleared via menu options. Click here for a list of powertrain diagnostic code explanations.
Finally the two analog inputs can be configured through menu choices. A linear conversion can be entered so that an analog signal connected to the gauge can be read in appropriate units. These inputs are handy for pressure signals such as those from MAP and oil pressure sensors, analog outputs from Air/Fuel ratio kits, etc. These signal can then be read and recorded along side the other parameters obtained on the vehicle's bus.
Installation is accomplished by simply plugging the supplied connector into the OBD2 port below the steering wheel and connecting a separate included wire to a switched 12v vehicle power source. Virtually plug-and-play!
The Interceptor is capable of displaying the following parameters, two at a time, at a rate of approximately 20 times per second. Not all are supported by every vehicle, so there is no guarantee that the Interceptor will display all of these on your particular car or truck. If the vehicle is broadcasting the parameter, the Interceptor will recognize this and make it available for display.

I prefer bluetooth OBD2 adapter and a pda/laptop.
The O2 Mini S (or similar) fits prefectly into the litte compartment on the centre console.
You can then use it for
GPS via bluetooth receiver. Currently trying to get one I can tuck away somewhere. The TomTom unit is great but powers off with no BT connected device. I'm looking at one I can permenantly mount (prob on the rear parcel shelf) that switches on with the cars power.
OBD-2 - there's a great adapter that just plugs over the odb-ii port and you just leave it there. It draws power from the interface itself so automatically switches on with the car. The supplied software runs fine on a Window Mobile device and allows datalogging, nice graphs etc.
Phone - via the car's own bluetooth system
All I need to do is run a power feed from the aux power socket to the little storage compart ment and I'm happy :-)

SS HSV - thanks for that, but I have an 04 CV8 so I think that rules me out!
Refer to my previous post, they are available.I would like a pair of those but my dash has nowhere to mount such a pod and I am not so sure I would like to have the alternative dual-pillar mount pod as it looks rather Halfords
Are there any viable alternatives?
also available in a nice all black finish with green digital display to better fit with the monaro dash, around 200 quid plus vat and carriage from US at current exchange rate or 300 all in for 2 dials from Monkfish who also stock a nice little fuse adaptor for 10 quid that makes supplying power to them a lot easier. Not sure if the Monkfish price also includes installation of the gauges?
I've got them and have found them very useful..........
Yes there is some (a lot of) info I do not understand or need.
BUT I have unfortunately become completely paranoid about my "intake air temp" (this is the guages favourite default display setting)
It sometimes gets into the 60's....Roger has tried to calm me by saying it has no affect on the performance (retards the ignition) until it reaches 65 degrees C, but that has not helped.
As a result I cut two 120x90mm holes in my bonnet this week either side of the supercharger and fitted a couple of ally vents on top, I'm not sure if its made any difference yet but I think it looks quite "track day" ????

has anyone actually fitted these to there cv8 or vxr?
just wondering if it needs wiring in to lambda sensors or reads it via ecu?
See above post - I also have a fuel air guage - is that a lambda sensor ?just wondering if it needs wiring in to lambda sensors or reads it via ecu?
It looks like it should be in an amusement arcade (lots of flashing coloured lights)
I am still bemused about its function.
Tiler told me as long as it reads more than 11 when I put my foot down I'm OK.......
Unfortunetly I'm usually looking out the wind screen in these situations so miss it!

Lamba sensor meaasures the oxygen levels in the exhaust.
Roger,
what can be displayed on an 04 cv8 please and what is the cost for the gauge/gauges and mounting pod (all up), can two be hooked up and are they easy to fit (wiring wise), can a boost gauge be added easily, so 1 scan gauge and 1 boost gauge.
Also how much to check over my suspension setup and adjust if required (you did it already but feels abit out again).
cheers

Hi neil,
It had never read over 11.8 under full load when i own the car, and as i no you dont drive as hard or near the limit as i have done. Just enjoy and drive to your own limits.

I.m a lot more confident with it now - and have mastered the clutch !
