Did change some of the gauges to, inside temp gauge , dual battery volt monitor , then wired it to my aux battery via an extra fuse box and a relay with an ign trigger live so only came on with the ign
Fuse box I installed in the upper glove box and also a battery monitor , so can check the battery voltages via an app on my phone via Bluetooth, range is around 20 x feet easy to check whilst indoors
Better pics of the 3.5mm aux socket I installed , took the panel apart to fit the aux socket , along with buying a loom so all plugged in without altering any wiring on the back of the radio
Hope that helps and of course more than welcome to help if u need more info

Comes with app that monitors a single battery , I had to buy x2 bm2, one in my fuse for the aux battery and the other one I fitted into the 12s wiring in the boots side panel because it improved the range
Can of course fit it directly to the main battery if u wish, I just found I got a better Bluetooth signal fitting it there
The other app that can monitor 4 x batteries is via the App Store and costs £10 , alas will also need a BM2 per battery
Hope that helps

Got it off fleebay, only had to strip the bottom of the dash out and a slight increase of the diameter of the original 12v socket to fit it

Here u go
Plus the other company that sell panels, they now do an extra small panel that can be fitted below the main one , don’t need the panel above to just fit the smaller one
Did change some of the gauges to, inside temp gauge , dual battery volt monitor , then wired it to my aux battery via an extra fuse box and a relay with an ign trigger live so only came on with the ign
Thanks, got one on the way now
