Post Looking for recommendations on install of Speedometer

Hi All,

Purchased used 2013 RXV (Electric) and looking to install a speedometer. Would like recommendations on what you have and who installed it and cost if possible.

I was thinking about either a Stryker Speedometer or a X-Ray volt type. (Both look similar.)


Suggestions on either and pros and cons (Issues?)

Thanks

Call Bob Sain (352-399-5115). He does great work, is reasonable, and stands by his work.

I have a speedometer app (free) on my smart phone. I sit it in the cup holder and can check my speed.

I went online and found a heads-up speedometer display WITH adjustable speed limit warning. This uses GPS, can be moved between vehicles, and needs just a cigarette lighter to plugin the power supply. installation 5 minutes, and cost less then $100. I think this is much better than any of the local suppliers as none of them had the speed limit alarm.
I found this at Overstock.com but a google search showed several available. I even found one that doubled as a rearview mirror, but since the cart already had a mirror I went with the heads-ups unit.
Hope this helps, just my thoughts.
