I went with the new Combination Digital Speedometer/Analog Tachometer.

I really like it too! Looks awesome! Any issues with it at all? Did you install it or dealer install? If the dealer installed it, how much in labor?

I did have the dealer install it. It's a straight plug n play and could easily be installed yourself.
But the dealer said they needed to plug their computer into it to program something.
So, I just had them do the whole thing.
I think I paid around $70 for them to install it. They had it for about an hour I guess.

No issues at all. The tach is easy to read, and all factory features are in this one too.

Thanks for your response. One more thing, did you have to order it pre-programmed with matching mileage, or did they adjust the mileage at the time of the install?

They told me it would take about a week to come in. So, I just "guessed" as close as I could to what mileage I thought I would have a week later.
Then once it's installed, they have to hook it up to their scan tool to lock something (not sure exactly what they do).
But it's to prevent you from putting your stock speedometer back on two years down the road and making it look like you have a lot less mileage.
I think if you ever want to go back to your stock unit, you can have them reprogram it. But not sure of that.
