Part Number: KRISPYGAUGE-52
The Krispy Gauge is a full-colour round touchscreen that drops into any standard 52mm (2-1/16") gauge pod and reads straight off your ECU's CAN bus. Instead of running a separate sender and gauge for every channel, one Krispy Gauge can show boost, AFR, oil pressure, coolant temp, knock or anything else your ECU broadcasts, page by page with a swipe.
It's designed and built in Titirangi, Auckland, by Krispy Workshop, so it's a Kiwi product with local support behind it. Setup is done wirelessly: the gauge puts up its own WiFi hotspot, and you lay out gauge faces, colours and warning thresholds from your phone or laptop. No laptop cable, no proprietary software to install.
For Haltech owners it goes a step further. The gauge can emulate a Haltech 2x4 CAN keypad from the touchscreen, so you can arm launch control, step traction or boost maps, toggle anti-lag or the pit limiter, and fire any user-defined ECU function without wiring in a separate keypad. Programmable warning limits trigger a full-screen alert, so a dropping oil pressure or rising coolant temp gets your attention before it gets expensive.
It also streams live CAN data over Bluetooth to the VRacer app on your phone for data logging, lap timing and video overlay, with no extra hardware.

Installation
The gauge connects to your existing CAN network, so on most Haltech installs it's a plug-in job using a DTM-4 CAN cable or a spare port on a CAN hub. Want it fitted? Our in-house installation bay can wire it in and set up your gauge pages while the car is with us.
