Anybody has upgraded their dashboard with old style inclinometer and compass, something similar to this?

Click image to enlarge Not sure if it really fits to a L663 dash, but there is this: https://www.amazon.fr/BELEY-Inclinom%C3%A8...d_source=1 I would be really curious to see it installed. It would DEF add an old school touch

I am sure the sensors would be onboard already. Something landrover could do for us in software MY23.5 SE Defender

It’s literally built in to the car’s software already

The inbuilt feature is of no use if you have the satnav on with google maps.
Climbing up mountains and off road I find the physical hardware easier and faster to read. It’s just everything on the market looks ugly and the Digital gauges have no charme  |

Well, if you could get an old school set of gauges like the one above, l guess it wouldn't need any electrical connections except for a back light so you could see it at night.

Good point. Altimeter, compass and inclinometer. If I find them I can 3D print something to blend in the dashboard.

Whaaaaat? If you have the digital dash, then you set that to show you where you are going, and use the pivi display to show the inclinometer, compass and vehicle articulation. Or, use your phone for the map and have the phone holder in a prominent place. Those old skool compass balls are notoriously inaccurate, they leak and get too many bubbles in them to be worthwhile. Better to have a dancing Hula girl on your dash. |

I like the dancing hula girl idea. Maybe I should get one...
