The Aeroforce Interceptor gauge is a powerhouse of vehicle information, packed into a standard 52mm (2 1/16″) diameter unit that fits seamlessly into any standard gauge pod. For automotive enthusiasts and professionals who demand a deeper dive into their vehicle’s performance and health, the Interceptor gauge offers an unparalleled level of monitoring capability. And for those seeking to maximize their insight, the Obdii Splitter Aeroforce solution opens up a new dimension of data acquisition by enabling dual gauge setups.
This compact yet powerful gauge connects effortlessly to your vehicle’s OBD2 port using the included 5′ cable, providing access to a wealth of parameters – over 100 in total. Imagine being able to monitor critical engine metrics, diagnose potential issues, and even track performance data, all from a single, easily installed device. The Interceptor gauge delivers on this promise, displaying two parameters simultaneously and offering a programmable cycle to rotate through up to eight, ensuring you have a constant overview of your vehicle’s vital signs.
Customization is key with the Interceptor gauge. It comes standard with a black bezel and a black face with a polished silver center ring, and includes an additional white face for alternative aesthetics. Further personalize your setup with optional bezels in black, polished silver, and brushed silver, along with various face options available separately. This adaptability ensures the gauge complements your vehicle’s interior and your personal style.
Beyond its visual appeal, the Interceptor gauge is engineered for functionality. Its record mode captures approximately 60 seconds of data when the throttle exceeds 60%, allowing you to review performance metrics at critical moments. The high-intensity warning lights, configurable with single or dual parameter algorithms, provide immediate alerts to potential issues or when user-defined thresholds are crossed – a feature indispensable for performance driving and preventative maintenance.
The display itself is designed for optimal visibility in all conditions. A simple menu option allows you to swap foreground and background colors, transitioning between a negative image (black background with colored characters) for nighttime clarity and a positive image (colored background with black characters) for bright sunlight readability. Furthermore, the scan rate is adjustable via the menu, allowing you to tailor the data refresh speed to your specific needs.
One of the most valuable features for any vehicle owner, especially those who modify their cars, is the Interceptor’s ability to read and clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). This functionality can save you time and money by identifying issues early and potentially resolving them yourself, proving particularly useful when troubleshooting modifications or after routine maintenance.
The Interceptor gauge also incorporates two analog inputs, configurable via the menu with linear conversion. These inputs expand the gauge’s monitoring capabilities to external sensors such as MAP and oil pressure sensors, and analog outputs from air/fuel ratio kits. These signals can be displayed and logged alongside OBD2 parameters, providing a holistic view of your vehicle’s performance.
For advanced users, the Interceptor offers bi-directional controls. On GM vehicles, it enables manual control of low and high-speed fans, CASE relearn, and ECU reset. Chrysler vehicle owners benefit from transmission controller reset and the ability to disable Electronic Stability Program for enhanced track performance. Expanding its control capabilities further, an optional relay output module allows for 12v relay control based on OBD2 or analog input data values.
Performance enthusiasts will appreciate the built-in timers for 0-60 mph, 1/8 mile, and 1/4 mile times and speeds. Accessible through a straightforward menu selection, this feature provides valuable metrics for evaluating vehicle performance. (Note: this function is not available on older ISO-based imports due to slower bus speeds).
Installation is remarkably simple. In most vehicles, it’s a plug-and-play process, connecting directly to the OBD2 port, typically located beneath the steering wheel. Vehicles requiring the ISO version (older imports) have provisions for switched 12v power connection at the rear connector, maintaining ease of installation.
Dual Interceptor Gauges: Enhanced Monitoring with the OBDII Splitter Aeroforce Advantage
For the ultimate monitoring setup, consider the obdii splitter aeroforce solution. By utilizing a special splitter cable, you can connect two Interceptor gauges to a single OBD2 port, effectively doubling your real-time data display. This is particularly beneficial for users who want to keep a constant eye on a wider range of parameters simultaneously, without having to cycle through displays.
In most dual setups, the second Interceptor gauge mirrors the functionality of a single gauge, working in tandem with the first. However, the SR dual set offers a specialized configuration for Chrysler vehicles where the second gauge displays a refined subset of parameters due to PCM limitations. (Refer to the parameters and features list for detailed compatibility). It’s important to note that the second gauge in a dual setup does not include a performance timer.
The obdii splitter aeroforce configuration is ideal for scenarios demanding comprehensive vehicle oversight. Whether you’re tuning your engine, monitoring critical temperatures and pressures during demanding driving conditions, or simply want a more complete picture of your vehicle’s health, dual Interceptor gauges provide the expanded visibility you need. The splitter cable ensures a clean and straightforward installation, maintaining the plug-and-play simplicity of the single gauge setup while unlocking a new level of monitoring potential.
Warranty and Parameter Support
Aeroforce Technology stands behind the Interceptor gauge with a 1-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The gauge is designed to display over 100 parameters, though actual availability depends on your specific vehicle’s broadcast capabilities. The Interceptor will automatically detect and display any parameter broadcast by your vehicle’s computer. A sample list of parameters includes (but is not limited to):
- RPM
- MPH
- Intake Air Temperature
- Ambient Air Temperature
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Exhaust Gas Temperature (PCM Calculated)
- Transmission Temp.
- Manifold Pressure
- Fuel Temperature
- Battery Voltage
- Injector Pulse Width
- Air Flow Rate
- Fuel Trim (Long & Short Term)
- O2 Sensor Voltage
- Ignition Advance
- Throttle Position
- Engine Load
- And many more…
The Aeroforce Interceptor gauge, especially when paired with an obdii splitter aeroforce for dual gauge configurations, represents a powerful and versatile tool for vehicle monitoring, diagnostics, and performance analysis. Its ease of installation, extensive feature set, and customizable display make it an invaluable addition for any serious car enthusiast or automotive professional.
