The part is only like $58 from the US if you order online and it should be easier then pie to install. The morons at createenginedepot can't seem to find a reply button to my emails so I have had to wait to order the part. Maybe I go somewhere else and order.

If you get it for cost, yes. I believe it was floating around $150ish for retail price when I checked a few months back. I could be wrong.

I just called 2 dealers and part number 25800715 is $159.25 and will take 3-5 business days.

On the CrateEngineDepot website, the part is about $58 USD with $20-30 shipping to Canada!

I never really saw an issue with doing the conversion in my head... But maybe I'm just better than most at doing math on the fly. 1psi = approx. 7kPa

Yeah I could do the conversion but I am old and have other things to worry about. I ordered the new gauge and I should have it in 3-4 days from the US. I wish the damn tire pressure monitoring system would switch into PSI also somehow!

And install it yourself. Sell the old one on ebay ...

Its like a 10 minute job and maybe 3 screws ... The airbag IS NOT in the pillar!

Go into program mode in your dic (press both buttons on you wheel and go through new menu) and change units to english and youll get psi on tire pressure.

Wouldn't that setting change your trip meter to miles, your mileage to miles (lol), your fuel economy to MPG too?

The SC PSI gauge only goes to like 20 PSI so no I would not want a SS/SC Gauge. You need something that goes to 30.
