Harbor Freight has one for $7.99. It's analog which I like.
I just installed it last weekend. Works great!

I have a 2011 rt and would like to add a volt gauge having trouble locating one
I would think the 2011 & 2012 RT dash is the same and the gauges are the same size. I just replaced my fuel gauge & temp gauge with a ProSport digital voltmeter & digital clock. I bought the 52mm.
It is not advertised as water proof but what the hell.... for $7.99 I will test it
Give me a day as I plan to wash and wax the spyder tomorrow.

That looks pretty cool!
Questions:
What wires do you hook the voltmeter up to?
And the clock?
Got the new Prosport voltmeter and clock installed this morning!
I used the existing accessory +12 volts that was already there for the accessory feed.
I ran a wire directly from the battery (BOTH + & -) to the new gauges.
Installed an inline fuse on the positive side and ran that to each gauge for the constant +12 volts. Then used the negative from the battery to both gauges.
Here's what they look like! VERY neat install, everything (except wiring to the battery) was included...AND as a bonus, Prosport Gauges included the sun shields in the package.
When you turn on the key they go thru a startup similar to the analog speedo & tach.
When you turn off the key, because I used the existing accessory feed, they stay on for about 10 - 12 seconds and then go thru a shutdown cycle like the digital screen.
Pretty cool!
Hmmm 12.2 V doesn't seem accurate unless your battery is on the down side!
A fully charge battery should be real close to 13V.
Where did you pick off the 12V from? I hope not the stab on connector for the old meters light?

I Wonder if I could sneak them past the Missus?
Do they offer a set with a chrome bezel? (I'm like an old crow; I'll pick up anyything if it's shiny!)

Hey Stallion, did you have to remove any Tupper-ware to route the wires to the battery? If so how many and which ones. I buying gauges also. Thanks
Volt gauge
