Temp and fuel meters on RT?
I have a 2014 RT and noted that the plugs are in the spots for the meters for the temp and gas.
1. Are they active that all I need is to plug in a meter
2. You carry them?
3 Is so how much.

Here's the thing....
Many disconnect the gas and temp and then the digital ones appear on the screen. They are more reliable and accurate. Now you have the holes where some have added amp/volt meters oil pressure etc or just power outlets. the wiring is there and the guages are at your local car parts store..

I'm sure you could buy them from BRP go to www.can-am.brp.com and go to the Parts Catalog but like Chupaca said many people with the S & Ltd models disconnect the analog gauges to get the digital readouts as they are usually more accurate. When people do that they replace them with things like voltmeters and oil pressure gauges or USBs.

Thanks for the heads up. I did not know they disable the digi side. Will have to get my voltmeter so check what on what pin.

Yes, it is one or the other but not both!

I understand if you unplug the gauges that it shows up on the center screen. What would be nice is if someone made a digital guage to REPLACE the gas and temp guage, then all three would be digital. Thoughts?

The gas and temp guage on my 2014 LT are analog, be able to remove them and install a digital one.

Soo.... you do realise that pretty much this whole thread is devoted to explaining that if you've got an RT without the analog gauges then the gas & temp digital gauges will be displayed in the centre digital dash display??
And if you do have the analogue gauges already fitted like the non base/upmarket RT's do, then all it takes to get the digital gauges to show is to disconnect the existing analogue gauges - but you must disconnect both analogue gauges for that info to display on the centre digital dash, not just disconnect either one of the pair of existing analogue gauges?! That's both analogue gauges will work, or both digital readouts will work, not one of each, OK?!
This info has already been shared in the posts of this thread & effectively means that if you particularly want to put 2" or so round digital gauges into the holes already there for the analogue gauges which may or may not be fitted already to your RT, all you need to do is go out & buy the right size & fitting digital gauges & slot them into the already present holes, taking out either the round covers or the analogue gauges as necessitated by your particular model RT & then connect them up to the existing wiring (all the RT's have the wiring, even if they don't have the gauges!) Btw, digital gauges for both gas & temp in the appropriate size & fitting are already made & readily available...
So I still don't really understand what you are asking?? You CAN choose to remove the analogue gauges & install digital gauges in their place; just go out & buy the right size gauges & fit them - you can get them plug'n play in the right size from most motor accessory shops or off eBay fairly cheaply! Or else you can choose to simply un-plug both the analogue gauges & the gas & temp digital read outs in the centre digital dash will display instead of showing on the analogue gauges, then you can either remove the now no longer working analogue gauges & cover the holes left, or you could fit any other different analogue or digital gauges that your heart desires....
So what else or different is it that you wanted??
