Adding a temp guage to a 3
Has anyone out there added a temp guage to their 3? If so, what kind and what was the process? Thanks Much!

Not if it's a Gen2 Mazda3. Even then all the Gen1 cars get is a glorified "idiot gauge" which is slaved to the OBD-II computer and will only register "too hot" when it's "too late".

As I understand it, the 2010 has a 2-State light that only lights up when the engine gets too hot; the 2011 and later has a 3-State light, one color for cold, off for normal and another color for hot.

Yes, sorry. I have a '10 3 sSport. No temp gauge on these. Bought the car anyway! Just like to see what my engine is doing.
