Double take dash and accessory install

[babieblues1013]

Hi just bought a modified 2017 club car precedent that has a body kit and is lifted. We also bought a doubletake sentry dash to install ourselves but want to add usb ports and a battery meter. There are hundreds of different ones and would like the USB port to have the capability to charge my phone as I like to play music from it. Any advice would be appreciated on best products for these thing? Also if anyone has a cart with this dash I would love pics to see how your set up looks.

I will be installing this dash soon along with their body kit too. It looks rather straight forward, I am with you there are so many different USB 12v ports on amazon its hard to know what to buy. Post what you pick up and pictures of your install

Just make sure you look closely at the dimensions and that it will fit. I've bought multiple ones on amazon. That piece is quite thick, so for the square guages, I had to use a dremel, metal cutting attachment.

All cheap guages and switches off amazon.
I am currently missing a switch. so ignore the one missing.
I have dual USB, a battery guage that has a shunt to measure amps, and 3 switches. Headlights, Lightbar, and Stereo system.
Note: I do not know if I recommend that shunt guage. At least that brand anyway. I don't trust its readings. Not sure if I am getting too much interference or some background noise. It seems to be incorrect when I am at full throttle.

Did you use a "twisted pair" cable for connecting to the shunt?

The twisted pair is supposed to prevent interference.
