Tempature gage ? V70-XC70 2011

From the owner's manual:

Engine overheating will be signaled with text and a red warning triangle in the middle of the instrument display. The exact text will depend on the degree of overheating. It may range from High engine temp Reduce speed to High engine temp Stop engine. If appropriate, other messages, such as Coolant level low, Stop safely will also be displayed. If your engine does overheat so that you must stop the engine, always allow the engine to cool before attempting to check oil and coolant levels.

LOL, who needs a dumb temperature gauge? How will you know when the engine cools off enough to add more antifreeze? Damn idiot lights.

Ah, as I expected/feared? I miss having a full set of gages to monitor the car. I guess I’ll rely on the computers to tell me when trouble happens instead of me watching the deviations from normal.

I can't find a good/cheap CAN-BUS gauge that is easily mounted on the left side of the dash.
