What add on gauge?

2006 xc70- I installed an aftermarket radio. Single DIN. Now I have a large blank space where the vertical pocket was, left of the orig. radio. I could use this spot for a gauge or switches. What gauge would be beneficial to add? What brand would look suitable? Just having some fun with making the car 'my own'.

put an oil gauge to monitor oil pressure, lot of Volvo engines went dead because of this.

get an android phone, and obdII bluetooth module and buy the torque app. it can read oil press, and many other parameters in real time. likely easier than running the gauge cables.

they have a wifi version for the iphone. But I don't know if the app it uses is as good.
