    12v battery bluetooth monitor was a great, cheap addition to my previous car. Not sure why something like that hasn’t been built in for decades.

      It used to be. When I was a kid, my parents car and my uncle’s car both had a battery gauge on the instrument cluster. Fast forward to when I was 18 and I got my first car, imagine my surprise when it didn’t have one and I found out that basically no cars have one these days. I remember asking the dealer about it and just getting a blank stare.
