If you would like to install a rev counter on your automatic Smart 453, this system is really very simple. You can find this rev counter on eBay with the code 185695129517 for £196.89 (+£12.00 delivery).

However, if you are interested in something simpler, provided your car is petrol, we can also recommend this code B01M5JGJGS on Amazon, which costs £33.66 including delivery. In any case, the installation is very straightforward.

Remove the snap-in air vent, take off the cover and the dashboard panel, and thread the wire with its connector through. Connect it to the pre-existing socket and you're done.
