Default Best aftermarket temp gauge?

What's the best option here? Are there any wireless/blutooth options that connect to the OBD port?

I'm looking to install a temp gauge (maybe with some kind of alarm for specific temp threshold).

Thanks guys - Ideally have a clean - no wire look or something that simply plugs into port and links to app on my phone and warns me if temp goes above certain level. I don't need to be eyeballing the gauge all the time.

I like the new Autool on Amazon or Ebay. Programmable alarm limits, large readout, display color matches other gauges, can read and clear codes, and the price is good. Also mysteriously displays the oil temperature for something, have not figured where it is getting that value yet but it seems make sense regarding the reason.

Ultragauge Blue and a smartphone/tablet FTW!!!!
The 7 screens can be customized up to 10 items that you want to monitor.
You can set an alarm notify for low temps, high temps, low fuel (I don't trust that one), high RPMs, Low battery voltage, trouble codes (TCs), etc.
