Default ScanGauge2

I bought ScanGauge2 and installed it today. It's Plug & Play. What you have to do is to connect to OBD2 connector. That's it.

I think that this device is worth paying $170.

Interesting. Your photos show it on top of your steering column. Is a bracket included or is it just sitting there for the photo?

I used the sticky-black velcro supplied with ScanGauge2 to attach it there.

Sadly, I couldn't get the answers from their manual, but I did send them an email.

How did you run your cable? Any pics of the cable run? How did you attach the display?

Just use an attached cable and connect it from OBD2 connector to the dispay, that's it.

i like it. Im trying to find a place to flush mount it. im thinking maybe it would fit directly in front of the shifter and you'd be able to look down at it when not in park.

I have had one of these for about 8 months now and I love it. I use the "miles remaining on tank" feature all the time. There is a lot of great information that this thing has. I have mine sitting on the dash right up at the windshield and drivers A-pillar and I ran the cable down the back of the dash.
My only wish is that it could read how much fuel is in the tank and reset itself when you get gas. You have hit the "more" button and "fillup" to reset it. It's really easy, but it would be nice to not have to do that.

The company is also in the process of building a USB PC link for it so you can download saved info to your PC or upload programming updates to the Scan Gauge. I keep emailing them, but it is not available yet.

i was reading that in the manual, about not reading the tank, instead needing to be reset when you refill. I was wondering how accurate it is like that. In teh manual it says not to trust it after 50 miles, i guess thats excessive, but since you've had it for a while what do you think about that? how accurate is it? Would you go down to 5 or 10 miles left?

thanks!

If you think about it, any OBD II scan tool is upwards of 200 bucks, so considering this one shows displays and functions while you're driving...seems like a hell of a deal to me. Im buying one.

It seems very accurate to me. Usually, at about 45 miles remaining the low fuel light comes on. The light is supposed to come on at 3 gallons remaining, so at about 15MPG it seems very accurate to me. I have never run mine down to 5 or 10 miles remaining, but it seems accurate enough to do it. As long as you do the refill step right after you fill-up, it should be good. The only problem is that if you only fill your tank half-way it will be off. The fill-up step expects you to fill the tank completely. That is why I wish it could read the fuel level. Then it wouldn't matter how much you put in.
The new PC interface is supposed to allow updates to the ScanGauge, so hopefully things like this will be changed in the future.
