ScanGauge II 3-in-1 Compact

Multifunction Vehicle Computer with

Customizable Display









Best Product Ever





The ScanGaugeII is a 3-in-1 automotive computer that combines a

multifunction trip computer, diagnostic scan tool, and up to 37 digital

gauges in one small package. It connects easily to your vehicles On-Board

Diagnostic (OBDII) port and communicates directly with the vehicles

computer. Not sure if your car uses OBDII or Controller Area Network

(CAN)? The unit will automatically determine which system to use and

switch to it. The ScanGaugeII works on all 1996 or newer OBDII cars,

including gas, diesel, propane and hybrid vehicles, as well as vehicles

with the latest CAN systems. A detachable cable allows for easy transfer

between multiple vehicles. Its menu-driven operation means theres no

need to memorize complex sequences, and no tools are required for

installation. Expandable Add-A-Gauge Technology



The ScanGaugeII has been redesigned with expandable Add-A-Gauge

(aka XGauge) technology. Add to the original 12 gauges by customizing

the ScanGaugeII to monitor up to 25 more--depending on your specific

vehicles sensor design. Four gauges can be displayed simultaneously and

can help determine fuel consumption rates, allowing you to adjust driving

behavior and save gas. At the same time, keep an eye on coolant

temperature, engine speed, and much more in real time. If there is a

young driver in the house or friends borrow your car, the ScanGaugeII can

record speeds of up to 158 mph and store the information for you to view

later, so you will know just how fast your young driver or friend wa s going

last night. If the unit was disconnected, youll know: An indicator will be

displayed in the trip data.







ScanGaugeII mounts easily to your dash.

Gauges include:



Horsepower Fuel Consumption Rate to 1/100th per gallon/liter Vehicl e

speed (MPH) Fuel Economy Cost Per Mile/Cost Per Trip Manifold

Pressure (not available on some vehicles) Battery Voltage Engine Load

Coolant Temperature Throttle Position Intake Air Temperature Ignition

Timing Engine Speed (RPM) O2 Sensor Data Fuel Trim Hybrid Battery

Charge (for Toyota Prius and Ford Escape) And many more, depending on

your vehicles sensor design



ScanGaugeII makes diagnostics easy.



View Larger Scan Tool



The ScanGaugeII includes a diagnostic scan tool that can check for

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), clear the codes, and turn off the Check

Engine light on 99% of 1996 and newer vehicles. (However, this feature

may not work on some trouble codes in Dodge vehicles.) If any DTCs are

found, the ScanGauge will show how many there are as well as the codes

themselves. Then you can use the Internet or repair manual to find out

which is the failed part is, so you can repair it yourself or know what needs

to be fixed at the mechanics shop. Multifunction Trip Computer



Four sets of data are automatically recorded on the trip computer: Current,

Today, Previous Day, and Tank Trip. The current trip restarts after the

engine has been off for more than 3 minutes. The today trip restarts after

the vehicle has not moved for 9 hours, and the data from today is moved

to previous day when you restart the car, so you dont have to reset the

computer every time you begin a trip. Tank trip resets when you fill up the

tank. It can provide you with to empty data and other useful information,

which can be viewed any time during the trip. The trip computer also

integrates information from the Cost Per Mile gauge. Simply enter how

much you paid per gallon or liter of fuel, and the ScanGauge will

automatically calculate the cost of your trips as you drive. The

ScanGaugeII features 12 individually stored parameters, including:







ScanGaugeII features 63 backlit colors.

A large, high-contrast LCD display makes viewing the information easy,

and both the display and keys are backlit and can be set to off, low, or

high. With 63 possible colors, user settings, tank trip data, and vehicle

settings that are automatically saved, and up to 10 user commands that

can be stored and recalled, the ScanGaugeII can be easily customized to

suit your needs.

I bought this item in the beginning of Janruary thinking hey this is pretty

cool, Ill have realtime gas mileage, engine temp, etc. just like the fancy

cars (Apparently I bought my Honda Accord package one step down from

the ones that display these features). I didnt think I would be using the

code scanner anytime soon. Well, two weeks ago I was replacing my cars

stereo and had unplugged the battery cable. When I was finished and

pluged the battery back in and started the car, my check engine light came

on. I cursed a few times (because the check engine light is sooo helpful),

but then remembered about this gadget. What better time to try it out? I

turned it on and hit the button and got three error codes. I wrote down the

codes, searched them on the computer and apparently I had tripped a

sensor when I plugged the battery back in. The information I found said to

reset the code and if the light doesnt come on again, I am ok. Went back to

the car, reset the codes, and everything works fine. Then I thought about

how much hassle the dealership would have put me through just to reset

this stupid code. Definitely worth my money.
