Product Description
The ScanGaugeII is a compact vehicle computer that connects to the diagnostic connector in seconds and gives you an extensive trip computer, real time gauges and trouble code reader.

Installation takes only seconds and requires no tools. It can be moved from car to car. Works on gas, diesel, propane, and hybrid vehicles. The ScanGaugeII works on all OBDII protocols including the new CAN protocol.Amazon.com
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 vehicle’s On-Board Diagnostic (OBDII) port and communicates directly with the vehicle’s 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 there’s 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 vehicle’s 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 was going last night. If the unit was disconnected, you’ll know: An indicator will be displayed in the trip data.

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 mechanic’s 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 don’t 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:

- Average Speed
- Maximum Coolant Temperature
- Maximum RPM
- Driving Time
- Driving Distance
- Fuel Used
- Fuel Cost

Personalize It
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’ve used this product with some solid success, yet I’ve actually found that this gas crisis is so out of hand, I’ve resorted to drastic measures.

Mileage Indicator have been very old technology that came in stock (part of the speedometer) to many vehicles all the way back in the 1999. Eg: most of the BMW 3 series. Plus you could help yourself save money for gas by developing a better driving habit (slow down on the acceleration, keep constant speed, etc…) rather than spending extra 150 for this device that only tells you how much gas you are using. Nevertheless, this device would be highly inaccurate for older vehicles anyways since older car inevitably inefficient compare to newer cars, resulting in lower gas mileage. Common sense, think about it. They might make money of from others not so informed buyer but never from me.

I played around with the ScanGuage for about 2 months. To long to return the unit. The only thing this device is good for is to run my battery down, to the point my car will not start. The mfg will not even respond to my email.

I like to try and squeeze all I can out of a tank full and this item does very little to that end.
You can calculate your mpg yourself. Don’t need to see some stupid fluctuating readout for this.
I drive a Honda so the other info that the device displays is unnecessary.
Lastly, You can have your codes read for free at most auto parts stores.
BIG POSITIVE for Amazon - A refund was granted with no problems.

I connected this unit and usedit for a 2 weeks. Then I took a trip of 550 miles round trip.With my vehicle set on cruise at 72 MPH the gauge was showing miles per gallon of from 8 to 14. When arriving I filled up and computed the MPG using the trip gauge in my car and I averaged 36MPG. The same happened on the return trip. BAAD NEWS FOR ME>>>>
