I recently bought an older car to use as a daily driver. I want to stay on top of its condition, and idiot lights don't tell that there's a problem until it's too late. The ScanGauge allows me to see actual numbers and trends, so I can tell if there's a problem before it becomes a crisis. The X-Gauge features allow me to program additional gauges for my car, for even more info. Great product!

I bought this product to keep an eye on my trans temp while towing, it does a great job. I love the real time of the digital readout. I just wish i could get engine oil pressure. anyway, easy to use and a lot faster than buying a single gauge,finding a place for the sending unit etc. X gauge is awesome.

I installed the ScanGauge II in my '09 Mini Cooper S in about 20min. Most of that time was spent running the cable for a clean instal. Setup was straight forward and instructions were clear. Highly Recomended...

I bought a 2009 Hyundai Elantra. It has NO temperature gauge! I was going to install a gauge, but found out about the scangauge through searching online. It works great and is super easy to install, just plug it into the appropiate jack, usually under the dash and it works. I get my temp gauge and voltage and instant MPG. There are a multitude of other gauges to choose from.

How well will the scan gauge work for a 2002 Toyota Prius ? Will I need additional software ? Will it diagnose and clear codes ? Is it easy to use ? Does it work easily right out of the box ? I also have a 2003 Ford F150 Harley Davidson edition 5.4 supercharged truck, will the scan gauge work on this as well ? I guess my ? Is will the scan gauge work on multiple vehicles equally well ? For a novice mechanic is it easy to use ?

Hi, OBDII is OBDII whether you have a Toyota, Ford, Honda, Nissan, Dodge or pretty much anything else sold in the USA after 1997. You can easily read a clear trouble codes right out of the box with it.

Does this gauge show engine oil and transmission oil temperature when installed in a 2002 Toyota Tacoma?
Answered by Nathan S. — Nov 09, 2012 10:17 AM
Hi, Sorry, no. You would have to add trans and oil temp gauges with their sending units as your truck doesnt have the sensors from the factory to read those temps. http://www.autoanything.com/gauges/65A4129A0A0.aspx

I know DTC means diagnostic trouble code, but what it that?
Answered by Elizabeth C. — Jun 28, 2012 11:03 AM
DTC stands for Diagnostic Trouble Codes. When your vehicle has a problem and shows the check engine light, the onboard computer has a code for it. The programmer will show you the code so you can fix the problem, and then it’ll clear the code (saving you an expensive trip to the dealership). And, if the repair is beyond your scope of ability, at least you know what the problem is before you head to the mechanic.
