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.  ScanGaugeII mounts easily to your dash.
| Gauges include: - Horsepower
- Fuel Consumption Rate to 1/100th per gallon/liter
- Vehicle 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 vehicle's 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 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:  ScanGaugeII features 63 backlit colors.
View Larger | - Maximum Speed
- Average Speed
- Maximum Coolant Temperature
- Maximum RPM
- Driving Time
- Driving Distance
- Fuel Used
- Fuel Cost
- Trip Fuel Economy
- Distance to Empty
- Time to Empty
- Fuel to Empty
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.

 Saves Gas-Paid for itself July 4, 2008
I have been able to increase the mileage on my '98 high mileage Ranger pickup from mid 17s all the time to mid 20s all the time now. No small deal. Other people I know who got one of these or something similar all seem to get about 10% better by some changes in driving behavior. It's human nature to see how well you can do. By watching some more engine parameters than just gas mileage, I am able to optimize shift points, speeds, etc. If you have a car that already has a capable trip computer, you probably won't need this, although this will give you far more information. The added benefit of reading and RESETTING check engine codes is a really big deal. I used several times, saving plenty of money. I agree the manual is ummmm, not so good, but like another reviewer said, you can download the manual.
There are lots of good reviews here to give you a decent feel for the device. All I add is, "GO FOR IT!"
 Great Product July 3, 2008
Will keep you aware of how much gas your using. Lots of other functions, well worth the money.
ScanGauge is wonderful July 3, 2008
This tool is wonderful for monitoring real-time fuel usage and engine gauges. I have increased by MPG from 32 to 39 by just watching closer to how the reacts to different road conditions and driving habits.
ScanGauge II 3-in-1 works well for my Jetta TDI July 3, 2008
Shipped in good condition, I customized the installation, and it works as advertized. It is not as easy to read as other instruments on the dashboard when it is sunny, but it is reasonable.
I use it mostly from fuel milage readings.
Scan Gauge July 2, 2008
Great product, easy to install, and very useful in getting improved fuel economy. Only one problem: I visited a local airfield and the radar or aircraft navigation/communications emissions, caused me to have to unplug and do a restart of the unit. It came right back up again after I left the airport.
