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.

- 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.

This item's description does not specify what vehicles it will and will not work with,it will not work with many vehicles . I happen to have 4 vehicles and it will only work with two of them. It does work fine with the ones that it will work with.
 Worth it's weight in gold!!!! Easy to use!!!! July 19, 2008

My husband and I purchased this scanguage because we were not getting the gas mileage we had been expecting with our new car. Being able to see real-time reporting of the MPG, Throttle, Engine Load, etc has enabled us to improve our gas mileage by TEN miles a gallon. Then you add in all of the things we used to calculate manually like $ cost per trip, per day, gallons left in the tank, average mgp for trip, day, previous day and even the whole tank. This thing is SUPER easy to configure and will pay for itself in just a few months.

As others have said it's a very good product. If your vehicle has lots of gauges on the instrument panel such as my silverado, there is some redundency. But, I have taken my MPG from 20.5 to 24.9 based on watching my throttle position and my MPG. But thats considering that I am using methods to maximize gas mileage such as tons of coasting and shifting into neutral. If I simply did regular driving while being cognizant of the information the scanGauge provides I would probably experience a 10% fuel savings.
The velcro method for attaching to the dash is mediocre but works.
Great Product July 16, 2008

The ScanGauge-II does everything it claims to do. It is very handy for watching my fuel economy, among other things. I do not regret buying this product at all.

Heavily overpriced, honestly, the electronics in this gadget can't be more than $20, if more commonly used. Every car should come with this anyways!
But I will say it has changed my driving style, i can watch the MPG updated every second, and over the last 3 or 4 fillups I have saved at least 10% without any serious effort. Manual is pretty clear. Cable is long enough for people in the backseat to play with it.
