Well, when you figure you are looking at $100 for a cheap OBD-II scanner, I figure this is really a good value.LaGrasta wrote:I would love to have one of these, but $170? Yikes!

I bought my first one for $120 off of someone on GasSavers.org. Someone was selling one for $90 on LOSTKJS.com recently.

Re: Scan Gauge II - 3 in 1 Automotive Computer
Love mine also - handy for the Tranny Temp and additional features - I have no code issues yet and hopefully it stays that way - but I'm prepared. I don't really care about the MPG - if I did I'd drive my car....

Re: Scan Gauge II - 3 in 1 Automotive Computer
There are also programs available with a special / custom cable plugged into your OBD1 or OBD2 diagnostic connector, and then into your laptop `puter, that allows you to instantly read every criteria that is happening with your engine. You are also able to pull trouble codes, and see diagnostic strategies.
I am typing on my BlackBerry right now, so I can`t post all the technical links, but do a Google search....
