http://www.scangage.com/ is back on the market. Bought mine tuesday :biggrin: but my main question, where is the obdii connector on the US version? I took a quick look under the dash and didn't see it.



Ok, jsut got mine, he'res the pics (hope you dont mind my crappy camera phone:

Inside me yaris:

Upclose:
This is what i'll probaly use for my setup:
http://clantnp.net/hosted/ass/images/yaris/sg_standard.jpg

MPG, RPM, MPH, TPS (Throttle)
http://clantnp.net/hosted/ass/images/yaris/sgr1.jpg

fWT (water temp), fIA (air intake temp), VLT (volts duh), GPH (gallons per hour)
http://clantnp.net/hosted/ass/images/yaris/sgr2.jpg

IGN (timing), CLSD LP (closed/open loop), LOD (engine load), MAP (manifold pressure)
http://clantnp.net/hosted/ass/images/yaris/sgr3.jpg

http://clantnp.net/hosted/ass/images/yaris/sgr4.jpg

Note the yaris doesnt' give out MAP or FPR (fuel pressure)
Also if you do buy one, i just found the velcro inside the manual, never botherd to read it, lol.

It can also display up to like 60 diff back lit colors

It's directly to the right of the hood release - it's sort of hidden, facing downwards.

After visiting the web page I ordered one! I will use it in my Ford until the Yaris HB comes in. The check engine light comes on in 2006 Ford often. It costs $60 to have the mechanic turn off the light.
Also one of the Scanguage readouts is a tach!
Cool a tach on my 5 speed HB!
I am willing to bet that the Scanguage comes in before my Yaris.

HB on order since 4/1/06 Still waiting.

Wonder where to put it tho, i'm thinkin just ontop the gauge cluster, or maybe right in front on the dash. Gotta have it up somewhere high tho. I had a mpg guage in my aurora, i looked at it more than my spedo :)
why?

That looks 100 times better than the old one did.

I bought an auttera dyno and this shows me getting about 50 mpg but am actually doing about 38 mpg but I am taking different roads to and from work to vary speeds and loads during first few miles.
Mine does at least 110 mph but didn't try to push it as I only had just over a mile to do it in.

Hmmm ... this might be a viable option for a tach and much more.

Ordered mine today, I'm going to probably install it permanently in my RS underneath the stereo as a trip computer to round out the centre stack...

how hard was the install? for a person with auto knowledge? I have installed turbo kits flawlessly so I know my way around cars. is it like plug and play or is there any wire cutting and splicing..

It plugs into the OBDII diagnostic connector under the dash...This powers it, so no additional wires needed....

Yea, easy install, i just took the panels by the radio off and ran the wire to infront of the gauge cluster.

Got mine, very cool! For now I have just ran the cable under the steering wheel into the drivers glove-compartment. Here is a pic, I just open the glove-compartment when I want to see the RPM/WaterTemp/Mpg, etc :cool:

If the glove-compartment door isn't real expensive, I might order another one, and cut a hole out, then mount it to the door itself :rolleyes:

i'm wondering how much the driver compartment door will be too, i'd like to mount my tach in it and i plan on also buying a scangauge2...

Awesome! Thanks for the Write-up on the Scangauge unit!!! I'm gonnna have to get me one of those. Does the MPG seem correct after a few tanks of gas?? do you end up filling up with the same amount as it states you use?


THANKS AGAIN!!

I have a scanguage II and its amazing! I asked about the mpg in another thread and I believe its fairly correct...there's instructions in the booklet on how to set up the device for mpg...you have to put in your engine size, size of tank and go to the fill-up section and push done everytime you fill up. It tells you miles you driven, average mph, max rpm just driven and so on.
