UltraGauge for $60?? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Shinare · 12-15-2010, 09:28 AM

Just saw this on HD Theater channel last night. And after I just spent $40 on an ecometer! Dangit!

Oh well, my flub-up is your gain. I thought I would post about it if anyone knows anything about this or has had or getting one they could discuss.

lol I saw this yesterday too, were you watching "Chasing classic cars"?

Shinare · 12-15-2010, 10:10 AM

^ Yup!

I like the display better than the scangauge! If the RPM's refresh faster than scangauge, then it would be pretty sweet.

That looks like a really nice product for a great price. Something like this really demonstrates how manufacturing a product in China might not help the US economy, but it sure is a win for the US consumer.

This would have already been on the way to me if I had not just purchased an ecometer. Love the trouble codes features and the reset of the check engine light.

Did some research on it, and now I want it.

It's $68.95 before the $9.00 rebate.

Man, and I just got a $100 gift card for Christmas from my sister!! I was just about to pull the trigger and thought,ya know, I can figure mileage and stuff....I reall want better tunes in my car. I think I'll go shopping at Crutchfield this time.

annn · 12-19-2010, 07:39 PM

I don't even use my sg for mileage.. It all about the guages and code access...

I believe the ScanGauge still has more compatiblity than both the UltraGauge and EcoMeter. On ScanGauge's website they list most post-1995 cars for compatiblity while the EcoMeter and UltraGauge rely on something called CAN that most 2008+ cars support.

CAN Bus became a requirement for OBDII in 2008, although many manufacturers (like Toyota) had switched from ISO-9141 to CAN (ISO-15765) a couple years earlier. Most pre-CAN bus vehicles don't support the PIDs (Parameter ID's) necessary to calculate MPGs. For example, If I plug my scangauge II into my 2004 Xterra it can't display MPG.
