ScanGauge2 vs Ultragauge
scangauge2
http://www.scangauge.com/ or ultragauge http://www.ultra-gauge.com/ultragauge/index.htm im kind of leaning towards the ultragauge because of its lcd screen and cause you can see more data at once. anyone have the ultragauge that can give their opinion on its performance? :) |

I think cost would decide it for me.
What is a Scangauge going for these days? I paid $150 for mine 3 years ago. I do like the mounting system of the Ultra, ala' GPS, and the price $69.

Does Ultragauge do metric units yet? I prefer L/100km over MPG.
I desperately wish I could use Torque on Blackberry or my iPod Touch. I don't use a smart phone, but I have access to an older unused Blackberry. |

if it can do metrics then i am sold!, but i am worried about what they save on leaving it in the sun, do the scangauge owners leave their units in the sun or do they take them off?

I have both. I have never had an issue with mine being in the sun. I will say that the ultragauge gave me an alarm the firts time it hit like 150 degrees or so but then I just disabled the alarm.
they are very comparable. not sure if th UG does metric (not aplicable to me). I have had the UG for a year and change and the SG for close to 5. both work well, both good products. the UG wasn't around when I got my SG. both of mine are pretty much in direct sunlight all the time. no issues yet. |

At less than half the cost of the SGII, I'd say the choice is simple.
