Not right now, you can do liters but the amount stays the same.

I was researching scanguage on the internet and read that an owner was having problems with a Rostra cruise control and Scanguage. Apparently they both were getting their signal from the ECU and if the cruise was on scanguage wouldn't work. Cruise would work if Scanguage was turned off though. Has anyone else had this kind of experience? If this is a problem, is there a workaround?

Mileage...I am not getting anthing near 35 of above in mileage, with 32.655 bing my best early last fall. I'm driving conservatively....although most of my driving is in town. I am just over the 2000 mile mark, and am hoping that it will improve as mileage goes up. Of course I realize that the extra cold winter that we have had here in Southern Michigan has taken its toll!

I will be getting an oil change in the near future, maybe that will make a positive difference.

I have an 08 with the dealer installed rostra cruise and my Scangauge works just fine.As for the crappy gas mileage it will get better as the temps heat up,snow tires come off and the gas gets reformulated to summer specs,on a trip last summer i was getting high 40'smpg highway,around town low 40's .

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks Jambo101 for the quick response, it's appreciated. Maybe the rostra/scanguage conflict was a fluke, and not the norm!

Scangauges are still in stock, and still at a price I can't advertise. PM if anyone is interested in one.

Klink10 · 03-05-2009, 10:45 PM

Got my Scangauge today. Thank you Micro Image for the great price and fast shipping. Folks, if you can.....shoot Garm a PM for the best deal out there bar none.

I ordered my Scangauge II today but I'm curious as to how it lights up? Does it automatically light when you turn the headlights on?

1NZYaris1 · 03-08-2009, 03:21 AM

automatically lights up when turned on , then you can change the color to
what ever you want

Has anyone tried using the 'Blendmount' to install their Scangauge II above the rearview mirror? It looks like a pretty good idea, just not sure if it'll fit since there's not much clearance between the mirror and windshield. Their website doesn't say what vehicles it works with, so I'm curious if any Yarii owners have tried this.

Was going to but I like you believe there will be a fitment issue. I am working on some ideas now, none of which include that.

LOL! Nice! Where were you before I wasted $45 on the Blendmount?

EasyDriver · 03-21-2009, 07:24 PM

Nice job...looks professional! How did you run the wiring?

I got one 2 days ago and just ran it around and under the right side of the steering column. It tucks right into a seam along that side and just stays in place (pretty well). It rests on top of the steering column and when I park it I just slide it into the left glove box.

Thanks
I just tuck the wire under the edge of the roof panel then removed the A pillar cover ,and then under the dash. 5 minute job.

MGargano · 03-20-2009, 12:46 AM

Anyone have a problem with the Scangauge saying 'Connecting...' then turning off after about a minute without giving any data? I tried all the troubleshooting FAQs in the manual, but none seem to get it working. Weird thing is, it was working fine for a week or so, until today.

yarisugi · 01-09-2010, 01:41 AM

I copy/pasted the trouble codes for Toyota and put it on one page.
Feel free to print it out and store it in your glovebox in case you need to reference it.
