SD looks like you beat me to it and had it covered!

Thanks!

Here in Europe Yaris have own computer which shows current xxl/100km, average consumption and average speed.

In USA versions do not have this?

Nope; but the BMWs I had in Germany did...

Twistoffate,

You should be fine leaving it plugged in. Mine has been plugged in every day since I got it through heat and cold with no issues.

but if you do unplug it, it saves the data to memory, so no worries there

Oooh! Just read this whole thread. I'm gonna have to get me one of these babies! :)

pawsplus · 03-15-2010, 09:58 AM

Got my Ecometer and had a great time trying it out yesterday -- was on the road most of the day so had plenty of opportunity. I really like it! I had no idea how much gas I was using doing certain things -- esp. how much difference it really DOES make to accellerate SLOOOWLY. I love seeing 200 mpg going down hills in DFCO!

Twistoffate0817 · 03-17-2010, 06:24 PM

Okay it is official! I love this thing. I am still in my break in period (only 9,500 miles on car) and winter temperatures..and i am averaging 33-34 mpg. Pretty good considering i only do short trips everyday!

1stToyota · 03-24-2010, 09:15 AM

Okay, I know nothing about this autometer...is the cable permanently affixed to the gauge or can it be disconnected/unplugged? It would need to be able to unplug because of the way I would want to mount it if I purchased this.

...and I don't know if it's been mentioned yet because I didn't follow the whole thread but I see that it's cheaper than $52.00

yah it hooks into the OBD port.... plug and play bro. just mount it with something reusable and you should be fine.

Thanks for the reply, but what I was really asking was does it actually unplug @ the gauge/unit itself, or is it wired in permanently? I know that the OBDII port powers the unit. I should have been more clear.

edit: I looked at some photos on the thread...doesn't look like it's removable.

MadMax · 03-24-2010, 11:00 AM

The ecometer itself is attached using velcro, so it can be used on more than one vehicle although I don't know how that works. Hopefully someone who has one has done so, and can explain.

I am contemplating one as well, but would like to use it not only in my Yaris but Jeep Wrangler too!

By the way, with shipping J.C. Whitney comes to $63.83; is there any better prices out there? Garm?

Cheers! M2

1stToyota · 03-24-2010, 12:16 PM

Why I wanted to know if cable detatches from the actual gauge was so I'd be able to run cable through door wiring harness...boot?, I guess you'd call it..., run cable behind driver's door panel and mount gauge on the dummy p/w trim piece.

Sodium Duck · 03-24-2010, 04:38 PM

You'd have to cut it if you wanted to do that. It's only three wires -- that'd be cool to mount it on the arm rest area.

ezhacker1 · 03-29-2010, 03:49 PM

I got an update on the ecometer

I noticed that my mpg went down having my AFE intake in, and actual mpg was 10% lower than Ecometer's. Like i have said before actual and ecometer mpg was spot on with stock intake. So i went back to stock intake, fresh tank, filled up got 34.0 on eco meter, guess what got 34.0 actual.

hat was with as much DFCO as i could do. Next to try out is as much nuetral coasting as possible. DFCO still doesnt make sense to me, the gauge moves up slower in "DFCO" than in "Neutral". One would think that actual would be higher than ecometer if DFCO cuts off gas, compared to Neutral.
