I'm making a mount for it from some kydex I have. I'll post pics when it's done.

Code:

MPH       RPM
MPG       V

I rarely use the speedo on the car, the displey is so course I can't tell if I'm doing 71mph or 76mph quickly and since I'm surrounded by speed cameras I need to know for sure I'm doing under 10mph over, that when the camera gets you. So I use the speedo on the scanguage.

My current default setup is like this:

Code:

MPG	RPM
WT	V

I like the WT (water temperature) because I use an engine block heater and because I can go for long distances with the engine turned off (FAS), and I like the V (battery voltage) because I use a solar charger and because I restart the engine a lot (due to FAS'ing).

This Fall/Winter I will trade the V display for IAT because I plan on insulating my engine and blocking the grills to help keep the block and fluids warm (this helps with fuel efficiency in the cold months), so I'll need to monitor how the IAT affects the WT for a while, at least until I get it all "dialed in". I'll need to use the IAT reading again in the Spring to help determine when to un-block the griils and whatnot.

Sorry fo bumping this thread up again...but i have a quick question....
Does the scanguage function as a tach as in, tell you your rpm? I know it tells me max rpms on a trip, but I'm wondering can it tell me my rpm as I go from a complete stop to cruising to changing gears before redline....?

Thanks ~

Just wondering if it shows rmps consistantly....like an actual rpm gauge does...?? From stop to go, to stop again while driving~

I emailed the guy, but all he said was.....it tells you rpms of up to 9999.

I have a scanguage II and I usually have it on the rpm setting. You can have 4 settings on the screen at the same time obviously choose what you want (cause there's more than four). Anway the rpm one is digital so there is A LITTLE delay, but its relatively quick as far as showing the change of rpm and yes from start to stop or cruising, and since its digital its going to jump around a lot, but it works, if that makes sense. To be honest when I first got it I was a little disapointed in the rpm display but I'm still happy with it. I generally know what rpm certain speeds are. I have an auto so its not like I really need it but its fun to know. And no its not analog like a tach usually is, its digital.

Hope that helps!

Thanks ECHOKnight2000, I really appreciate your response to that.

I guess I wont mind a couple seconds of delay...just as long as I know about where in the clutch releasing it reaches a certain rpm before giving it gas.

It shows timing but I haven't quite figured out how to read it yet. My commute can bring it all the way down to 3 or all the way up to 32, and it seems to hang around 22-23 when driving with steady throttle on flat ground and calm RPM.

I have just sighted this ScanGauge Mounting kit on eBay. What do you guys think? Other than the price, it looks like it might be the perfect addition to the ScanGauge.

BailOut · 07-06-2007, 05:20 PM

tk-421,

I'd pay $10 or $15 for something like that, but not $45.

Running the cable up to the windshield would be a PITA, too, but would look nice once it's done.
