ScanGauge3 All New Touch Screen OBD2 Code Reader, Digital Gauges & Trip Computer with WiFi Updates SG3

Very cool device... allows real-time monitoring of MANY vehicle performance parameters, far beyond those available on even the most sophisticated dashboard instruments. I can monitor output horsepower real time... for my Ford Ranger, it shows about 80 to 100 hp to get up to speed on a highway on ramp.... cruising hp is 25 or so on a typical road at 45 mph. Also have it showing coolant temp, cat temp, manifold temp, etc. Excellent device for monitoring trends and maybe even spotting problems before they become a major issue.

I'd say 4.5 stars. Not 5 stars.If you are familiar with the ScanGuage II, this displays more info. It is worth the money to upgrade. I have been a fan of my ScanGuage II for years. I bought it many years back, when taking a trip out west through the mountains pulling a camping trailer. I wanted to monitor my transmission temperature. Over the years, I have used it to pull check engine light DTC codes and fix things.This new one has different screen displays for the info depending on what you are wanting it to display. It can dispaly more guages on the screen.The ScanGuage II gives you the fault code. You had to look up what it was. This gives what the code means, no need to look up.Other improvements.Color display.The ability to track your day's driving, not just from the last time the engine was turned on.X guages are easier.It is a bit larger than the II. Not bad, smaller than the old GPS's.Overall I like it. I would buy again.So why 4.5 stars?Getting at, and clearing the codes, is a little harder than the older II. Not bad. It seems as if I have to take an extra step.The old ScanGuage II, had plugs for the cable on the back and the side. This only has the back plug. So you can't mount it flat on the dash.The communication cable has strain relief on it. I like that, but it makess it stick out pretty far behind the guage. It makes the cable a little difficult to string when doing a permanent mount.I fixed this by getting set of very short M/F - RJ45 extension cables with built in 90s on the male end. The set of cables have one in each 90 degeee direction. They sell a set of M/F 90 degree adapter fittings too. These work, but stick out a shade more than the extension cables, maybe a quarter inch or so more. There have been no issues communicating with either type adapter.ScanGuage, if you are checking reviews for suggestions, please bring back a side or bottom input plug.Consider a software update customers could download that would allow you to set the orentation of the screens so the guage could be mounted portrait or landscape.Consider including a RJ45 90 degee adapter. They make one that swivels 360 degrees so you can set it in the direction you want the cable to go.

First of all this is a great company! They have great products and even better customer service! Took care of me with a few problems and questions within two days. The product itself is well made and packaged very nicely. Installation is a breeze and comes with everything you need to mount it. Suction cup is super sturdy and holds The gauge firmly. I do recommend adding some superglue to the metal plate that attaches to the actual scangauge as it tends to not stick on that plastic quite as well. Unit is very bright and easily readable from all angles. Can be customized from pages to colors to brightness. Lots of customization options. Does a great job at delivering important vital information such as oil temps coolant temps and transmission temps. Note that every car is different and some cars don’t have these sensors from factory and this will not show up. Unit is also a scam tool for diagnostics which is nice. If your car doesn’t show temps for certain things on your dash then this is the purchase for you. I can now see my trans temp and coolant temps live in case anything staters climbing you can catch it. System let’s you set parameters for alerts so u don’t have to be paying full attention all the time. Overall im very pleased and happy with this product.

I use it in my Sprinter motorhome. Easy set up and flexible display. Only issue I had is that I was unable to clear a scan code after it was fixed and the error code was removed in the Sprinter computer. Looks like it has to be unplugged and restarted again for it to clear. Also, it dos not clear codes in the vehicle's computer (although that may be a plus)

It's larger than the II, but works just fine and has more display. Customized it to my S2000, track gas fill-ups and several stats while driving. Warning beeps might annoy some but I like to know when i've hit 95% engine load, don't care, but it's nice to know when I'm hammering it. Cable is long enough to run thru the center console and the other side of the dash.

I never leave reviews, felt this product deserved one. It's solid, very user friendly, accurate and responsive it offers all the standard parameters/info you would expect and then some. Next the x gauge aspect offers even more, depends on your vehicles manufacturers measured parameters. 3 different screens to tweak and setup how you like. The window mount is the best I have ever witnessed w a stong magnet. Long story short it's like a constant customizable scan tool / gauge. 😆. Anyways, only disappointment I have is that my scan tool shows transmission tourqe converter temp and pan temp. And the scan gauge 3 only displays pan temp;however, it's my understanding if I contact the company they may be able to get that option turned on. Fingers crossed!! So no regrets here fellas!! It's a no nonsense set up.

Easy to set up, outstanding information
