Scanguage II

[Black_Out]

Thinking of buying one of these Scangauge II's, anyone ever used one? Seems like a mighty useful little device :cool:

I have one in the MM and love it, I leave my readings on RPM, MPH, MPG and Water Temp. You can also add in things like crank HP output, fuel level in % amount and some other stuff. Plus it's good for reading and clearing codes and if you don't mount it in the car it will work with any OBD-II (1996 and up) vehicle you have.

love mine, well worth it

The scanguage is very cool, what was the other guage that had the MM godshead on the display, that fit where the autometers are now? It was pretty cool too!

[Black_Out]

Cool, now I just have to convince my girl to buy me one for my birthday lol :D

I have it in place of the voltmeter and usually have it on Trans Temp and Voltage.

[ImpalaSlayer]

love mine, it goes retarded some times but other wise i love it. really saved me when my alt took a dump, you can actually get a water temp instead of "normal" and read the exact voltage. i usually have these 4 up

IAT
water temp
volts
tps

Thank You Sir!

I really like mine mounted in the dash and it gives me real time feedback on about 15 different things!!!:bows::beer::banana2:

[FordNut]

Mine is mounted above the mirror using a blendmount bracket. Normally set for MPG, IAT, Water Temp, ??? something else I can't recall at the moment.

[musclemerc]

Could you post a pic of it installed with the blendmount bracket?

[ctrlraven]

I would of mounted mine where MarauderJack and Zack did theirs but it's come in handle when I've tripped a CEL on a customers car and cleared it. lol I keep mine right at the base of the steering column so I have everything directly in front of me.

Black Out, you can usually find them for $150-160 with free shipping on eBay, that's where I got mine.

[ctrlraven]

I've been asked if that was my turbo timer or boost controller lol

Ignition Timing is the other one I usually have mine set for.

Looks AWESOME, but isn't it a bit hard to see?

I think I'll either Velcro mine or make something custom :beatnik:

[musclemerc]

I like that, you got a real heads up view. This could be my next mod.

thats right, thats what i ususaly have up, not tps

[1stMerc]

Just bought a second one, but haven't figured out where i'm going to mount it. The first one is dash mounted like Zack and MarauderJack's. Probably just attach it atop the steering column.

Yup, that's what nav's for. Put mine in the same place. Zack's is there too. Mine is currently monitoring water temp, intake temp, fuel pressure and ignition timing.

[252life]

I'm very happy with mine, I use it view MPG, Fuel Pressure, Trans temp and IAT.
(There are instructions on how to program the vehicle specific guages on their web page)

The HP reading is not very useful, it's not accurate. (you need a G-Tech for that)

I started to do that with mine, but the compass circuit board has the map light switches integrated so I decided to go with the blendmount instead of hacking up the circuit board.

It actually easy to do.

If you notice in my pictures that console isn't the factory one.....

Yeah, yours looks like a short one.

I had the green LED mod done to my switches a long time ago and didn't want to lose that or have to re-do it.

I'm going to do the green LED mod this summer.

[babbage]

I have mine stuck (dab of black RTV) to the dash on the drivers side edge right near the registration - inspection stickers. Easy to reach, easy to glance down at, easy to install and change function. I can't imagine having it up high, it looks great up there but looses convenience.

[Black_Out]

Looks great up there in the overhead console ;) Alot of cool ideas here guys!

Not at all....but it's not watched like a speedometer though!!:cool4:

Send me your console & ScangaugeII and I'll mount it in the console for you. I'll even supply the extra cable & connector so you can hook up the ScangaugeII.

I won't have the cash to buy mine until May (my birthday :D)

x2. I was lucky enough to win mine here on the .net as part of a raffle. Like it a lot and it has more settings than I will probably be able sit still long enough to figure out!!!!!!!!!

Best,

[LANDY]

after having my aeroforce, i think either or are a must for our cars.

[Mike]

Had one in my other Marauder and loved it!

What color scheme did everyone settle on. I went with silver background with blk letters to try and match the matrix trin and dash gauges.

I now have two of them connected and while trying two get both to match, found the new one is a different revision than the first 3.14 vs 3.17. New one is a little brighter.

i wana see dual scan gauges lol. i went with a green that is close to factory

[Black_Out]

Can you change the color yourself? Or you have to order it in a certain color?

I'll snap some picks this weekend,:D

Under home-more-dispay you get to choose your diplay color.

[ctrlraven]

Yeah it has preset color or you can make your own shades, a lot of different colors to choose from.

I have mine on a medium red, the green was just too bright for me and at night I dim my interior lights anyways to half way.

[FordNut]

Under home-more-dispay you get to choose your diplay color.

I wish you could invert it so it matches the rest of the instruments. Green backlit with dark letters is close, but green letters with dark backlit would be a perfect match.
