scan gauge 2 v ultra gauge

[120prado Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close 120prado]

Ok want to get something like the scan gauge and found a thing called the ultra gauge. Doesn't pretty much anything the scan gauge does plus has a nice big screen readout and is onlyhalf the price of a scan gauge. Things I don't like about it is that the buttons are on the back so mounting options are less. It looks goods but also looks a little slow.
So my question has anyone got the ultra gauge and what are your thoughts. Might consider getting one if they are.
And what are people's thoughts on the scan gauge 2
Cheers, Aaron

I went the scan gauge option and can't fault it.
Great for auto temp when towing (not applicable in your case).
Sits on top of the steering wheel surround and not really obstrusive.

IMHO if you have an android device, Torque on the phone/tablet and a Bluetooth ODBII dongle is a much better choice plus a total cost of about $40 inc $5 for the App. Can do everything the above mentioned can plus much more

Cheers guys I was originally looking at the scan gauge. And I've seen the Bluetooth dongle but would prefer a dedicated unit

Does anyone have experience with the ELM327 blue tooth dongles? Are they any good?

I also was looking at the scan gauge but opted for the obd2 plug when i was doing my car pc install. Plug cable and software $40. Does fault codes aswell as all on board diagnostics. Recent trip away towing the Outback Expanda.

I ended up ordering the bluetooth version. I'll give it a go on my tablet and phone when the unit arrives.

I've been using a ELM327 blue tooth module for a few months with no problems.

However, coming back from up north this weekend the car threw up a strange brake fault on the dash warning lights. After looking for the problem for a while I pulled the module and the fault disappeared.

I have been using a Scanguage for sometime (mounted on the steering column). Fantastic tool and very versatile. The first guage I bought was faulty and the supplier from Lithgow NSW replaced it immediately.
