I'm happy with my U-Scan from supercheap. It uses an Android or I-phone app to display the parameters you need.
They are selling it for $143. You will need to pay $8-$126 extra depending on which modules and how many different vehicles you want. I spent $15 for the drivechain module on all vehicles. At this stage it seems you need to use the generic vehicle settings for the Prado as its not listed. It works well. you can graph temps, revs or whatever parameter you choose.

AFAIK the Ultragauge does not give you Auto Trans Temp or Torque Convertor Temp. The Scangauge however, can be programmed to show these by using the X-gauge feature. That was the only difference I could find. I prefer the look of the Ultragauge, but wanted the ATF and TC temps because I've got an auto.[SIZE=2]120 GXL D4D Auto, with a 'List of Wants' greater than the 'List of Needs' greater than the 'List of Haves'

I can confirm that the ultragauge blue can display any scangauge x-gauge codes. I have both ATF and Torque Converter temps working flawlessly.2011 Blue Storm GXL D4D Auto, TJM T13 Bar, HR Towbar, GME TX3600 UHF, Tinted Windows, 15.1" DVD Player, Projecta 150A + 105Ah Marine Deep Cycle DBS, ABR Sidewinder ABD, Primus IQ brake controller, 40L Engel fridge and slide-lok, Ultragauge Blue ODBII

r4ndll, check out the knowledge base article here:

I had some issues getting the gauges shown for the 2.8 GXL Auto, but with the excellent support from Ultragauge, we were able to get them working. If anyone from Perth is interested in a Ultragauge Blue, I have a spare. P.M for info.

Are you guys running the bluetooth version of the ultra gauge via a iPhone? if so, how does it work with the cars bluetooth? e.g., if the phone is paired to the ultra gauge, and a call comes in etc....will it still go via the cars bluetooth? make sense?

I am using a Nexus 7 tablet on a ram mount for the Ultragauge and Oziexplorer connections and the cars Bluetooth is connected to my android phone, so no conflict there. I will check tomorrow night if I can connect both car and Ultragauge simultaneously to my Android phone and see what happens when a call is received.
