    Check out this new OBD II product from Garmin

    Damn, santa just bought me a Scanguage II for christmas, then this thing gets announced. :evil:
    It basically provides a blutooth link between your OBD II port and certain Gamin Nuvi GPS devices, displaying all the info in an instrument cluster style interface.

    Comes out in March.

          Not much chance of that happening to me. She is a fantastic woman, but driving a diesel economically has not been her strong point for the past 25 years.

            I might get one also......... my 765 is not compatible , i should think it would work on petrol and diesel motors. Looks good but ..... does it work while in nav mode, will it multi task eg bluetooth at the same time ? give instructions for nav while on the diagnostic screen ,then will the traffic reports still come over ? well we will have to wait till march, might have to pre order one , and put the scan gauge out of a job,, .......

              I take it this would not be compatible with a 90 series? As far as I know, it does not have OBD II...?

                      You have a diagnostic plug but it's not an OBDII plug, nor does it run any of the ISO data protacols.

                      The 120 with a 1kz has an OBDII plug but still doesn't run an ISO standard protacol either(As those that have tried a Scangauge have found out!)

                      120 V6 and D4D should be fine

                            Not to try to steal the thread, but I've already installed obd2 software on my little eeepc (free software for the obd2 i might add), the pc i normally use for navigation in car with a garmin 76csx hooked up to ozi and i'm bidding on an obd2 plug setup for about 30 odd bucks on ebay which i can plug into the pc. obviously works out cheaper than buying a whole new gps setup. besides, i already run a fantastic gps, why do i need another???

                            anyway here's some screen shots....

                              I'll be interested to know how you go with this. Do you know if it can display Auto Trans temp?
