Great Product, Good Value, February 19, 2009
By MrChips from Monroe, MI

Pros: Easy to Install and Operate
Cons: None

"I have used this in both my 2000 Olds Intrigue and my 2002 Dodge Dakota. It works great in both vehicles.
Just plug it into the OBD2 Port and it is ready to go. It also turns itself off and on with the ignition switch.
The Velcro fasteners work well, there is enough for two vehicles.
Good price, I received a $50 gift card with my purchase.

Dual role, January 31, 2009
By Rexter from Heidelberg Germany

Pros: All the Features, PLUS a code reader
Cons: Installation can be ackward

"I needed a code reader and I got that plus much more. SO many features and options and I can reset the codes and now know what to fix. Gas mileage is no longer a guess and such features as water temp tell me when to turn on the heat. I don't want to take it out of my truck to use in the wife's car."

Great Gauge Display, January 1, 2009
By Richie836 from Punta Gorda, Florida

Pros: Many different colors and you can even turn the display color off (turn a color on at night) Many, many different gauges
Cons: Blinks as it turns off if the brightest color setting (any color) is not chosen

"Too bad only four different gauges are displayed at the same time with over 65 possibilities (including the XGauges). So many possible gauges to view for such a small price. Good size display. Quick and easy to install and use.

Read Installation and Operation manual fully before use. Keep it out of direct sunlight.

Scan Gauge, November 20, 2008
By Cliff48 from Traverse City, Mich.

Pros: Compat size, and ease of use

"I purchased the scan gauge to improve fuel economy in both of my cars. Handy and easy to use and understand. I feel the use of this gauge will help me to maximize fuel economy and check for malfuctions in my cars. Plan on using it for the next truck or car purchase."

Excellent Purchase, November 4, 2008
By EJim from Los Angeles

Pros: Easy to read while driving and easy to set up
Cons: Toyota Yaris OBD port is not in the best place, I keep kicking the cable

"If you want to maximize your mileage by adaptive means this is the best value on the market. My EPA highway mileage rating was 36, but I routinely get 42. Learn how to drive people! Best mileage in my 5 speed 08 Yaris was 48MPG from Stockton to Los Angeles."

Scanguage II great, helped get 32mpg car to 40mpg, October 3, 2008
By Chas2008 from KS
Appearance: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5
Quality/Construction: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5
Ease of Use/Installation: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5
Features: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Pros: EASY Install, Great features. Like the backlighting a lot.
Cons: Would like a computer connection to download data to PC for graphing

"Scanguage II installed in 35-40 seconds, started the car, it comes on and you set the gauges you want displayed. We used the XGuage function to create gauges for Current Trip MPG, Tanks MPG and Today's MPG. We display these along with the standard MPG gauge for a four-sided look at driving habits and results in near-real-time. Amazing what taking your foot off the gas, or putting in the clutch, or NOT running with cruise-control does for mileage... Get one of these! And, with free shipping, the best price around at JCW!"

Quality/Construction: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5
Ease of Use/Installation: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5
Features: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Pros: Instant Viewing of Car Data
Cons: Could look better, price

"I bought this to help me modify my driving style to save money on fuel. I wanted to see where my "Sweet spot" is, as well as take advantage of all of the other neat things it can do. I installed it directly on top of my 05 Wrangler's wheel column and fished the wire back behind the wheel and down to my OBDII port. It took a little while to get it set up right, but I am very pleased with my purchase."

Pros: Easy installation and functionality
Cons: Seems easily breakable

"I originally bought this device as a code reader, but have since then used it to its fullest capabilities. Some nifty, useful features are the trip computer for monitoring your MPGs, current gas tank level, and trip mileages. The backlight can be changed to a near-matching color for your car too.

One of the probably most overlooked features is reading your car's engine's sensors' outputs. Paired with the code reader, you're able to see when exactly your CEL went off and under what conditions.

Definitely a good buy! It WILL alter and improve your driving habits guaranteed.

Features: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Pros: soo simple to install/set-up and so accurate
