Scangauge or ultra gauge

Does anyone in here use any of these? I have a scan gauge2 on my 4 runner and like the features. So I was thinking about putting one on my G but on the fence about it. Thanks

Not sure I would want to pay $169 for device like this.

You can use a cheap $10 ODB2 Bluetooth connector and your cellphone for much more information.

The app Torque on the google play store. You can grab a cell phone mount and have the live data in front of you.

On the runner I monitor intake air temp, I run it on the beach and on trails. I know if it gets hot my filter might be dirty. I monitor batt voltage, open and closed loop status, and throttle position. It also clears and read codes so it helps when i am on trails exploring!

You can do all that if you have a Android phone. Just buy a $15 Elm327 Bluetooth OBD Adapter and download Torque app. The paid version is like $8.

All you do is plug in the Bluetooth OBD adapter to the DLC than turn on your bluetooth on your phone to connect to the adapter. Once connected open Torque app and have fun

Wow that's really cool I need to try that . Wasn't there another option where you could see the gauges through the infinity screen in the car? What about that option?

Wow this Torque app is the bomb. Heck I was going to buy an aerforce for 250 bucks and "Torque" plus the OBD adapter and a extension cable with an on/off switch only cost me 35 bucks total!

Thanks guys saved me over 200 bucks! Try it out OP...!
