Default Ultra-gauge

I needed a voltmeter after my battery discharged so I got an Ultra-gauge

It attaches to the OBDII port and reads info off the ECU

This thing is small about the size of a credit card and it also clear CEL codes

It is also easy to mount anywhere and I mounted it on the hardtop latch

I haven't tested it much but so far I like it, the refresh rate is pretty quick
Not bad for $80 bucks

It depends, you have to check for your year

But it has over 50 different parameters for '06 and up

I mounted mine in my radio door. It's been there now for a a few months. Don't have a pic right now, but maybe I can snap one later.

Pros:
- Extremely readable, even with the top down and direct sunlight
- Easy to use
- Multiple "pages" or screens with custom displays
- Alarm/Warning feature (e.g. beep at above X engine temp)
- Price
- Acts as real-time gauge and code reader.

Cons:
- Limited usefulness as real-time gauge. I'm only using it to monitor Engine Temp and Intake Air Temp.
- Bastards never sent me my rebate or responded to emails. (Looks like they're not doing a rebate right now).

I still have mine but never installed it in the s2000. I originally ordered it for my '10 mazdaspeed3 because they don't have anything to monitor coolant temp and after adding an intake to it I added fuel trims to the main page too. What do you guys have set up to monitor on it?

Too bad the ECU doesn't have an oil pressure gauge
otherwise it would be perfect!
