Anyone use this product? I like this as a alternative to having pillar gauges. http://www.scangauge.com/products/scangaugeii/

Look into the app "TORQUE" it costs like 10$ and works with a bluetooth OBD connector 20$. With the app and OBD connector, your phone now can put out live data in the picture of gauges for almost every sensor. Def pretty cool for 30$. Oh and you can pull and clear check engine light codes

Agreed. ELM 327 bluetooth adapters are relatively cheap, works very well with Torque and can be had for less than $20 on Amazon. Another option is the Garmin ecoRoute HD paired with a compatible Nuvi or with your Android phone running Garmin Mechanic(free!). Sorry, I know none of these suggestions address the OP's original question about the scangauge, but hopefully it will be useful.

I have been using a Scangauge on my S2000s for the past 4 years succesfully.

Neat interface, professional looking piece of kit and works beautifully well. A few people have installed them in their cars - they look the part.

I bought one mainly to monitor intake temps after I added a snorkel to my oem box. I never thought of running it permanently though I carry it in my car all the time in case I need to clear a CEL. I just keep mine loosely placed around the center console. For those who have mounted theirs where have you guys placed them within the car ?.

Just bought one of the orange & blue ones & downloaded Torque Lite (free). I can do everything I want from pull & clear codes to set up a bunch of gauges. THe paid version has more stuff, but those are like 1/4 mile timers and such, which aren't needed IMO.

It works awesomely and recommend it 100%. Like $17 total , so much win.
