propower,

Try www.pradopoint.com and do a search.

Many members are using the Scangauge on their Prados.

after reading through prado point it sounds very handy.
Would really love to see the fuel consumption in realtime to find sweet spots, aswell as temps etc.
will dwell on this till next week =] might get one.

ahh please excuse the ignorance but can somebdy tell me what a scan gauge II is ? or even a I :-)

Shane,

Try this http://www.scangauge.com/

It has a extensive trip computer, voltmeter, tachometer, speedometer, coolant temperature, air intake temperature etc.

spyroeast is getting one. He's my guinea pig and if it works well, I might be interested in it.

Does any one know if a Pyrometer can be hooked up to this thing??? I have a thermo coupling... just need to know if that can be read on the scan tool... Cheers TOMUCH

As usual its me the guinea pig.......anyway getting my Scan Gauge soon........ 8-)

Bro Propower,

There you see my front grill which i modified to be similar to the Tundra !!! 8-)

Jason,

You are my sunshine......my only sunshine......you make me happy...... you are my guinea pig.........LOL!

Let me know when it arrives mate! I want to check it out.....

Mark,

I don't think you can connect the pyrometer thermo coupling or probe to it. It actually connects to the OBD-II connector under the steering.

I believe Toyota uses their diagnostic tool to connect to this OBD-II.

Cheers guys

Mark,

Wait for Jason's aka spyroeast report once he receives his Scangauge II. According to him, it's on the way!

No not on the way yet as reseller havent replied me to give me the full bank details. I will be charging some fee for those who want to test it out as i want to recoup some of the money spent !!! 8-)

I just ordered one from ebay US...
Can't wait!

if u wre to use the live fuel readouts to maximize economy it would pay for itself over less then a year.

by **spyroeast** on Sat, 19 Jan 2008 4:12 +0000

Yeah thats true. It would be good to have those gauges to monitor our fuel consumption and it actually reminds us to lighten our foot on the pedal !!! 8-)
