ScanGauge II in a YRV Turbo 130

Forum: 

I've just fitted one of these from E-bay, and it's a cool gadget.

I'm particularly interested in the MPG; Air Inlet Temperature; Voltage and Manifold Air Pressure which should work like a boost gauge.

Handily it fits easily into the little tray below the stereo, although I've swapped the tray and stereo over to make the Scangauge easier to read.

Anyone else got one?

Hi There, Don't have one of

Hi There,

Don't have one of these for mine, but sounds interesting. How easy was it to fit? Currently have some stepper gauges ready to fit to mine; Boost, Oil Temp & Preassure. Just need to get senders/preasure plate adapter etc...

Any links to where you bought it from?

Yeah ended up buying 2 of

Yeah ended up buying 2 of these. 1 x for the YRV the other for the Scooby. At the moment MPG varies in the YRV. Noticed I get better MPG if I use the steer-shift mode, that way I can control the speed better than the auto-mode. Can get anything between 30 - 40 MPG on a straight run or even 116MPG when the foot is off the accelerator Wink , this can go down to around 4 -14MPG wehn I boot it in the lower gears Biggrin

In the scooby I get around 20-24MPG Sad 2MPG when I boot it Biggrin

It's pretty much 'plug and play', it connects to the OBD socket at the rear of the central console, under the dash.

You have to set up some data, such as the size of your fuel tank for the trip computer section so you can get 'miles till empty' etc

It has altered my driving style slightly, I'm averaging 45 mpg now! Biggrin

Whereabouts is the OBD

Whereabouts is the OBD socket? Had a quick look inside the car and noticed something that might be it, which is positioned on the drivers side middle. Any piccies?
