UltraGauge?

[m42b32]

So I recently found out about the UltraGauge, it basically plugs into your OBD2 port and displays all sorts of information from there like actual engine coolant temps, intake air temps, AFR, etc. It can also read and clear CEL codes and you can set alarms for all the gauges if the numbers fall outside a certain range (engine temps anyone?).

Best part is its only like $80 which is a steal compared to the alternatives. Anyone have any experience with one of these? They seem pretty useful

Seems like a good solution. I have a Bluetooth obd2 adapter that works with apps on my phone. A permanent device would be much more convenient. It will have a bit of a delay to respond because of the communication protocol but I was seeing around 300ms response time with Bluetooth one. I think mine is an obdlink mx which is a higher end one.

I thought about the bluetooth/phone app but I think a dedicated solution would be worth it instead of always attaching and detaching my phone. The wireless would be nice though so you don't have to run a cord anywhere...

I would go with a dedicated unit. Not easy or smart to use the phone app while driving trying to troubleshoot. I mostly use mine for troubleshooting, it's too much of a pain to use it every time I drive the car.

I have a Bluetooth adapter and Torque app on an old phone mounted to the dash so that I don't have to take it out. I hardwired a charger and routed the wire to come out of the corner of the dash to power it. Total cost including the mount, charger, adapter, and app was $30.

I have an old iPhone 4s and Galaxy s3 if anyone needs an old phone. Great idea.
