Looking up cheap code readers tonight and I found this one for cheap and some one on another forum says it does the job fine

$17 shipped

However another member posted this. Looks badass. Any of you see anything reason why I shouldn't just get it? Looks neat

Man thats awefully cheap, makes me leary about their quality as it seems you are too. I have a couple similar products that were a lot more expensive. Basic plug in scanners are pretty cheap anymore so the first one being some off brand like that doesn't surprise me, but if I can get a basic Mac scanner like that for $60 why wouldn't you just spend a few bucks more so you can take it somewhere and bitch if it stops working? The other thing seems a little too good to be true for $60, the Aeroforce Scangauge in my Camaro was over $250 new.

I do. Works really well. Itll read codes and certainly has a wealth of info. I think there is very little a Scangauge can do that this cannot... for example I think there is a way to get a Scangauge to read the trans temp on an FJ (requires something extra maybe (i forget), but the Ultragauge cannot.

 

I got mine in a group buy for like 46 bucks...

put little bumpers so that I could just push the corners of the screen and it pushes the buttons on the back

I mainly use it to monitor the usual engine temp, ect...you can see intake temp and whatnot too. It really shines when it comes to monitoring MPG and fuel consumption.

 

I have also seen that if anyone got one that was faulty or anything Ultragauge seemed very quick to send out a replacement. I'd recommend it!
