i noticed that there isnt a coolant temp gauge in the usdm fit........anyone install some aftermarket gauges? that shouldnt void the warranty

There's a tutorial there for a temp gauge and for other gauges too.

 

the coolant light is on when its cold...it would have been nice to have a temp gauge

 

yea cuz we get use to that with most of the cars

 

it always comes in handy just to know how cool the cars runs

 

yea but I will still have to get use to it

 

And this from mine.

 

I got a ScanGaugeII.

The light turns off at 127 degrees F. The maximum temperature that I have seen is 183 degrees, and it normally runs around 177.

The ScanGauge is worth every penny of the $169 (including shipping!)

You can monitor:
- water temp
- intake air temp
- rpm
- mpg
- mph
- miles traveled on tank, day, previous day, and current trip.
- fuel used as above
- engine load
- throttle position
- and some other stuff that I can't think of right now.

 

Do you know if it saws on metric version. I mean kilometers instate miles and Celsius instate Fahrenheit ?
Can you bring any photo?

 

It does metric, degrees C, kilometers, whatever you want...

www.scangauge.com has pics and manual!

 

I saw the site that you told me but I did not saw the metric version that you told me. Have you seen those?

 

In the manual, http://www.scangauge.com/support/pdfs/SGIIManual.pdf it tells you how (display page 16 of 28) to do it. You can choose:
- degrees F or C
- miles or kilometers
- gallons or liters
- PSI or KPA

 

o.k. thank you very much.
Where exactly did you put it on the car?

 

Here it is set to metric and mounted to the top of the steering wheel.



Top Left - Voltage,
Top Right - Kilometers Per Hour
Lower Left - Celcius Intake Air Temp,
Lower Right - Celcius Water Temp



It just plugs into the OBDII Port that is right above the gas pedal.

 

 

I think I saw you mention where you mounted it before in another post and had to laugh, thinking the same thing. Seemed like the only place to put it to me. Not a lot of options in the FIT for placing something like that.

 

I really like it there, even though as previously mentioned, it can be blocked by the steering wheel at times. However, I just justify it by telling myself that if I have the wheel turned that much, I should be paying attention to where I'm driving!!

Oh, and I have my on US values. My gauges of choice are:
RPM WT
MPG IAT

I am usually driving around in CURRENT with MPG on the display.

This is the coolest toy that I've ever had!!

Now --- if I can find out what kind of info that I can send to the ECU to get additional info back from it, it would be much cooler!!

Anyone know where I can get a list of such things to throw at the ECU??

Thanks!!

 

Jus bought one cant wait to get it!

I like it there as well. Makes it easy to read and to keep an eye on. I have mine set to.

MPG, MPH
FIA, FWT
With the backlight set to yellow.

I'm going to change the MPG to someting else since it's now calibrated with the speedometer. I haven't calibrated the fuel yet since that takes several fill ups. Have you calibrated yours yet ?

And I don't know any codes to send the ECU. I don't think I would understand its reply anyway.

You'll like it, just remember that it needs to be calibrated to your vehicle for the MPG, DTE, and stuff to be accurate. It's no big deal and it's easy to do. While you're waiting for it to arrive you may want to get the manual in PDF from their web site http://www.scangauge.com and read up on how to both use and calibrate it so you'll be ready to play with it when it arrives.

 

Yeah, I'm calibrated, I think. At least it was on last tank.

I downloaded the manual prior to getting mine, too. That way I was READY when it arrived!!
