ScanGaugeII

This is a scan-tool that provides live data via the standard ODB-II connector found in virtually

every car now in use. That port which you connect it to is the same one the mechanics use to

attach their very expensive diagnostic equipment. When Prius was new, there were no affordable

offerings for a device of this sort. Things have changed. Owners wanting information beyond

what the Multi-Display provides have a very realistic option now. It’s an empowerment device

you’ll grow to really enjoy.

The following photo is an example of where the scan-tool could be mounted (using the included

adhesive Velcro strips) in a Prius. That wire used to connect it is exposed only at the point shown;

the remaining neatly tucks behind the water-seal of the door and underneath the steering-wheel up

to the data-port. The setup is simple plug & play that takes only a few minutes without any tools.

RPM, MPG, MPH, and Coolant-Temperature are the data that Prius owners are typically drawn

to. There are 8 other gauge options to choose from. There are also 11 values which can be setup

for automatic tracking for 4 sets of trip data.

“Check Engine” codes can also be both read and cleared. That’s very informative, allowing you to

easily distinguish the difference between a simple error (like not tightening the fuel-cap enough) to

a genuine part failure.

The color of the backlighting for the display itself can be changed too, by just selecting a different

one from the extensive menu of options.
