ScanGaugeII - Trip Computers + Digital Gauges + Scan Tool

The Ultra Compact
3-in-one Automotive Computer

Trip Computer - Digital Gauges - Scan Tool
The integrated Trip Computer provides realtime feedback while simultaneously tracking three sets of trip data. The Digital Gauges give you realtime data for your vehicle and the built-in Scan Tool allows you to read trouble codes and diagnose potentially expensive problems before they get out of hand. All this in a small and simple to install unit that can be easily moved from vehicle to vehicle.
also has X-guage which means you can add your own guages based on things your OBDII computer puts out, in addition to the 12 they have... can display 4 of the guages at one time.



plus it lets you pull and clear codes.

Great for the price ($150 on the group buy)

can calculate all kinds of things including HP, MPG etc.

Production has been put on hold, as with long term testing the Nissan ECU is so smart that it "learns" the modified signals. sure it still works, but once it's on there is no turning it off without leaving the ECU disconnected long enough so it "forgets" that's not acceptable to me, not on a car that does part time track duty. and I refuse to sell a non-defeatable system.

I have not been able to find that answer, currently the system sends a custom signal TO the pedal position sensor. what I need to do is modify the signal coming FROM the pedal position sensor. so at idle and part throttle it does not intercept the signal... It's just one of the 30 projects I'm working on... man, I love my A.D.D!
