~$30 MPG gauge/OBDII Diagnostics - Toyota Yaris Forums

What kind of dongle did you order, ebay or a nicer one? Im interested to to see how quickly it updates in real time and if it will show the cars voltage.

I wont buy one from hong kong etc which is where all the $30 are from so if Im spending 50 bucks I need to know its up to par.

EDIT* It seems voltage is not something commonly supported through OBD2, what a shame. that kills it for me.

My Scangauge II shows voltage. It is one of the settings I monitor.

Nice thing about Scan Gauge is it shows average MPG as well as real time MPG..Trying to read Real time MPG gets old fast as the readings are all over the place and really doesnt give you much in the way of worthwhile information.
