Anyone buy an Ultragauge in Canada? How much was the final cost?

I find the cheap bluetooth OBDII transmitters on Amazon for $13-20... but no mention of compatible iphone application.

None. The iPhone ones are $100+ because apple uses something different when it comes to bluetooth.

It's because Apple doesn't expose the Bluetooth stack to apps. Otherwise we'd undoubtedly have a Torque-like app for iPod/iPhone.

There is DashCommand and Rev, which I believe are $40 and $50 and require a Wi-fi OBDII adapter. The adapter is probably close to $100.

I'm also interested in knowing anyone else has bought it from Canada. Definitely strongly considering it right now. The SGII is just too much.

I knew it was something like that.

I tried the go pro OBD2 to iPod adaptor. It was decent, but didn't do any logging as the provider that had the web based data logging service went under :thumb down:

Thankfully I returned the adaptor to walmart ASAP and wasn't out anything.

I just ordered one (UltraGauge EM) two days ago. They were out of the windshield mounts so I got the one without.

Sub-Total: $69.95
FedEx (1 x 0.60lbs) (International Priority): $21.19
Total: $91.14

Which worked out to $93.03 CAD via paypal on my credit card.

I just checked the tracking number and it looks like it got picked up yesterday evening, and the expected delivery date is Monday.

I can't wait :)

Does the Fedex International Priority service include brokerage or will you have a hefty brokerage fee on top of that?

Hadn't thought of that. Shipping to my postal code came up just over $25, I'd hope there are no additional fees. If it keeps getting much more I'd be getting close to just buying a SGII locally.
