UltraGauge for $60??
Just saw this on HD Theater channel last night. And after I just spent $40 on an ecometer! Dangit!
Oh well, my flub-up is your gain. I thought I would post about it if anyone knows anything about this or has had or getting one they could discuss. Linky-poo

Is this the death of the scangauge?
I like the display better than the scangauge! If the RPM's refresh faster than scangauge, then it would be pretty sweet.

That looks like a really nice product for a great price. Something like this really demonstrates how manufacturing a product in China might not help the US economy, but it sure is a win for the US consumer.

This would have already been on the way to me if I had not just purchased an ecometer. Love the trouble codes features and the reset of the check engine light.

Did some research on it, and now I want it.
It's $68.95 before the $9.00 rebate.

I believe the ScanGauge still has more compatiblity than both the UltraGauge and EcoMeter. On ScanGauge's website they list most post-1995 cars for compatiblity while the EcoMeter and UltraGauge rely on something called CAN that most 2008+ cars support.

CAN Bus became a requirement for OBDII in 2008, although many manufacturers (like Toyota) had switched from ISO-9141 to CAN (ISO-15765) a couple years earlier. Most pre-CAN bus vehicles don't support the PIDs (Parameter ID's) necessary to calculate MPGs. For example, If I plug my scangauge II into my 2004 Xterra it can't display MPG.
