Anyone used the MaxiTrip (Scangauge II copy)?
Pardon me if this is a repost, but I have searched exhaustively and could find no reference to this product.
I was searching for OBDII scanners and I happened across this MaxiTrip Scangauge II clone from Autel. It appears to be a Chinese knockoff of the SG.
Linky to Autel's site
I was curious if anyone has used this device and if it delivers on it's claims.
Als, I cannot tell if either the MT or the SG will read EGTs.
I am trying to trouble shoot P1130 and P1071/2 codes and would like a dash mounted MPG display as well.
Also, I know there is a lengthy thread for Scangauge users, but I cannot find it for some reason with the search tool. If someone could point me there that wold be great.

I have a ScanGauge in my 4Runner. It is buggy at times.
By the looks of it I would by the MaxiTrip. It comes with a cable to update your unit. The ScanGauge has to be sent in at a cost of $25 for and update. And gauge support for a 4Runner is basic. I don't know what guages are available from MaxiGauge, but you should read up on it.
To me, the update cable is reason enough to buy the Maxiguage.

Sorry, I really only needed a code reader for my a/f sensor problem, but I figured I may as well get a full blown monitor for only a few bucks more.
Then I found a MaxiScan MS300 handheld reader for a paltry $23. I grabbed it.
I may still pick one up if my gas mileage doesn't come back to normal. That's all I really wanted one for, real time MPG monitoring.
