Who runs one of these?

Looks pretty cool, and can do all under the three columns on the above URL.





$169 for all that.
I have to admit, I do not even know where my port is for the OBDII connection.
Somewhere in the cockpit I would imagine.

 

Hey Corey, theres a deal goin on with Socal Motorsports where you can get them fro $130. Im thinkin Im gonna jump on one of these.

hey ya rookie, did u see this thread?

https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f180/potential-scangauge-ii-group-buy-103058/

 

YA thats the one I was refferring to. Thats a good deal. Altho I dont know that I really need one I think they are a good buy and can be helpfull when needed at the least. Hey anything for my truck is a good buy HEHE.

 

I actually approved that thread before it was posted.
I typed in "scan" into our wonderful search engine, and it did not turn up.

I miss the old days when search worked great.

I may have to get in on the group buy.

 

whats up with the search?

 

Search on Search, and you will see.

The Search function does not work like it did in the old days.
It does not turn up stuff as easily as it use to.
You have to combine words and phrases together sometimes to get the correct hit.

It has never been the same since we had to rebuild the site several months back.

 

I have only one thing to say about how the search has been working


As far as the SGII.. .download the manual from their site... its a pretty cool toy, and for 130 you cant beat it right now...

 

It almost seems like a replacement of those 3000-5000 dollar tools that mechanic shops have to buy

 

Has anybody looked at a way to nicely mount the unit without resorting to the velcro tabs supplied with it?

 

I've started digging into the manual and found that you can mix and match your own backlight color. I have managed to concoct a blend that is close to the color in the 4Runner. I have also calibrated the speed using my GPS as a reference on a long stretch of flat highway. Next will be calibrating the gas tank readouts that the MPG is based upon.

 

Very cool! Might have to pick one up.

 

Ah man bummer you just missed the group buy

 

I was thinking about getting it .Till i seen it only works on 96 an up. I wonder if there is any way to hook up to older than 96 .Like my 89 4runner

 

Don't know if you found the answer for this one already, but on the 3G, the OBD port is under the steering wheel, around where your right knee would be, IIRC. It's not too hard to find, and the thing is shaped and pinned so things can only plug in one way.

In the owner's manual for my code reader, it stated something to the effect that (this is not verbatim) that the OBDII port on so-equipped cars must be located in a visible location, not more than ?feet from the steering wheel. Following that, with plug in hand on the code reader, I just looked under the dash until I saw a plug of similar size and shape and gave it a try.

Hope this helps,

HIGHLY doubtful unless you're looking to write code for a PIC or STAMP processor that will collect the data from various sensors on the truck, and spit the data into one of the OBD II protocols.

If you were able to handle that, then you'd be skipping the part were you could plug this in and just display the data on your own.

One thing that would be possible (in theory) is to graft a later-model ECU into your current system. I 'magine that sorting out timing and A/FR signals would be interesting...

 

4th gen's connector is right near/below the fuse block, left of the steering wheel

 

Aren't any of the 1GR 4.0 V-6 [4th gens / 05/06 Tacomas / FJ Cruisers] OBD-CAN, not OBD-II?

 

You can find a fairly comprehensive list of CAN-equipped list of vehicles here:

Interesting that the 05 4R is listed, but the 064R is not.

 

I have the Blend Mount and it doesnt fit over the mirror si I am trying to modify it to fit under the mirror here is a temporary look until I get more time to do it right
