for those who have one i have a couple of questions.

how many wires is there

how is it wired in and where to

as it shows water temp do you have to cut in to pipes.

how does it read mpg, rpm and mph. does something wire in behind the clocks

I'd like a scanguage in my car but I've yet to see a way to fit it that looks right. Anyone got any nice pictures?

I dont have a pic, but becuase i live in a city i dont want to leave it installed all the time.

So i have turned a cheap mp3 player holder on its side and just rest it on that when driving. when i stop it gets put in the random sh**e tray under the ashtray.

I did not like trying to fit it anywhere else as i thought it either blocked things or could not be removed easily.

I have a scangauge and swear by it! excellent bit of kit and really really helpful!! One cable to your OBD port. it works it out my measuring the fuel flow and speed and rpm....simple maths :) sort of!
Here's a picture of where i fitted mine, i personally think it looks okay :)

so it doesnt need any wiring mods. is it simply plug and play and thats it. does it measure water temp and oil temp ect.
