Do quite a few things... MPG, various Temp readouts, Fault codes, Speed, Trip thingy, and loads of other stuff. Have a look at the website and see all the stuff.
They plug into the OBCD-thingy port just behind the centre console.

Picked it up last week and it's temporarily in the car ATM. Looks nice, does what it's supposed to do but i just have to get the fuel / MPG set up and we'll see how well it really works.
All in $'s though, and i therefore assume US Gallons so i'm using the 'Litres' setting.

Just a few quick things that i've found out from it while i'm here...
Charging - 13.? - 14.?V
MPH reading - About the same as the speedo (1-2MPH out)
Water temp - 98-99oC
MPG - Showing as 30-something average over 27 miles (but not set up correctly yet)
...and quite importantly - no fault codes showing.
