Scangauge2 or ultra gauge?

I mounted mine on a a RAM mount I got from Amazon, put it on the access handle since I don't have side airbag there's no danger on killing me if the driver's air bag deploys. I ran the OBD cable behind the dash board and trim. Is it worth it?, if you need it obviously it is, and I did need it because I did a full tranny fluid change (not a power flush) and wanted to keep my eye on the tranny's temp after the change. I also use the mount for my phone when not using the scangauge, that's why you'll see two different cables there

 

I ended up using an old Samsung Note 4 phone with the torque app. Big enough to see the dials and small enough that I don’t have a tablet taking up massive real estate. I only use it for road trips and when I’m pulling a TT though. Just got a magnetic car vent mount for it.

 

I’ve had both....I like SG2 better. I have it installed with the Blendmount on rear view mirror.

 

I've had my Scanguage for years long before there were "apps".
I have it in my 2006 Tundra and set it up for trans temp. I have no idea where I found the info to set it up.

 

Which torque app is that? I see several in the Play store... Also, what BT OBD unit are you using?

Thanks!

Torque Pro (OBD 2 & Car) app is $2.00 or $5.00 I believe. Only available on the Android. - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.torque&hl=en_US

 

Thanks CodyP....

 

you bet

 

I recently used my UltraGauge while towing.

What transmission temps do you see? Mine were between 170 degrees and 230 degrees while towing on long inclines in 90+ degree weather.

What torque values do you see? I'm getting 270 lb-ft at 5000 feet elevation and 230 lb-ft at 10,000 feet elevation.

Are you able to get separate trans pan and trans temps on a 1st gen?

 

yes, one is the torque converter temp and one is the trans pan...
Those are for Torque Pro app but hopefully you can use them or someone can chime in for the UG solution

 

Thanks for confirming. I was able to configure UltraGauge to show what seem to be the Trans Pan and and Trans Torque Converter temps.
