Anyone have a ScanGauge on their FC?

My buddy got one for his truck and he was telling me about, it seemed pretty interesting. I was wondering if anyone had one on their FC, and how they liked it?

No OBD port on FC's, which is what things like this use.

How so?

I have a ScanGuage 2 in my DD and it's a neat thing to have. Tells me instant MPG, more accurate temperatures and vaules than analog gauges show. etc etc.

I like it

OBDII can go either way on a sports car, it can prevent you from modifying it for emissions or it can alleviate some of that by allowing you to modify without any hassle. would be nice having a plug in flash tuning device but there wouldn't be much support for it with rotaries like there is with many other cars.

Exactly. I love the fact there's open code for my Triumph to reflash it at will for free. Sports cars and bikes, that's one of the determining factors if I'm looking at a newer vehicle- is there freeware to reflash the ECU?
