OBD port

It will either be pounds/minute or kilograms, I guess -- or derivatives thereof

Why is everyone so ****in uptight around here?

it goes with the territory- we gotta be uptight, snooty wankers in order to be able to release the handbrake on our little euro cappucino cars...



ps i didnt type that in reference to any of the folks who had already posted in this thread, i was simply speaking generally.

imma watch the arrows fly.

Hi,

Can anyone advise if the speed listed on the scangauge is the accurate speed you are travelling or is it the same speed listed on the speedometer when travelling (which is out 5-10%)?

I think the Polo must be one of the few cars in the world in which the conventional auto transmission actually has more gears than the manual (certain Nissans with CVT transmissions don't count...)

"Locked" shows up on the screen whenever a MiG or SU-27 behind you has missle lock on you so you can take evasive action or release chaffs (lit ciggy or something...)

lmao everyones gotta be a smart a$$,...................smiles i had a giggle but.

i think it all boils down to this:

however agreeable we find each other, and however well we may get along with one another both on and off the forums, and however willing we are to help each other out as a result of some sort of communal sentiment, on the whole, as a group, from the outside looking in, we're probably a real bunch of pricks.

The Scangauge is adjustable as a percentage (%) of the speed shown on the car dial. It adjusts either positive or negative. I used a GPS unit, while on cruise control at around 110kms/h, to adjust the Scangauge.

If you simply just plug it in, the speed on the Scangauge will be the same as that on the car dial until you adjust it.

^should have a cover on the plug "OBDII"

and yes like what "celestine" said, scangauge II is awesome, had them when i used to drive the Toyota Echo, so accurate as well, and also tells you how many horsepower/kilowatt your car is producing in real time

best of all, you can use it up to 10 different cars and all the settings will get stored into the scangauge memory.

you used to use it with a toyota echo?,........can i ask why?
