ScanGauge / OBD2 Port Readers - silverzx - 24-04-2014
Looking to get one for my Punto, anything in particular to look for?
Was going to go for a scangauge 2.

Big fan of scan gauge 2, completely changed the way I drive, well when trying to save fuel anyway :-P

Got a spare android device with bluetooth? Get a bluetooth OBD2 adapter, substantially cheaper! Can test mine to see if it works if you want?

Only have a tablet which is quite big, want something static ideally.

Could use a phone? It's only like £8 for an adapter or £80 odd for a scangauge (unless i'm imagining them being that expensive?) so you could probably buy a cheap android device as well and still be cheaper total

Bought it, I'll just get a Nexus 7 mount now and have a massive screen staring at me lol!
Cheers fella's.
RE: ScanGauge / OBD2 Port Readers - Midnightclub - 24-04-2014
No worries dude, yeah that one you linked is perfect! Nexus 7 is awesome for this actually, like having a 7" digital dash!

That'll do grand

Before you buy that bud have a look at the tetrax magnetic phone holders, just got one for my pug and it's an excellent bit of kit for not a lot of money. No need to strap the phone in just hold it till the magnet takes hold
