Mounting scangauge

[Jaw_F430]

Hi all

Having received my scangauge yesterday I would like some tips off people who have already fitted theirs.

I was at Himley Hall on Sunday and seen a few people had fitted their scangauge to the right hand side of the dash which looks like a good place as it is easily viewed.

Just wondering if one of those people could give a quick guide as to the routing of the cable i.e what I need to take off and the best way to route it



Cheers


James

I just installed it under the toggle switches in the center console. The cabling is routed inside the plastic cover below the steering wheel. This is a neat setup...except when you are trying to read boost at WOT

That's where I was going to put it as its an easy option but as you say it is harder to read, specially at WOT

Anyone used a BlendMount to mount a Scangauge to the rear view mirror?

And how difficult is install. What cabel do you need. Each sensor or just one to main computer?

[brainycheddar]

it jsut plugs into the obd2 port, so it's really easy to install, the x-gauge feature allows you to add a realtime HP readout. the only problem is the refresh rate is rather slow so it make accurate readings in first or second gear tough.

I think it is the bast place to read it easily ! and no prob for the cable, you do not see it and can install it in 10mins !

In which mode do you connect the scangauge? Mine doesn't connect.

[brainycheddar]

usually have both the car and the scangauge off when you plug it in. when everything is hooked up, start the car, and it should say "connecting" after a while it goes to the screen that you were on last time the car was on.

I have try all modes but doesn't connect. On my M3 has connected in about 15 seconds in ISO mode.

I really not understand what is wrong. I have trying an hour today but nothing. The car is Cooper S 2002/october.

Does anybody know where could be a problem?
