The Scangauge, is a very special type of instrument gauge that connects within seconds to your cars OBD2 port, located right below your dashboard.
The OBD2 port is a diagnostic port that is used for dealerships, service stations, and even emissions testing facilities to connect a computer to your car to see how your cars running, problems with your car, etc. Because the OBD2 port communicates lots of different parameters of your engine, you can view tons of information! Furthermore, it will not interfere with the OBD2 ports operation, because it simply plugs in, and is not hardwired, and no wires are cut, chopped or soldered for the gauge to work!
Heres a listing of some of the many different engine parameters that can be viewed with this gauge.

The gauge displays 2 parameters at a time, but can be programmed to cycle through up to 8 parameters during a user determined period of time. This way you can monitor several items without taking any other actions.
High intensity LEDs can be used as shift lights or warning lights to indicate when a selected parameter exceeds an entered threshold. Due to the gauges extremely fast update rate, this light is very accurate and easy to set. Once you try it you'll find you can't live without it!
The gauge has bi-directional controls allowing for manual control of the low and high speed fans.
Last but not least, the Interceptor will measure 0-60 times, as well as 1/8 and 1/4 mile time and speeds. This is accomplished through a simple menu selection.
Installation is accomplished by simply plugging the supplied connector into the OBD2 port below the steering wheel. Literally plug-and-play!
Please note: Aeroforce is no longer shipping these guages with the metal U shaped bracket for mounting. They claim that they found almost all customers are using pods that dont require the metal U shaped bracket, and so they are no longer shipping these gauges with that bracket and nuts. If you are mounting this gauge into a pod, we would recommend using electrical tape around the body of the gauge for additional friction to hold it more tightly into the pod upon insertion.
