MPH was accurate, after several fill-ups the tank to empty was accurate, the MPG is within at least 1MPG. RPMs are dead on. The xguage of HP seems a little off, but it works "voodoo" as Blimey calls it, to make that calculation.

As long as elevation is taken into account when programming it to read boost, it is fairy accurate.
Do you own one?
Recommend?

i have one. programmed it to the correct elevation, and yes its fairly accurate. everything on it is really good, i love how it reads the temps, but like stated above, the HP xguage isnt all that great. But yes, id recommend it, i find it to be the best thing in our cars.

Yeah, seems like price vs function its a great deal.
Thanks for the info.

We were the first MINI vendor to sell the scangaugeII. We started using it a few years ago and liked it so much I started carrying it. I think it is very accurate, as long as you set it up correctly with the correct engine size, fuel tank size and you can even correct for wheel and tire size. Personally the thing I use it most for is monitoring coolant temp. You can't go wrong with one, especially with the amount of info you get for the price.

Kind of funny, the reason I actually looked into them recently and noticed that they do a whole lot of different things is because I clicked on the link in your signature and saw it haha.

I'll bring some to AMVIV and give FREE install on them.
ah!
I want to go to AMVIV but hate putting miles on the MINI.
=/
I guess I should just bite the bullet and go.

Speaking of OBDII port,
Is that the port right under the steering wheel?

Where is the Scangauge typically mounted on a MCS w/Nav, and how are the wires (cleanly) routed to connect it?

I've seen pictures of them mounted under the toggle switches on R50/R53 MINIs. I think that's a great place for them. I believe there is also a mount available that places them beside the tachometer.

Yeah,
Thats where I want to put mine, but i already have boost gauge and a GPS there.. haha.
I think I can fit it right above one or the other.
I hope so.

I have posted just like above and find it very practical for keeping an eye on things. Besides it provides entertainment when you're stuck in traffic crawling and observe all the temps rise. Got mine from Way, it's been very accurate from what I can tell and easy to program. Only question I may have is how accurate the boost is.
