Does anyone have a Scangauge2 in their Countryman?

The CM does have an OBD2 port, right? I was just wondering if anyone has the Scangauge2 and monitors their turbo boost, engine oil temp, engine coolant temp, read codes, etc.

I've read on other threads that the CM S engine seems to take some time to warm up on a cold start and another threads where the CEL light comes on due to a high coolant temp code when the drier was driving through a snow storm.

Did a search and didn't come up with any Scangauge info on the CM.

TIA

Here's a link for a scan gauge for R60: http://www.cravenspeed.com/products/...-II-Mount.html

If you have an android phone, I also thought this was cool too: http://www.cravenspeed.com/products/...plete-Kit.html

Yes, it has an OBD2 port.
Ours kept throwing a code which I confirmed was a high temp code on my OBD2 diagnostic tool. It turned out to be a defective thermostat. All good now since the dealer replaced it.

Thanks guys. I 've got one in my diesel where I need to keep an eye on the delta between the EOT and the ECT. Can also monitor the turbo boost, transmission fluid temp and a whole bunch of other info coming off the computer not to mention read codes and clear the CEL. It is well worth the $150 for the little unit. Blendmount makes a nice mount that secures the SG2 right above the rear view mirror.

I was just wondering if anyone already had an SG2 in their CM and if so what they are monitoring and if they've had any problems with the programming of the SG2 while interfacing it with the OB Computer of the CM.

It would probably be the first item I'd install. Data is good.

~Cheers
