ultra gauge... cheaper then scangauge
http://ultra-gauge.com
does anyone know anything about this item? i just saw it advertised, and it shows 6 gauges instead of the 4 scangauge does, it also reads, and clears check engine codes, it says regularly $200, but on sale for $39.95 after $9 mail in rebate... is this too good to be true??

Re: ultra gauge... cheaper then scangauge
me too, but it does the same thing, but it shows more info, i just wonder if it keeps the same info that the SG's do where you can check the MPG on the tank, or MPG's on the previous day

Re: ultra gauge... cheaper then scangauge
It's certainly easier to read and not that much bigger. I have an Actron scanner myself but it's a little clunky to mount to the dash for full time diagnostic stuff.
They probably have it on sale to try and get their foot in the door since Actron and Scangauge have a corner on the market.

Re: ultra gauge... cheaper then scangauge
lol Rob my hero
instead of 170$+shipping for scangauge, i'm now considering this one.
do you know if i'd have to pay customs charges to ship it here with usps priority?
there's one thing that troubles me: how retarded is that company that you'd have to send them back a mail in rebate if they are the ones that manufacture and sell the item to you by mail in the first place?

Re: ultra gauge... cheaper then scangauge
They are hoping you won't bother or it gets lost in the mail.

Re: ultra gauge... cheaper then scangauge
I got screwed by mail-ins twice, i don't trust them anymore.
Even at 50$, it's still 120$ cheaper than a scangauge!

Re: ultra gauge... cheaper then scangauge
Rob, there might be a problem.
Unless you plan to buy a 2.4l engine
