    I love the heads-up part. I've used a ScanGauge for years, but would much rather have something with HUD.

    Scan gauge has more features. And water temp.
    With only one obd port I want the most out of it.

    You can add a port splitter/adapter, if I'm not mistaken.

    I agree: SG is much more useful -- it also offers much more fuel economy info. If they made a heads-up version, I'd be all over it.

    Yes, a heads-up Scan Gauge would be pretty cool to have.

    Got my HUD today.

    Connected it up for a quick test and was really disappointed. All numbers were off except for voltage & water temperature. I decided to check out the booklet that came with it. Not much good info in there but it let me get into the set-up pages. Turns out you can change the reported values by changing the off-sets. I am in the process of fine tuning it now and will use a GPS to help out for speed. The only thing that still doesn't work is the fuel use (red LED in top corner). It stays on zero (00.0L/100KM - no fuel use) and flickers once in a while very fast. I figured I'd put tape over it but it turns out it can be turned off on one of the set-up pages so that's what I did. It is not very visible in bright daylight but it does have a window reflector film I can put over it to fix that.
