Why choose ScanGauge III?

Because ScanGauge III is not just an OBD2 fault code reader.

The device is designed to be a continuous monitoring screen for vehicle data , so that you can display up to 9 readings at the same time and choose the information that interests you while driving.

This means that instead of using a device only when the engine light comes on, you can have ScanGauge III installed in the car and use it daily to monitor its data, trips and consumption.

Display up to 9 live readings on a single screen

Monitor the most important vehicle data directly from the ScanGauge III color screen.

It can display up to 9 digital counters at once , with the ability to customize pages and readings according to your needs.

The available readings vary from car to car, and may include data related to the engine, temperature, fuel, speed, and other things, depending on what the car's system supports.

Reading and clearing car fault codes

Has the engine light come on?

ScanGauge III helps you read the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that the vehicle's system records, as well as display the supported pending codes.

It also allows clearing fault codes and turning off the check engine light in cases and vehicles that support it.

This way you can find out the registered code and get a preliminary idea of the problem before going to the inspection or workshop.

Monitor the car's temperature and important data while driving.

One of the most important benefits of ScanGauge III is the ability to continuously monitor readings while using the car.

With X-Gauge™ support , some cars can display additional vehicle-specific readings, such as:

The device can also automatically search for a number of X-Gauge readings compatible with the vehicle.

Alerts to help you notice important readings

You can set customizable visual and audio alerts for some of the data you monitor.

For example, an alert can be set up when a certain reading reaches a limit that you specify, depending on the readings available in the car.

A practical feature, especially for those who are interested in monitoring the car's temperature or some operating data during travel and long periods of use.

Track your fuel consumption and trip data

ScanGauge III is limited to fault detection.

The device has functions for tracking trips and fuel consumption and displays a range of information that helps you understand how to use the car more clearly.

Some of the data that the device can track includes:

• fuel consumption
• fuel used
• Distance traveled
• average speed
• Driving time
• Fuel cost after entering the required data
• Current flight data
• Data related to the fuel tank

This makes it useful for everyday use, travel, and long distances.

4.3-inch color touchscreen

ScanGauge III comes with a 4.3-inch color capacitive touchscreen , designed to display data neatly, clearly and quickly during use.

The screen supports more than 16 million colors with the ability to customize the display appearance to suit your needs.

Wireless updates via Wi-Fi

ScanGauge III supports internal software updates via Wi-Fi .

This means that updating the device has become easier without the need to connect it to a computer every time a compatible update becomes available from the company.

Easy installation without modifications to the car

Installing ScanGauge III is simple and does not require cutting wires or making modifications to the car.

All you have to do is:

1. Connect the cable to the OBD2 port , which is usually located under the dashboard.
2. Install the device in the appropriate location.
3. Starting the car.
4. The device automatically recognizes the OBD2 protocol used in the vehicle.

The device gets its power directly from the OBD2 port, so it does not need separate batteries .

The difference between ScanGauge III and a regular OBD2 reader

The traditional OBD2 reader is often primarily used when a problem or warning light appears.

ScanGauge III combines continuous vehicle data monitoring, fault code reading, trip tracking, and fuel consumption into a single device that can be installed and used while driving.

This makes it a suitable option for someone who not only wants to know the fault code, but also wants to continuously monitor their car and its data.

Frequently Asked Questions about ScanGauge III

Does the device need programming?

For basic use, the device connects to the OBD2 port and automatically recognizes the vehicle's communication protocol. Some additional functions and readings may require setup or customization.

Does ScanGauge III clear the engine light?

The device can read and clear supported fault codes, and clearing the code can turn off the check engine light if the condition and vehicle system allow it.

However, clearing the code does not fix the underlying cause of the malfunction.

Does it expose the transmission to heat?

ScanGauge III supports the X-Gauge™ system , which allows additional readings such as transmission temperature to be displayed in some vehicles, but the availability of a transmission temperature reading depends on the vehicle type and model and the system's support for this data.

Does it expose the oil to heat?

Oil temperature readings may be available for some vehicles via standard readings or X-Gauge, but they are not available on all vehicles.

Is the device suitable for travel and airlines?

Yes, it is useful during long journeys and distances because it allows monitoring of a range of vehicle, trip and consumption data directly while driving.

Does it need batteries?

No. ScanGauge III gets its power directly from the car's OBD2 port.
