Looks like it could be pretty useful but I would wait and see where the OBD II connector is located on the Fiesta and see if hooking something up to it would put a cable in the way of operating the car safely and comfortably. As a technician I can tell you that some connector locations are set in a location that makes them very easy to get too but would be in a very bad location to have something hooked up to them all the time and not have to either unplug it to get your legs in and out or be a contortionist to not hit it and unplug it accidently.
I can imagine that there are people out there that could screw up routing a wire but luckily, that wouldn't be me.
I'd guess that anyone geeky enough to buy a Scangage won't have any trouble finding a way to route a wire so that it doesn't present a hazard...I can imagine that there are people out there that could screw up routing a wire but luckily, that wouldn't be me.
I too was very sure I was going to buy one, I was just waiting for a special or promotion before pulling the trigger. But then I saw a much better option in a buddies vehicle. Its called Ultragauge and it does everything that SG seems to do, yet ultragauge has a much larger display and displays more gauges at once. It has all sorts of features, but perhaps its biggest feature is its price. Its only $39 and they toss in a free windshield mount. Although that may be part of a limited promotion. check it out at ultra-gauge.com (google it if this is not right). At that price there is no buyer hesitation. I have been using mine now for a while and it is just great.
I had the same view until I used it for a while. In my case the unforeseen benefit is that you can look at several gauges at once. Whereas most factory displays offer one gauge at a time.
It does look like a limited promotion (regular price $200).
I'll wait awhile before checking out there site. Norton Security hasn't given it a pass. I'm always extremely leery of things that are priced too low relative to the norm. And, promotional offers make me even more uncomfortable. Thanks for the info though. Would you be willing to post a picture of it in your Fiesta?I too was very sure I was going to buy one, I was just waiting for a special or promotion before pulling the trigger.

I hope you have not yet pulled the trigger!
Yes. I hope they haven't raised the price? Yikes! The above other gauge looks all most prohibitive because of cost. Multi gauges start at $209!? The UltraGauge can show a high of 18 gauge readings. Unfortunately oil pressure is not one it will show for a Fiesta. It also has a device that has a suction cup and a bendable arm that can put the display far to the left of the wind shield direct look out of the quick view of thieves. It doesn't look like a GPS device to me.
I think its fine, and its hooked up with Paypal so there is protection...so, i pulled the trigger as well......
