Plugs right in to the OBDII port under the dash (by your hood latch on the tC), you will be up and running in seconds!

A couple of installed pics. I have not "hidden" the wire, and I may not. I have one of these in each car - and I love them.

Vanilla (my xB) has a ScanGauge II from Zack, and it fits well, works well. Lets you see what your ECU is thinking, and has a lot of good functions. Thing is, if Vanilla ever throws a tantrum (code) I can read it and know what her problem is - and once I fix it, I can reset the code.

Nice unit, excellent price.

Lookin' good box_x! That shelf was made for the ScanGauge! Also I'm jealous looking at those steering wheel radio controls ! I don't know how your cable goes but if you lower the steering colum you can push the wire through and have it go right to the OBDII without being in your way with little hassle and it's still easy enough to pull out..if anybody is ever interested I do have extra cables if you want route your cables behind the dash and still be able to use the gauge in another car...

The cable is run between the steering column and the trim around it. I toyed with the idea of cutting a hole behind where the gauge is and feeding it through there - but I didn't. The flash of the camera makes the exposed cable look worse than it does when I am driving the car .

The cable itself is not that large, but the RJ connector on the end would mean a good sized hole.

Having one for each car (made more possible by the nice price) is the way to go - so you can "train" the MPGs and get it right. Moving from car to car means you lose all that each time. Also, you can correct the speedo using a GPS and then have it "spot on" and use that rather than the known off analog speedo.

Pull the small removeable panel off down at the bottom left of your dash below the wheel...there are also some fuses down there so your manual will show you where the fuses are..

Odd thing noticed: Surprisingly, the OBDII connector on the end of the ScanGauge II cable is actually more rugged and higher quality than most of those I've seen on much more expensive professional OBDII testers. For some reason that impressed me.

How thick is the Scangauge? Does anyone think it's thin enough to mount in the visor?

It's a little more than a 1/2" probably to thick for the visor to look good visually, but they are light so velcro would hold it up there.. tkanaz talk to you Friday ;)
