Default Autool Guage is awesome!

I ran into a cool little tool I wanted to share. I just got done doing a head gasket job and wanted to install a gauge that would let me monitor my coolant temp. I ended up getting the Autool x60 from Amazon. It plugs into the OBD2 connector and gives me complete access to everything the ECM monitors. Right now I have it set to have Water Temp as the main, Intake Temp and MAF as secondary. It also shows RPM and I have it set to warn me if I go over 2K. This warning helps me take off easier from the line which has made a difference in my gas mileage. It will also read the error codes and allow me to clear them. It was super easy to install and it only cost $36. Just thought I would share this because it is very useful and figured someone would be interested.

No. It is wired. I snaked the wire up the IP so it is hidden.

I like it because I can configure and personalize up to 10 different gauges to monitor my Disco via Bluetooth to a smart phone or tablet.
