I use an app called "torque" from the android market and I get all of the same info provided from this device I believe. You do have to buy a bluetooth adapter obdII. But I got that on ebay for less than $20 with shipping and all. I like not having any wires to hide, oh, and it couples as a scan tool also, it can clear the check engine light like the other tools. It gives you the fuel levels, o2 sensor info, fuel trim info, all around, its really neat for really cheap, I paid $5 or $6 for the app itself. Just wanted to share, happy new year to all
Really? These work?

for what? you sent back your gauge and bought an ultragauge? so far the only two measurements i can appreciate are engine temp and oil pressure. ultragauge doesnt supply oil pressure data so i am getting the glowshift sandwich and oil gauge. i have the temp gauge from them already so ill probably put the ug in the D2 and round off decimals.

i have two discos, an ultragauge and a glowshift dial gauge.
if i did it again i'd go android over ultragauge. i figure they all just display what the truck gives them. some estimate and interpolate new gauges but ie. gas but i dont think i need that info anyway.
im figuring you could pretty much run a telephone-music-instrumentation-GPS display all from your android. i'd like to do this with a 5 inch display android but i dont want to be carrying it around. the problem there really is switching the SIM card back and forth as I don't stay in the truck very long as 90% of my trips are 5 - 15 minutes.
