Re: Scangauge installation

I love it there. I can close the not an ashtray and hide it
I used the 2 velco strips that came with it and but it on the bottom of the scangage and set the scangage so it it is angled best for the driver ( the drivers side is about 1/4 farther in than the passenger side.

and I have it preconfigured to show in the 4 corners like this
MPG last second .................................. voltage
MPG this trip .................................. MPG today


I used MPG for MPG last second
I used MTT for MPG this trip
I used MTD for MPG this day

at a glance I can see my gas mileage .

Might not be what you want. I set the colors to match the temperature circle.


When drilling the hole - start with the not an ashtray so the the left edge is about 1/2 inch from left side about the height that the plug on the scangage is.
then I used a magic marker to mark the top of the hole in the console and closed the not an ashtray with the marker in place to see the bottom of the hole needed in the console so the cable would move freely when open and closing the not an ashtray.
