I have one fitted to my D3 - it works well. It's nice to know coolant temp etc rather than just wait for a red light to appear on the dash.

I have one and I am quite happy with it. It sits on top of the steering column.

It shows how hot the TDV6 actually runs - mine sits on a steady 97 degrees - never goes up or down.

Had one on my old Jeep, did the job but a bit of a gimmick to be honest

You can do (I think) everything a Scanguage can do, .
with an app on your iphone and a wifi adaptorfrom OBD2 port..,

Check out Revs 2 app

I have one which I got from Wooders Garage as per your link, the unit arrived the next day in a priority mail envelope.

My coolant temp only seems to vary about 3 degrees once warmed up. Generally sits at around 93 Degrees.

What I want is to find the X-code to programe in the Auto transmission fluid temp as I do tow a three ton van, I have tried all the codes mentioned in the book, which fail to work.

The other readings I have are :- Voltage and for economy Horsepower and MAP.

Still haven't got around to a permanent install, it currently sits on top of the steering column.

When I am towing I use an EcoRoute HD with my Garmin GPS.

Below is a link to a couple of files I have posted on Disco3 re my ScanGauge installation. The ScanGauge seems not to harm my LR3, (the real concern), when left plugged into the OBD port; the display works in cold weather as well as hot, and is generally no fuss.

It will clear minor faults related to the emission system and MIL light - at least it extinguished the MIL light on one occasion for me which was due to some sort of false code as best I could determine. It is no Faultmate however; mainly just a number display for gauges LR chose not to install.

I am not certain that the X gauge feature of the ScanGauge can display the transmission temperature however there is a transmission oil temperature sensor, (TFT resistor), in the Mechatronic unit. In spite of that, I have not yet been able to source the transmission temp, and yes, that would be a valuable readout.

Also attached is an interesting 21 page pdf re the Mechatronic unit within our transmission with some data related to the oil temperature sensor. On page 19/21 there is a really good drawing of a general layout of how these new transmissions talk, (interface), to a vehicle. It is a miracle that it all works most of the time such that we can actually go somewhere.

I have had one for years now on my Disco 3 2005 TDV6 and it has worked faultlessly. Accurate display and shows 4 of 11 functions at alltimes plus trip information and fuel tank info(lts to go, lts used, LPK, time travelled etc). Great for the price as mine is the S model with no trip computer.
Can't speak high enough about the unit.
