ScanGauge II & Transmission Temp?

Thanks guys.
Have sent a message to the eBay seller, asking them if it suits my model / engine etc.

Cheers, Craig

I took the ScanGauge off my old car and plugged it in. But my foot keeps hitting the OBDII plug every time I come off one pedal and onto the other. It may be just that I have clown feet. It sits out from the trim about an inch. Do these other OBDII plugs for other gauges sit out the same distance?

Yep - you must have clown feet :o.

Even with work boots on, I never had issues hitting the OBDII plug.

Heard back from the OBD Reader ebay seller re: if that particular model suits my D4.
Apparently, this model will fit all vehicles that have a 'OBD-II' compliant sticker under the bonnet.............or have the port under the dash / steering column, to plug into.

Have ordered me one.

It should. All it is doing is transmitting the data that comes out of the port to a wireless reader.
I have tested mine on various cars and all works.

I had the same issue with the OBDkey clipping my foot so I bought a right angle extension off eBay and tucked the OBDkey up under the dash

Caution musty old thread ...

I just picked up a scan gauge 2 with the most current firmware revision. Has anyone cracked getting the trans temp to display ? I take it that I would need to (attempt to) program an x-guage to do it and was wondering if anyone had done that successfully ?

Thanks in advance !

You might just send an email to Scangauge. There are real people there that not only read and respond to the emails but also design the gauge as well.

I asked a couple of years back and the response was that getting tranny temperature for the D3 was not easy but that they had not given up trying.

I gather that retrieving tranny temperature would be one of those special programmed in parameters that the Scangauge II is in theory, capable of.

Thanks bbyer, good idea, I'll do that ! I've tried a range of the ford cansf codes in the x-gauge mode but no success with those.

Happy with it otherwise - got it with a windscreen mount and it sits nicely under my phone mount next to the drivers side pillar - easily visible but does not obscure vision at all. Got the colour to be pretty much identical to the oem gauges.

I wonder if anyone has had any luck here trying to read transmission temps, for either the 6 speed or 8 speed auto's?
