anyone have experience with this scan guage?

it's different than the one most people talk about on here, and I was just wondering if anyone had heard of it, or better, used one.

yeah, the picture you posted is what I saw for the item on that site. I don't need to fit it in the car anywhere, so, that is not my concern. I want it for the scan coding readouts and want to use it on several of my cars.

I bought an extra cable and my scangauge is removable so I can use it on other vehicles also.

I did the same thing - I have cables installed in both cars and just switch back and forth. I'm determined to get my money's worth!

I have one and it works like a champ.

It is BIG so you might need a roof rack to carry it around with you.

Thats probably something you want to see a dealer about. Apparently that code means "Secondary Air Injection System Malfunction". You can get a full listing of smarts error codes here.
