    I've searched / read the reviews on Scangauge and Ultragauge.

    Couple of questions:

    - Do they display oil temp for the tacoma?

    - Has anyone used one of the Bluetooth devices?

    Can't find any reviews on those. I'm using an iPhone, which apparently requires a wifi version / connection. I like this solution as it requires no wires / extra stuff in the truck.

    Any experience?

    Thanks
    T.

    i have an android so i use the Torque App. Iphone has a similar version but i cant remember its name. i bought a ELM Bluetooth receiver off of Ebay for about $10.00. works flawlessly. in order for it to display oil temp it would need to have a oil temp sensor from the factory. not sure if the Tacomas have one or not. if they do, than itll display though the APP. hope this helps. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ELM3...t=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item3a7644bf09

    Thanks for the reply ... I've searched here and google but can't find an answer to whether oil temp is an option. Anyone know?

    Thanks for the link - that's a great price.
