1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Everyone still pays $160 for a scangauge in 2021? Are there no alternatives?
I can make an OLED version with an arduino clone for 30-40 bucks, so I don't see why someone hasn't made a nicer mass produced version for $20-30

 

UltraGauge is better and is OLED

 

Scangauge is actually garbage

 

Same problem

 

Nah, easier to control and has a much better display and form factor plus its cheap at $80

 

Still like 2x too much IMO

 

Yeah but i like things that come in a good form factor and do a single dedicated job well, not some dude's hacked together proto board running bootleg torque on a raspberry pi

 

Me too. And those things generally are cheaper too once mass produced. So why has a decade+ old glorified OBD2 scanner not changed in price? No competition it sounds like.

 

But it's still plenty cheap.

I run one on my A pillar -

 

Having had a SG2, Ultragauge, CTS2, and CTS3 I think the UG is the best value, especially for a 1st gen

I really do like the CTS3 for the ford though

 

You're talking to someone who has enough $100 purchases pending to send himself into bankruptcy lol. I don't buy anything if I can't justify the markup

 

Quit being financially responsible here; there's another section for that

 

chinesium dongle and call it a day. If money is an issue

the very nature of being a member on this forum contributes to financial irresponsibility

 

It shouldn't, assuming credit balances are at 30% or below at ready, with no new inquiries.

 

This guy gets it!

 

Did that but the tablet takes too long to boot
Never found a minimalistic ROM for just running Torque to speed it up

 

It had been going up consistently for years prior to that. Need like.. 850 before I'm satisfied
