    Do any of your gauges glitch or flicker every once in awhile while driving

    Mine does. I figure it's just a refresh, standard operation. No complaints so far, just need to mount it...

    what gauges are most of you running? I went with hp, engine temp, air intake temp, avg mpg, and fuel level.

    I have tried over and over to calibrate my distance.. and for the life of me I can't get it calibrated right...I have used GPS..google.. everything and either I get 24mpg or 16 mpg..i used the tire calculator and for this :[​IMG]
    then lets say my distance is 3.8 miles ( per GPS) i multiplied using the percentage of circumference as stated before and i get a wicked number i know i didn't travel.. what am i doing wrong..

    on a side note : when I have done my MPG calculations by distance divided by gallons used I was around 17.4mpg but since my tire is larger now.. that isn't correct?

    Stuff and things that make it better.
    Close to a freeway onramp, stop in a safe place and zero your cars trip monitor.
    Go into the menu and reset the trip gauges (MENU>gauge Menu>zero all trip) then exit the menu back to main gauge page.
    Drive onto the freeway and go as fast as you can without getting ticket past one or two exits (at least 3 miles).
    Exit the freeway and find the first parking spot you can.
    Go back into the menu (MENU>Vehicle setup>calibration>calibrate distance).
    look at your cars trip monitor and times it buy your tire size difference.
    Let's say that is says 3.86, times this number by your tire size difference (3.86x1.034=3.99) and enter it into the distance spot in the ultra gauge (up and down keys to change values and menu to save)

    Hope this helps :)

    Do I need to do any calibrations to my UG? I'm running stock sport rims on stock tires which are 265/65/r17 ? Because so far I'm getting 14.7 MPG average, and I only have like 650 mi on the odometer..

    So far: Avg MPG, MPH, RPM, Miles til empty and Fuel level (although when i go to estimate how much fuel is in the take it says "no fuel sensor found".) I also found it silly to have to input 21.1 gallons into the setup menu when i have NEVER come close to putting in that much, even with it on E and even with the marker a bit below E (like touching the black thing). I think the most I have put in is 17.8 gallons. Maybe that is Toyota's fail safe so you don't ruin the pump by running it completely dry?

    Go to fuel calibration screen and enter gallons you pumped into the tank. I think
