UltraGauge OBDII - anyone else interested? Group buy?

Group Buy is closed. Thanks to all who participated!​

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reminder - The group buy closes tomorrow evening! Get yours while you can.

Once the GB closes this thread will be done so I thought why not continue the conversations we're having here in a dedicated thread, so here it is.

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ultragauge-thread-all-things-ultragauge.391335/

I don't know if this is a good spot for this or not... If you have any suggestions for a different/better one let me know and I'll request a move.
------------------------------------------------------------
**** We've hit the magic 50! Orders placed today will ship tomorrow! Thanks everyone for participating!

We are ready to place orders! Please use the link below and NOT the regular UltraGauge link. To get the discount you will need to use this link. If you use the regular UG webpage you will not get a discount. This webpage will be available until the evening of Tuesday the 15th. Ready? Set! GO!

http://ultra-gauge.com/ZC/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=10

FYI - I will be in the air and at meetings pretty much all day tomorrow (Wed. the 9th) so I'll have limited access to email and not much time/ability to answer questons or fix issues. If you have an issue with ordering use the support link on the vendor page for assistance.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Update 9/5 - The vendor will create a special webpage for this group buy. On Tuesday (don't know time) they will send me the link, which I will post here. Go in, select your products and pay for them. The vendor will hold the order (will not charge you) until 50 gauges have been ordered, at which time the orders will be processed and shipped. They ship out Mon/Wed/Friday, so conceivably orders placed on Tuesday will arrive by Friday. The special webpage will close the following Tuesday night. 1 week was all I could get. Originally they wanted to shut it down Sunday night...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was contemplating the UltraGauge and thought "surely someone on TacomaWorld has bought and installed one of these, let's see what they thought" and did a search. Holy cow! There have been several successful group buys over the years, with the last one ending Sep 2014 with something like 60 sold. In that GB the price went from $69.95 to $50.95 when they reached 50 committed buyers. I don't know if that pricing is current but I thought I would throw it out there to see if there was any interest?


Edit 9/1/15 - so it seems like there is some interest in this. I've never done one of these GB before so bear (bare?) with me. Above is a link to the UltraGauge GB from last year that may have some useful info for you.

More info - The discounts are listed below. More details from the last GB listed in the link above. All models are discounted. So we would start a list here of those who want to buy, when we get to >50 (taking whatever time we need/set) we will let UG know and they will give us a code. Those on the list have 1 week to pay. When 50 people have paid (must be done in 7 days) the product ships.

Edit 9/3/15 - Shipping is not included. You can go in and get a shipping estimate. Mine was $8.33 to California using 2-3 day shipping. I didn't see an option for slower (less $) shipping so I'll reach out to them and see if that's an option. Shipping Update - From the vendor rep: "We only offer the one USPS priority mail shipping option in the USA. There is USPS first class, but its completely uninsured and has a much high loss rate, so we do not offer it." For a shipping estimate add an item to the cart to get a shipping estimate:

The group buy prices are:
UG v1.2: $50.95
UG Plus: $54.95
UG MX: $64.95

UltraGauge EM v1.2 - check the website for features, they are numerous.

UltraGauge EM Plus -
The UltraGauge EM Plus is identical to the UltraGauge EM v1.2 except for the following additions:

• Readiness Monitors (basically emissions)
• Performance Measurements (0-x acceleration times, braking from x to x times)
• Additional Wide O2 Sensor support to track Stoichiometric AFR via Lambda

In addition, when a trouble code alarm occurs, the first trouble code found is displayed during the alarm event. Previously, the menu system had to be used to view the trouble code.

UltraGauge MX v1.3 -
The UltraGauge MX 1.3 is only recommended for advanced users that are very comfortable with technology and are familiar with the concept of OBDII codes. For all others, we highly recommend the UltraGauge EM Plus. The UltraGauge MX 1.3 is identical to the UltraGauge EM v1.2 except that the MX 1.3 has the ability to POTENTIALLY access manufacturer specific gauges. The best source of gauge codes is on an automotive forum specific to your vehicle.

Discounts including mounts:

I'd like to get at least 55 to account for anyone who doesn't buy within the 7 day window.

 

i'm game.

 

Interested also.

 

Interested

 

Sub'd

 

Which one would you be wanting to do it for? I have the original one but was looking to upgrade.

 

I'll keep an eye on this, but still doing more research on what is more beneficial: 1) this or 2) OBDII Reader + Torque App.

 

I'm in for one. I like my scanguage II, but it looks like it belongs back in the 90's. I'm willing to give this one a shot so put me in for a group buy if it happens.

 

I would be interested. Any useful advantage between the different versions for our trucks?

 

The following thread might help:

ScanGauge or UltraGauge???

 

In

 

I'd be down for it.

 

In for an MX

 

if this gets rolling I am in

 

I tried getting one of these started a week or so ago, I could not find contact info for them. Even when I did, they never replied.

 

btw, im in.

 

Yeah, they say somewhere on their website they specifically don't have a call center/phone number to keep the costs low (which seems to be true as the price is nice). I've emailed their pre-sales support a couple times this morning and they've been responding fast. I think that was the key - finding the pre-sales contact email. I'm just waiting on word for what the discounts will be for the mounts (there are many options).

 

awesome

 

I'm in

 

im in
