    Thinking about getting a device / app, but the internet seems to be overwhelmed with options and features and it's tough to settle on something.

    What is everyone using? I'd preferably like one compatible with Android, but since I use bluetooth constantly for music, it would probably have to be WiFi?

    Also ideally it would be something that can be left plugged in and not drain the battery unless the truck is running.

    I have an UltraGauge and love it.



    I also keep a cheap OBDII code scanner in the truck all the time, typically use it to read and clear codes for others.

    What I like most about the UltraGuage is that it's dedicated and always on and that I don't need to rely on using a phone.
    What I don't like about it is that I'm in Canada and the exchange rate + FedEx essentially doubles the price!
