    So I found this code for my new XGauge to read altitude, but it doesn't seem to work. Has anyone tried it and gotten it to work on their second gen? Can anyone give it a try for me and see if they can get it to work? Maybe I've just input something incorrectly.

    Altitude Gauge (Feet)
    TXD: 07E02133
    RXF: 04610533
    RXD: 2808
    MTH: FEEE00016B08

    I know it's supposed to be fairly inaccurate (barometric pressure, not gps) but I'd still like to get it to work.

    I too have tried that code as well as one for ambient air temperature (I have a '14 with no gauge) and haven't gotten either to work. I was wondering if that was more for the FJ's but I don't know.

    Is there a difference between that one and mine? If so I can't seem to see it, but I could be blind...

    Can anyone try this out for me and see if you can get anything to work?

    It's pretty simple, though it requires scrolling through a lot of numbers/letters so it does take a few minutes. With your Scangauge at the start screen, you want to:

    Press More ->
    Press More ->
    Scroll Mode to "XGauge" ->
    Press Edit ->
    Input the TXD Number listed above ->
    Press Ok ->
    Enter the RXF Number listed above ->
    Press Ok ->
    Enter the RXD Number listed above->
    Press Ok ->
    Enter the MTH Number listed above ->
    Press Ok ->
    Enter "Alt" as the name ->
    Press Ok ->
    Press Save ->
    Press Exit ->
    Return to Home Screen ->
    Press Gauge ->
    Scroll until you see "Alt" selected

    Now hopefully this will show something. Mine is blank. Lots of people say its wildly inaccurate, but it will show something.

    Thanks for the help!

    Did it work after you turned the truck on as well? I don't think I've tried it with just the key turned.

    Also - did you include any zeros or anything after the codes? I'm wondering if that might make a difference. Maybe I've still just keyed something wrong and I'm not seeing it.

    I'm assuming that's in your 2005? I can't imagine they would have taken out that sensor in my 2010...

    Thanks for the help!
