    I run 2 Scangauges with an OBD2 splitter. 1 for tire pressures and 1 for temps and stuff.

    So in running two you feels that's better. Is it too much of a hassle to scan thru to get to tire pressures if your monitoring temps and stuff?

    It is kind of a pain to switch between the different things you want to monitor. I suggested to Scangauge that they make a simple 1 button push to change to alternate screens, but I doubt that will ever happen.

    Also worth mentioning, if you buy a used Scangauge, it’s not likely that it will have a new enough firmware to read tire pressures. It’s $25 to get it upgraded. If you buy it new, and it needs upgraded, they will do it for free.
