Woah..... So basically it just plugs right in and you get your oil pressure, air fuel and all the jazz?!?

Sick.

Adding sensors?

Found the price: $700.

This will only tell you what your car tells your computer. Its nothing really more than a scanguage except its more expandable and has better marketing.

Yes, thats right. But the look is very hot.
(And Yes, the marketing makes me "wanna have it"....)

Hello everyone,
I found this post and thought I should jump in. The ScanGauge is a good low-cost digital display, but we designed DashDAQ with more capabilities. The DashDAQ supports two analog inputs, two serial ports, and two USB Host ports to get more data. You can add serial GPS sensors, USB accelerometers, additional sensors/sending units, and even RS232 data streams for aftermarket ECUs like FAST, Haltech, AEM, Autronic, Hydra, and others. The idea with DashDAQ is that it will be your last cabin monitor, and it will always offer you more information than you want.

The DashDAQ also has an MMC slot so you can record driving data and performance measurements to it. The Scangauge only has internal memory, which can only hold a small fraction of what you could put on a 2GB memory card.

It's hard to really explain all of the other differences without typing a boring 3-page long response, but you have to see a DashDAQ in person. The 24-bit graphics with alpha blending, user inteface, and performance really make it different from everything else out there.

I'm not trying to bash the scangauge, it was designed for a certain price point and I don't think it's a bad product. My point was just to explain that DashDAQ is a whole lot more than just a scangauge with a color screen.

thanks!

I forgot to metion, we are in the middle of adding "Enhanced" data sets for Ford, GM, and chrysler. When the Chrysler set is installed, you will get way more paramaters from DashDAQ than any other "OBD2" gauge. We'll post the list of paramaters once we have it in BETA.
