Yay, got a ScanGauge II for Christmas, and I think I've got the X-Gauges how I want them.

Engine RPM, water temperature, a far more accurate display of battery state of charge, and high voltage battery current flow - I’d say that’s a pretty decent config.

Although, I’ll have to send it back to the manufacturer to have the firmware updated to 4.45 (actually 4.50 is out, so that instead) - it’s got 4.42, which can’t do Toyota TPMS, which would be really handy to have (right now, all I get is an idiot light saying a tire’s low, when the car knows damn well which tire it is, and what pressure they’re at).

Congrats! I had a scangauge 2 for years and loved it. Sadly, when my car flooded during Hurricane Matthew, the scangauge got submerged in water and stopped working.

Sweet, don’t forget to xgauge your trip meters in as well- the manual tells you how. Daily mpg, dost and time to empty, $/ day etc etc

Yeah, I read those documents, although the Prius has that functionality integrated into its instrumentation already (even the $/day stuff).
