Question ScanGauge2 Automotive Computer

http://www.mgtmotorsports.com/sgii.html
Does anyone have one of these? I've been meaning to get a OBDII scanner and this would be great with its gauges and trip info. I'm curious how smooth and easy it is to function...and how well it works.

My daily driver is a Toyota FJ Cruiser and this seems to be a big mod in that community. I have not seen any negative complaints from those guys but then again they are a slightly different breed.

In my few years being a member of this forum this is the first time I have even see this mentioned.

Doesn't look bad for the money. This is the one that I have been thinking about:

I've owned one for two years now. It's actually got a semi-permanent install in
the Z (mostly for monitoring water temp. and intake air temp, but I occasionally
put the real-time MPG gauge up if I'm feeling thrifty).

I've been able to scan and clear codes in the Z, the Cavalier I drove in college,
my friend's '99 M3, and another friend's RX-8.

The custom color back light has an orange that *almost* matches the Z's
gauges. Overall - if you don't already have a code reader and would like the
added bonus of being able to monitor some of your ECU's stock sensors - I
would recommend it.
