Install was a snap \u2013 plug the cable into the OBD2 port under the dash, run the cable along the back of the knee panel, up along the side trim, and I stuck it on the dash with the vertical mount. It actually took me longer to get everything programmed to how I liked it.<\/p>\n<p>The gauges I normally have setup for daily driving are (clockwise in the photo): short trip miles driven (resets at key off), short trip MPG (resets at key off), average MPG (so I can compare across an entire tank of fuel), engine temp (I prefer a number over a vague needle), distance to empty, and gallons of fuel left (changed this to \u201cmiles traveled\u201d later on).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a pretty useful little gadget \u2013 it doesn\u2019t do ECU reprogramming or anything of that sort \u2013 but after using it for the first couple of weeks I realized how heavy my right foot was, and eventually changed my driving habits because of it. If you&#8217;re thinking of an OBD scan tool, I&#8217;d strongly suggest you consider the UltraGauge.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, the 22.1 MPG shown was achieved during a long road trip back home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I saw the UltraGauge EM-Plus in my brother\u2019s Tacoma, I had to have one&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[26,27,25],"class_list":["post-18","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interior-mods-and-accessories","tag-em-plus","tag-obd2","tag-ultragauge"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1416,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18\/revisions\/1416"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
