Coolant Temp Gauge?
I swear I read on here somewhere that there was an inexpensive (like $70?) coolant meter that can be hooked up to your OBD2 port which is possibly available at chain parts retailers??? I've tried searching but now I can't find anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

cost less then 30 bucks total, you also get to view codes and other things. It even logs, creates maps, graphs, etc..

I've got a friend with that. Loves it. I've briefly played with it in his car. Looks VERY cool and well worth the money.

I found something very similar before but I don't own a smart phone nor do I plan to, so I'm still stuck in the same boat.

I'm pretty sure they're bluetooth.

Anybody know about a bluetooth gauge?

mordisk
There is also UltraGauge Automotive Information Center and OBDII Scan Tool . People that buy it seem to be pretty happy with it and its cheaper.
