New OBD2 gauge

I have found a new OBD2 gauge; the Interceptor scan gauge.
http://www.aeroforcetech.com/products_interceptor.html


I am currently scanning:
Temp
Knock Sensor
Commanded A/F
Actual A/F (11.2- 14.7 off the MazdaOBD2 narrow O2 sensor)
Timing advance
Long and short term trims
Intake air temps
MPG
MAF lbs/sec readings
Throttle percentage
Load

Oh, yeah; it clears CELs.

Hey how do you like it so far I've been looking at getting one of these myself? What guage pod did you mount it in? If you mounted it with other guages, what guages and how does it look next to them?

I choose the "Red" Interceptor LED color to match my dash on the RX8; I like the gauge very well so far, it's mounted in the Racing Beat "ash tray replacement" panel along with an Autometer ES boost gauge and an AEM AF gauge.

I hope to replace both the boost and A/F gauges with two Aeroforce Analogic gauges soon.
The Analogic line doesn't do OBD2, but has 4 inputs for sensors, and looks like the Interceptor.

I was also looking at PLX Devices line of (very nice) gauges and sensors, but the Aeroforce line has a larger font and a simpler digital face.

I did not like the menus at first, they are "time based" not "per click"; but after a few days, I have adjusted to pressing/holding the button and counting in my head to reach the desired function without even looking.

The only real con I have found is that the LED is dim if Florida sun is shining directly on the gauge, but even then, it is still very readable.

I would give it a 9 out of a perfect 10. (because 10s do not exist)

Will post pictures later.

Does any one eles have this gauge. I got it for christmas and I installed it. It is a great gauge. The problem I am having and trying to find out if any one else is, that after the setup of the gauge it has caused my traction control to be disconnected. It had turned it have and now I have the light on the car's tach that show the sliping car pic. If I disconnect the gauge and restart the car then it is all good. I have asked the people over at the Aeroforce site and they seem not to know yet. Some one eles on the forums over there has had the same problem.
