Nice gift from the wife.
You can also get a cheap BLE OBD2 scanner for trans temp and logging if essential.

Yeah I thought about that . But I'm pretty happy with it's features.. I just wish it would show the MPG a little higher[emoji23] lol. Now I got proof of how bad it is. I did get the average up to 18 MPG so not too shabby.

18 isn’t to bad. 21 would be nice.
 
Question about the Ultragauge:
The OBD2 port will draw continuous power so do you leave it plugged in all the time?
If so does it turn itself off and not draw from the battery?
It takes about 2-3 weeks with no starting for a BLE scanner like I have to drain a battery but there’s no way to turn them off so I won’t leave it plugged in.
Plus the fact that I have to use my phone for the display. It’s fine for occasional use but I want a constant display of: oil pressure, battery amperage, etc.

I wondered the same thing. Mine turns off with the key..

It does draw power but it’s in a standby mode so it’s less than when it’s on. You can push one of the buttons to wake it up without having to start the engine.

Thanks. That’s exactly what I was wondering. I don’t like the way BLE scanners stay on constantly with no standby.
This may be one of my next investments.
