Does anyone have one or have any knowledge about this product? I have been looking at this product for a while now. I need gauges but for the price of 2 gauges i could monitor 20 different things with this unit. It seems like a good investment. It says all 96' and newer vehicles with OBDII port. So will that work in my 97' 12v? Do you just plug it up and use it or do you have to run extra wires and drill and tap ports for egt and boost and all that or does it run off of the computer somehow? I am just looking for some information on the product because i am very interested in it.

Here is a link to the product if you are not familiar with it.

No one huh? It looks vey similar to the Bullydog PMT except this one doesn't do any performance tuning, its just a gauge/monitor.

I'm using it on my '07. It was a simple install. One power wire to the main box. Drill and tap t install the pyrometer. Plug into the OBDII port. Attach to dash/windshield. Easy.

I like it. It's easy to see when I'm driving. One small box in the corner. Not any clutter. It dosen't have a dimmer for the display, though. I think that would be nice.

Monitoring functions are more limited than you think. It will display those items that are monitored by the ECM. Dodge seems to monitor less than Ford and Chevy do. You'll need to look and see what's available for your particular year. You might be disappointed.

I have never heard of that product, however it does look pretty snazzy. I'm wondering if it is able to monitor some stuff through OBD, but then you also have to install EGT probe, etc for the other things that the PCM/ECM are unable to read.

Hopefully others respond, cause really that isn't all that expensive it it can do what it says it does.

Yes, it can.

It can also measure things like 1/4 miles times, calculate HP and Torque.
