ScanGauge 3 OBDII Vehicle Monitor - installed

n2mp60 · Thursday at 9:27 PM

Just installed the ScanGauge 3 in my 26 ORP. It had been in my 23 ORP, mainly to monitor temps when towing a 16' Airstream through the mountains in Colorado.

Direct connect from the OBDII connector to the ScanGauge 3 display. Super fast update rate.

Nice job. I run an older scanguage in my F350 (20 years old). Still works like a champ. Not a fancy color screen though

What mount did you use to mount it

n2mp60 · Sunday at 2:06 PM

I went with Bulletpoint Mounting Solutions as there isn't a lot of room for a mounting arm behind the Scangauge monitor. The Bulletpoint ball is 20mm, which is 5mm smaller than the standard Ram Mount ball.

I designed and 3D printed a custom cradle for the monitor, as there really wasn't anyway to directly attach the ball to the monitor. The STL file available on request. Double sided foam tape holds the monitor to the cradle.

Ok thanks for the response

Would a 3M tape mounted MagSafe magnet fit on the back of the display? There's plenty of 3rd party MagSafe mounts that are easily converted to almost any surface method. The TRD power button MagSafe is a prime example.

There's not much weight to the Scangauge monitor, so I would imaging that would work as well.

As an engineer, I'm always leaning toward a more complex solution.

Heat is an issue. Like was already mentioned, it’s not that heavy. The 3m heavy duty was not holding up due to heat. I ended up using a “dual lock“ style Velcro that is holding up to the heat. It also makes it easily removable.

@n2mp60 thank you for sharing this setup. I’ve been considering the ScanGauge3 to watch temperatures while towing too

would you mind sharing a picture of your center console setup? I spy some bullet proof mounting

n2mp60 · Monday at 7:55 PM

Yep. Here's the parts. One of each.

@n2mp60 was more thinking about the set up you have near the screen in the middle of the vehicle. I’m currently using the bullet proof mounting “Tacoma” handle mount but thinking about adding another. Looking for ideas
