:shock: I'll take a look at it tonight.

Which cable and stuff am I supposed to buy? I found them here on DealExtreme

Back from the dead... again.

I have a ScanGauge II. I purchased it to use in the 960 I had. It's FAR better than the trip computer that I have in my 850. It paid for itself in gas savings in about 90 days. I believe it saved me $525 the first year that I had it. I use it daily in my wagon now. I get 22 / 28 on average. Not to many people getting those numbers with the T-5R's.

A few other features that it has are:
- The code reader. When you read a code, it will also tell you conditions when the code was triggered.
- The emissions ready feature. It can let you know if your car is ready to pass the emissions test given by some states.
- The new firmware/gauge gives/stores track times. To good to be true.

I'm about to send my 2-1/2 year old gauge in for a firmware update to enjoy some of the new features.

BTW, some '94-1/2, '95 turbo's do have working OBD-II ports.
'95 855 T-5R M, Panther - 22/28 mpg, 546,000 miles
'95 955 T-5R Yellow Wagon, Lemonade, 180,000 miles

I have a UK 1995 (US 1996) with OBDII
I bought a VAG OBDII -> USB cable on eBay and "acquired" vol-fcr v1.36 software (google it)
And it works great. Reset service light and shows error codes.
