Thanks for the video! I've been wanting one of those for a while now, but always wondered if it would read tranny temperature, I guess I can't go wrong now since mine its also a 1999 trans am! Oh, and by the way, same color also! Hehehehe!

this can also read SES lights...correct?
You don't have to splice ANYTHING. I literally walked outside, holding the gauge in hand, and plugged it in. It turned on, and I set it up. I later ran the wires.. took 5 minutes.

It reads AND clears SES lights. if you watch the video, it says "Scan DTCs" and "Clear DTCs"

I just went over a log from the other night.

It went up to 187 when stopped at a traffic light for a while, but stayed at 180 for most of the drive (30 minutes).

Then again, IAT was about 45*...

LOL. If you watch the vid, towards the end when she's walking over, you'll hear a "KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK" that's me banging on the windshield telling her to go away

There's a logo section in the setup list, I haven't checked it out yet. Will do

Man, thats a badass vid! Ive had my gauge for a couple years now and never knew it had that many options! I'm going out to play with mine right now

It does have a reading for MAP, so if you are running an SD tune with a 2 or 3 bar MAP sensor and your computer has been recalibrated with something like HPtuners, I don't see why it wouldnt show positive psi.

I have this scanner as well. I only paid $45 for it from a used to be friend (I hate that mother f*cker now lol). Its a pretty cool little toy with a huge variety of settings. It replaced just about every gauge you could think of. The warning/shift lights on it are pretty handy as well. A lot of people run multiple scanners in their cars so they can view 4 or 6 or however many things at the same time.

I don't pay much attention to it any more, but at first the 1/4 mile/0-60 things were fun to practice with on the back roads.
