i'm thinking of buying a scangauge 2 for my JDM 05 sti forester - i've been told somewhere that the scangauge wont work on JDM models - is this true ????

 

I know that the VI monitor will not work on 3 JDM Imprezas that I have tried mine on (my own S202, an NB-R and a V5 STi) , I assume that the scanguage works on the same principle of connecting via the OBD II port under the steering wheel cowling?

I would try before you buy as in my case the VI monitor does not work so I will have to try and sell it.

 

"I assume that the scanguage works on the same principle of connecting via the OBD II port under the steering wheel cowling?"

yeah the scangauge plugs into the OBDII port below the steering wheel - problem seems to be that the JDM vehicles ecu wont "share" their info the way UK spec models will
