Done, very happy with the mount. Fished the communication cable behind the pillar cover, very clean.

Never in my life have I used a sun visor. Hate them. So correct, no use for the visor. Additionally it is held on with a magic arm and can be oriented out of the way, and worst case it can be taken off it’s a magnetic hold.

I like that the III is more feature-rich, but couldn't they have done a better job with packaging? - it has to be at least 4X as big as the II. I can't imagine that most prospective buyers are thrilled with the size as it severely limits mounting possibilities. That said, I'm not sure that you could do much better than the OPs solution.

I still like the iDash best (speaking as an ex-Scangauge II owner).

OP, have you looked into throttle-enhancers? That is as impactful a mod as the Scangauge. It changes the entire driving experience of the Ecodiesel.

I would say it's about twice the size of the ScanGauge 2. Actually it is pretty much identical to my wife's iPhone 13 Max Pro, but thicker.

The iDash is fine and it was something I considered. Honestly the quality of the screen won me over for the ScanGauge 3. There was another gauge set I was interested in, but they were not able to confirm eco diesel compatibility.

I have played around with the pedal monster, but decided against keeping it. Throttle sensitivity isn't really an issue and building boost doesn't bother me. The Scangauge isn't being used to enhance anything, just to monitor the vehicle and read codes if necessary.

Where do you mount it so it doesn't interfere with the sun visor?
It does interfere with the sunvisor when at the top left corner. However, you can still put it down, just not all the way

Here is a size comparison, SG2 vs SG3
Also found some thread on different forums of other people reporting some issues that apparently the manufacturer is still addressing

"None of the xgauge programing is retained after the engine is shut off"

How can that possibly be true?

Got it today along with my Bulletpoint magnetic mount, easy install.

How did you end up running the cable.

I used the suction cup and attached it to the lower left of the windshield, running the cablebup the door jam and onto the top of the dash... but it takes on too much heat from the sun so I don't like it.

I have the bulletpoint setup, would like to maybe try it there.
