    I have just realised this should be a new thread. Sorry for posting it elsewhere!!!

    I believe there is a new Scangauge2 version 4.5 out now or due very soon.
    Does anybody know anything about it?
    Is it an improvement and what extra features will it have?
    Billy in the UK, waiting to buy one

    Yes, I just bought one two weeks ago and the latest version is 4.05. I checked to be sure before the purchase.

    This is my first ScanGauge so I cannot comment on improvements, etc. I do know that I configured it per advice read on PC and then configured XGauges per the spreadsheet made available on PC.

    Thanks to the wonderful people on PC it was plug-and-play with no issues.

    Sorry Jeff.
    My mistake.
    So it does exist!
    Do you know if it is any better?

    Ah.
    I have just seen this!!
    Thanks. That is good to know!
    The supplier in the UK seemed concerned there may be reliability issues and suggested I wait 3 weeks before buying,
    I wonder why...

    Better than what? I have version 4.02 and it works well. Ask your question on Hybrid Cars General Forum - Hybrid Car Forums as Bob Wilson is testing an upgraded ScanGauge.

    I meant to say "is 4.05 better than 4.02?"
    Yes, I will check with Bob.
    Thanks Jeff.

    I have 4.05. I've listed my experiences at http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-...on/95208-scangauge-4-05-problems-2nd-gen.html.

    I've been in some email conversations w/Linear Logic about the bugs I've been hitting. They asked if I could try an older version (but I'd assume that mean sending SGs back and forth again). I later discovered what I believe the bug is in post 9 and asked if I could test a version w/a fix for that instead. So, I'm in a holding pattern right now...
