ScanGauge-3 OBD Vehicle Monitor

Every driver wants peace of mind on the road. Whether you’re commuting in the city, towing a caravan, or exploring off-road tracks, you need more than just a basic dashboard light to know what’s really happening under the bonnet. That’s where the ScanGauge-III comes in.

This isn’t your average OBD2 gadget—it’s your co-pilot. With a bright colour touchscreen, customisable digital gauges, and trip computers that calculate every litre and dollar, the ScanGauge-III gives you the information your factory dash leaves out. You’ll spot issues early, avoid costly breakdowns, and fine-tune your driving for maximum fuel efficiency.

And when the dreaded Check Engine light comes on, you’re not left stranded. The ScanGauge-III reads the fault instantly and lets you clear the code to get out of trouble—or even limp mode—so you can safely continue your journey until you get to your mechanic.

Instead of juggling multiple devices, you get a compact tool that does it all—gauges, trip computers, and a code reader in one.

OBD2 Digital Gauges

OBD2 gauges to Monitor vital parameters such as coolant temperature, intake air temperature, throttle position, battery voltage, fuel economy, transmission temp, EGT, DPF soot level, TPMS and more.

With the ScanGauge-III, you can transform your dashboard into a real-time vehicle information centre.

  • Over 30 Digital Gauges – Monitor vital parameters such as RPM, coolant temperature, intake air temperature, throttle position, battery voltage, and fuel economy.
  • Multiple Screen Presets – Display up to 9 gauges per screen and switch between different layouts for highway driving, off-road, towing, or city trips.
  • Custom X-Gauge Support – Add manufacturer-specific or hidden parameters for advanced monitoring. Includes transmission temp, EGT, DPF soot level, TPMS and more.
  • Alarms & Alerts – Set visual and audible alarms for conditions like high coolant temperature, low battery voltage, or speed thresholds to prevent costly damage.

Trip Computers

Ever wonder exactly how far you can go on the fuel left in your tank? The ScanGauge trip computers give you the answers in real time. From distance-to-empty to litres per 100km, cost per kilometre, and total trip fuel burn, you’ll always know the numbers that matter. It’s like having a financial planner built into your car—helping you drive smarter, save fuel, and budget every trip.

Keep track of every kilometre, litre, and dollar with built-in trip computers.

  • Current Trip Data – Monitor fuel consumption, distance, time, and average speed in real time.
  • Distance-to-empty display so you’ll never guess how far you can go
  • Day & Tank Summaries – Track fuel use, costs, and driving behaviour over a day or full tank.
  • Long-Term Records – Store historical trip data for detailed analysis and improved driving habits.
  • Cost Tracking – Calculate your exact fuel costs per trip, per day, and per tank.

Engine Code Reader

No more mystery when the Check Engine Light comes on. The ScanGauge-III instantly shows you the trouble code and a plain-English explanation of what’s wrong. Best of all, you can clear the code yourself—getting you out of trouble or limp mode—so you can continue driving safely until you get the car properly checked at your mechanic. It’s peace of mind that pays for itself the very first time you need it.

My old EDS died out of the blue, saw this scanner on line and read the reviews on this product. They were very good, so bought the scanner. Very easy to install and operate, works very well and keeps my up to date as to what my engine is doing. Very happy with Scangauge 3. Strongly Recommended

I chose the scan guage 3 to monitor the performance of the new touring rig. Trans temps, exhaust temps, intercooler and oil temps all critical whilst towing a moderately heavy van.
29 June 2025
Great product easy to install. Disappointed that my Nissan 2017 Narvra wasn't on the vehicle list. I have not yet checked for updates. Was hoping for oil pressure and temperature but as yet can't find them. Overall great bit of kit.
29 June 2025
Great service and was delivered within 2 days which exceeded my expectations. The scanguage is simple to use and integrates well with the Landcruiser 300
6 May 2025
The device is brilliant. After much research I settled on the ScanGauge 3 to primarily monitor the DPF status, Soot load and Transmission Temperature of my 2022 MR Triton. The readings are live and on a minimal intrusive touch screen, these are the two main factors the sold me on the device. The Xgauge options for monitoring parts of the triton are numerous and the device is simple to setup. I highly recommend the device.
27 December 2024
The scan gauge 3 is easy to fit and use. It showed on my D max how hot the transmission gets when towing. This has spurred me on to fit a transmission cooler and I can now see how much cooler it runs and have peace of mind with the longevity of the gearbox.
23 December 2024
Great product easy to use
1 June 2024
Easy to connect and to set up. Very happy with this. Seeing the temperatures of the auto and coolant etc. I recommend this product.
29 April 2024
I am extremely pleased with the purchase of my Scangauge 3 through AZScanners. Gary was extremely helpful on the phone … patiently answering my pre-purchase list of questions. After receiving and ‘installing’ (plugging it in - very easy) to my 2013 Pajero I had a few more questions, about setting up some of the readings. Once again Gary kindly assisted me with these questions in a professional and friendly manner. Thank you! Phil B (Adelaide)

So far happy with purchase, still finding my way around it
20 February 2024
What a great unit to keep an eye on how the vehicle is running . I feel if your towing this is a tool for you so you can see how the vehicle is doing quick look to see coolent, transmission, volts and the list goes on. The function of setting alarms to worn it great so you don't miss a thing. It's a great tool.
19 February 2024
Delivery was quick. Product as described. The magnet attachmet is a great idea for easy removal from windscreen mount
6 February 2024
Great delivery & is doing what I want it do
6 December 2023
Great bit of kit. Its helped enormously already with finding issues with truck throwing fault codes. Now we can diagnose and clear on one device. Also love ability to configure screen with all the relevant info we need when driving. Already recommended to friends and family.
25 September 2023
Happy with the gauge and love the new screen and being able to tailor the various gauges I want to see
15 May 2023
Good quality product, only issue I have is the refresh rate even though I have it set on "fast" being the quickest refresh setting I expected it too have a lot less lag with the guage readings. Haven't owned the ScanGauge 2 or anything similar so maybe my expectations were a little high. Overall don't regret the purchase!
21 March 2023
Fantastic - plugs in and goes. Update with phone wifi easily. Keep an eye out at ScanGauge site for new Xguage codes for your vehicle. I have a 2022 BT50 - all I really wanted was engine and transmission temperature with audible warning - but there is much more if you're interested.
