    I want to get an OBD2 scanner in the next few days, and from what I've read people seem to like the Scangauge II. I've also ready good things about the Innova (made by Equus) scanners, specifically the 3140 and the 3150. The Scangauge looks a lot simpler. Does it have as much functionality as the Innova scanners as far as checking codes etc? The 3150 does not have real time data, but the 3140 does, althoughI don't know if its as comprehensive as the Scangauge. The 3140 can monitor ABS/SRS codes as well as transmission information. I haven't seen anything specifically stating that the Scangauge can do this. If someone could shed some light on this I would be very greatful.

    I've been searching and searching but can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for.

    P.S. I'd like it specifically for my 05 Tacoma, but I understand they both work on all OBD2 vehicles (and the Innova products work on some OBD1 vehicles).

    Thanks!

    did A LOT of reading around. ending up going with the scangauge. some OBDii products seemed to have a little more diagnostics to offer but this seems like overall the best value.

    The scangauge II does read transmission temp. It has to be added as a x gauge. It only took about 3 minutes after getting codes from scangauge site.
