Hi Guys,

just wondered if anyone has tried fitting a scangauge trip computer to a 2003 Landcruiser 100 series v8 pertol?

Would be cool to see the actuall fuel economy(lol) ect, there site says it dosn't work on most pre 2005 toyota 4x4, operative word being most ! This kind of implies that maybe it will work on some models?

Anyway would be a waste of money if it didnt work.

So has anyone tried these in a 100 series V8?

Cheers

Thanks for the reply Trent, unless I'm missing something the site says 2005 onwards, mines a 2003 model ?

Actually had a reply from scangauge today saying they can only comment on usa cars and I should ask the australian distributers, guess thats what I will do.

Cheers

Ok Iv'e been in touch with the Australian distributers, both say it probaly wont work on pre 2005 cars.

Had a look at a different unit : Autel Maxitrip VehicleData Recorder/Computer/DigiGauge

Again spoke to the suppliers and they are of the opinion that it will work on all cars post 1996

Only one way to find out, unless someone has tried it on a pre 2005 Cruiser?

as long as your car has OBD II it should work

Having spoken to the sellers of scangauge and maxitrip, both said their units probably wouldnt work, I decided to give Kiwi MPG a try.

Again spoke to the Australian distributers, said it worked on all post 1996 cars! To be honest this is the same info as the other two products, only difference was they said it would deffinatly work.

Anyway ordered it on Monday from over east, it arrived today, not bad delivery time.

Plugged it in and bingo worked a treat, no issues what so ever.

You have to wonder if the other two units use a different obd2 protocol?

So there we have it the Landcruiser 100 gxl UZJ100R does have a fully functional obd2 which will work with aftermarket trip computers, well the KIWI MPG.
