I read that the scangauge 2 has many more parameters to view. Should I sell my Edge Insight and buy a SCANGAUGE 2?

Thanks.

How is the Edge on reading codes?

SGII, at least my older version, struggles a bit as a code reader. I have heard they have gotten better.

I'm sure you have seen the list of PIDs the SGII is capable of reading.

But, really, the edge probably has the main things needed. (I'm not familiar with Edge)

Do you have the EGT and fuel pressure add ons with your edge?

Even if not, I think I would stick with Edge and do the add ons.

SGII get IPR%

AS Far as I know Edge dont get IPR%

for this 1 feature alone I would get a SGII or something that reads IPR%

very important determining a HPO Leak

I would never sell my Edge. But I would like to also have a Scangage. Yes, IPR% is the one thing that Edge doesn't do and we wish it did. A whole bunch of things the Edge does that the SG won't do. If you're going to buy a second gauge, don't forget to check out the Dashboss.

If you are dead set on buying something, spend the money on ae. You don't need to watch ipr every day.

Edge would probably get IPR% if everyone that owns one would start requesting it in the next update.

The edge has a larger screen & you can change the display colors. I use mine for oil/coolant/tranny/egt.

If you already have an Edge Insight (as I do also) then just go buy a Scangauge II and your covered...... or sell it and buy something even better like an AE or DashDaq.

The only thing stopping you is the cost limit you want to spend.

I have both, but the SG pulls double duty as a MPG/vac gauge in a second car so it's not like either one sits idle as a waste of money. There are a few minor gauges and one major (IPR) the SG does, but it's nothing I would sell my CTS to get if you can handle a day or two of downtime on the truck if you get a no start that involves IPR. For daily use the Edge shows what you need to constantly watch is a much more aesthetically enjoyable way, up to 8 gauges with fuel pressure and EGT expandibility. Ect, eot, TFT, boost, FICM v, voltage, fuel press and EGT all at once in one place.
