Here's a bump to keep your thread at the top. I've never heard of or seen an aeroforce interceptor scan gauge in this forum but maybe someone has.

First I do not have one yet but I plan on getting one soon, it does not seem to be a big hit with the 6.0 side for some reason, maybe just too many options out there and for cheaper, as far as accuracy I would think it would be just as accurate as the scangauge 2 as it is an obd2 product just like the scangauge, the buzz test is just for diagnosing a weak injector, it won't tell you anything through the gauge it will just Initiate the injectors to buzz, you should hear all 8 then 1-8 in order and you just listen to the sound of them. If one sounds weaker buzzing is suspect. Please post up some info on this thing, I am especially wanting to know the alert settings apparently you can set it to light up when a certain parameter is met ie the coolant goes over 250 . But you can tell it when to alert u. As a person that has way too many gauges, I either need a gauge to watch the road while I drive or a gauge to watch the gauges
