I've heard some say the cable works on two of the same device provided you are displaying different data points on both, but honestly I think at some point you will get a data collision (both devices needing a data update at the same time).
Using it with multiple devices would complicate the issue, I think.

now what if u have a ultra gauge on one side and maybe a mikes sct tuner on the other... will that clash or work together!

The first review of the adapter states: I needed to augment my dashboard with digital gauges (Scangauge II, Ultragauge,etc) and still retain a connection for a portable code reader. This cable satisfies that need quite well.

I have a sort-of-related question about Scangauges. I have a SGII and really like every thing about it--except that I cannot also get EGT display.
So, the question is: Should I get a stand-alone EGT gauge or should I buy an Edge Insight with EGT probe and then sell the SGII? I think the Edge Insight could replace all the gauges read by the SGII(?), plus allow the EGT to be displayed.

I had the Bullydog Outlook on my 7.3L. Loved it. It is only a monitor. Worked very well. You may well know that you have to have the EGT temp sensor installed to monitor EGT's no matter what gauge you use.

Yes. The pyrometer will definitely have to be added. And...the Edge Insight CTS is $400 plus pyrometer ($100) that plugs directly into CTS plus the mounting fixture for dash *($50). Basically, a $550 solution to make a very nice monitor of engine conditions. How about the Bullydog Outlook?
