    I just got my new scangauge and I plug it in. I first turned on the car,then plug the unit into the obdII plug. It just keeps reading and will not connect and get reading. I tried disconnecting a few time but every time it just reads " connecting " Anyone have this problem and how can it be fixed ?:mad:

    Try connecting before powering up the car. It should have trouble-shooting tips in the back of the manual.

    My scangauge takes a while to connect. Maybe 20-30 seconds and then its ok. Just be patient and let it sit for a while. Also the phone style connector on mine is loose too so I have to make sure its pushed all the way in.
    Not many reports of bad SG's though.
