Anyone know if / when there's a new update to fix issues with xgauge functionality? I was initially told they're "working on a new version of the program to solve the problem. The problem is found more frequently in the 18F458 (the processor that adds the "*") than the 18F4580, but it is still found in both. This is a CAN protocol/timing issue. We believe when we solve it for one, we will solve it for both." But no news or email reply more recently.

Mine was updated a little over a month ago, because I'd really like to see transmission temperature after making some changes to the trans cooler (warmer!) system.

My scangauge says 3.15* the micro says PIC18F458 -1/PT e3 06304CT

The Xgauge display fields just stay blank, they don't update. The normal stuff works as before.
I am using it with gm can, on an '06 Impala, 3.5L engine. The mode it chooses is cansf.
I am not sure why it's not working. No errors in entry per the xgauge .pdf file.

After it didn't work, I looked around, and see ford escape hybrid guys having a similar problem for some time.

Has anyone used the xgauge feature successfully with a recent gm vehicle?

It looks like some of y'all are happily playing with your cute little scangauge / xgauges, but here I'm stuck just being sad......

Thanks, Dale

Sorry to here it's not working for you Dale. Mine works fine in an 05 F150 Truck. Try another vehicle and see what happens.
