Thanks, that would be great. It would be better if they had an employee that was motivated to detect even more sensors and could play with it every day. I sent them a link to the SG depository here, in case it helped them out.

I like mine, I just wish it did every thing my SG does so I could quit using it. Still what it does do it does it very nicely.

UPDATE.

Proclip has a new clip that doesn't block the driver side temp reading.



This is the mount I currently have:



DashDaq has had support for hybrid signals for over a year and I believe many of the signals most users here would want are available without the Ford license (extra charge).

This is a pic of my usual screen:


Battery SOC upper left, HV Battery current upper right, HV battery temp lower left, coolant temp lower right, vehicle speed bottom and instantaneous mpg in the middle. Upper and lower limits are user defined, along with visual or audible alarms when limits are met. I have mine set so the HV battery and coolant temps turns red when the temp rises above a certain temp.

There are many screens to choose from, depending on the theme that's installed. This is a user-supplied Ford theme and I think 6 screens are provided, but the source isn't available to edit. I use this screen and another without the gauges so I can have more values on the screen. Note that this is 100% your choice what to have on the screen. Obviously the round needle-type gauges take up a lot of room. This theme has some features I never use, like logging. I believe this is the updated version of the theme I use.

There are things that the Scangauge-II does a lot better than the DashDaq, like trip mileage which the DD can't even come close to, so I have both connected with a OBD Y cable, not the best solution. I often have trouble with one of the DD gauges not working on startup so turn it off, then back up and it usually works then. I'm not aware of an OBD hub that would work better. The DashDaq is currently about $535 at TunerTools.com.

Thanks for the update. Very cool stuff.
My parents got a Fusion Hybrid. I like the gauges that come with that car.
DashDaq is something I would have got years ago if I could have.

Not for me. Way too expensive. One could get three SG II for that price!
