I'm pretty sure it works on anything with a OBD2 port but individual car models will have different gauges available to them. Our trucks happen to have lots of available parameters which is great. On my Toyota, I can't view the cvt temp, but I can see individual tire pressures and tire temps which are both unavailable without this.
Great write up David - my fob is chipped, cracked, and very dirty. The tiny roll pin that holds the key in place is always working its way out and the key gets stuck…..in the closed position.
It does get pretty grungy looking. I used a soft brass brush to clean the key itself. Not sure why it gets so dirty, I must pick my nose with it or something! =pGreat write up David - my fob is chipped, cracked, and very dirty.

I think it might be time to detail it. Now I know how to get it apart. ?
Mine already does.It does get pretty grungy looking. I used a soft brass brush to clean the key itself. Not sure why it gets so dirty, I must pick my nose with it or something! =p
I was heartened to see a few people here, including our beloved Phil (@P. A. Schilke), say these were pretty water resistant - maybe that's the key (d'oh!) to keeping these clean - an occasional swim. Or maybe some Aerospace Proctectant?
At this rate, my key fob will soon look like this:
ok you cant show a key like that and not have it got to a pirates chest or some ghostly jail cell.... what does the key go to?!It does get pretty grungy looking. I used a soft brass brush to clean the key itself. Not sure why it gets so dirty, I must pick my nose with it or something! =p

Woah!! What happen to soupie!!!?? Were do i get those batteries!?!I changed the battery in my key fob today! LOL, finally a "mod" I can do sitting down withnominimal cussing (oh yeah, I still cussed, but just a little). =D
First off, I couldn't find anyone here with any info, I didn't want to go outside and get the manual (it's 39° and I'm a delicate daisy), and I also couldn't find my '22 XL bare bones fob online. Some that were close, but not this exact one. And with my irrational fear of breaking every plastic tab I even look at, I didn't want to be going at it like Sasquatch.
I don't have that Nancy push button start baloney (be a man, stick it in and twist!). =p
At first and after a very brief Googling, it looked like it was a CR2025 but I was going to see if I could squish a bigger 2032 in there. I was pleasantly surprised that my fob wasn't decontented and it actually had a 2032 in it.
flip out the key
look for the slot with a flashlight (or be a real man and use a match) =p
put a small flat-head screwdriver in the slot and pries up (ugh, that makes me a nervous Nellie)
hmm, Panasonic, surprised it was a name brand battery =)
stick a new one in, I dunno if this is a factor anymore - it used to be you weren't supposed to get finger oil on them
I'll change every Xmas, even though they can probably last 2+ years (I do use the Remote-X starter pretty much daily), but I don't want to find out the battery's dead when trying to get away from the zombie apocalypse
hook the rear of the cover into the fob first
so that the key side is the one to get pushed and clicked into place (nervous Nellie take two)
then squeeze until it snaps together. LOL, the alarm then went off and I raced around like a spastic banshee

The transmission has a temp sensor from factory or you had to add one for it to display?This was a couple of days ago, but I finally picked up a Scangauge 3. I'm making this post to tell you how great a purchase it was. I love it. I like seeing all the different parameters in real-time, especially the trans temp, boost, intake temp etc. And the capability I thought I would use least, the detailed fuel mileage stats, I use often already. It's just awesome. Scanning for "X-Gauges" is simple and the in-depth information you can display is just amazing. The mount is surprisingly solid while also being magnetic and it doesn't block my view of the road.
There is only 1 problem; now I want another one for my main commuter car. In short, I HIGHLY recommend procuring one at your earliest convenience.
Ready Lift Rear Intrusion Bars (fronts were done 2 weeks ago) Tremor Fender Flares Rokbloks XL Mudflaps (only got to the fronts) Tapped side marker wires to connect the backlight in the Diode Dynamics Elite Series Fogs (just need to pull the air dams back off and connect).
Photos man! We need truck porn ?
Another solid Modify Monday.
The Scan Gauge 3 will monitor the factory sensors if available....
