So I am now part of the Scan Gauge 2 Club!!! and I only paid 79.99!!!

Question, anyone have any experience with the XGauge? Want to know what codes have been used and are working.

Also, I was able to pull 4 pending code:
b2aaa
b2a00
p0008
b0800

Tried to clear codes, but when scanning they are still there, don't think its actually clearing. Any idea? The MIL light is not on.

Also, I noticed there is no option to display Horse Power. Is that normal?

Scangauge is 'good', but you will get ALOT more features with Torque, using your Android device and a simple $15 bluetooth OBDII adaptor.

Total will be less than $20, with alot more features.

(I used to have a Scangauge2, but ditched it when I found Torque)

Brake horsepower (bHP) is one of the xGauges you program in and it does work. I programmed it in on mine. You can find a bunch of xGauges off ScanGauges website and also just googling for xGauges. You'll find other forums where codes are published.

So this is what I see on Scangauge site under Dodge.

http://www.scangauge.com/support/x-gauge/dodge-specific/

Are these the only ones?

Can I try others ones that are for different vehicles?

There is no harm correct?

I used one of the Bhp ones from here, and I think some others as well.

I'll keep my scangauge cause I don't use bluetooth or android. I'm behind the times and will never catch up.

So I was able to get xgauge programmed thanks to your help!

Has anyone actually been able to clear trouble codes? The pending codes are not clearing. Getting " no response ". Tried with car on and also in run position. Is there a compatibility issue? Want to know before I try a default settings reset

If the check engine light isn't on, there aren't really any codes. You may be getting the "Everything is normal" codes if you're scanning it while the light is off.
