AEM’s X-Series OBDII gauge (PN 30-0311) puts multiple channels of data at your fingertips by reading the CAN bus stream of your vehicle’s OBD port and transmitting those channels to the gauge display. It reads Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and gives you the ability to clear codes.
Programmable Alarms
Set warnings for:
-
High coolant temps
-
High intake temps
-
Lean fuel trims
-
High boost (if ECU outputs MAP)
-
Misfire indicators
-
And more depending on data stream
Wiring is as simple as connecting the gauge to your vehicle’s OBDII port using the supplied connector! Because the X-Series OBDII gauge reads OBDII parameters transmitted through a vehicle’s CAN datastream, it will only work on 2008+ model year vehicles. EASY TO USE
Use the ‘Page’ button on the gauge face to scroll through available channels of data transmitted through the OBD port.
52mm Universal Fit
Works with:
-
Gauge pods
-
A-pillar mounts
-
Vent pods
-
Steering column mounts
Anywhere a standard 2-1/16” gauge fits.
Possible channels are listed below and may include IAT, EGT, RPM, Ethanol %, MAF, Fuel Pressure, Manifold Pressure, Boost Pressure, TPS, Vehicle Speed, Lambda and more (channel availability is ultimately dependent upon what channels are programmed to transmit by the vehicle manufacturer).

Love the gauge, wonder why I have to unhook and re hook every time I want to use

I received the box were one of the stickers to keep it closed had been cut. I opened the box and it was completely assembled wrong. When I looked at the gauge it looks a little funny in the front. I took it apart to find out some had taken it apart and flipped the faceplate backwards. All I wanted it for was a boost gauge and it won’t even display boost. This is completely useless for how much it is. Go buy a decent obd2 scanner that can do PID readings. And yes before anyone says my car dosent have a boost sensor. It does, I have a 2018 taurus sho and I have a scanner that shows accurate boost.
