3rd & 4th Generation (1992–1996 & 1997–2001)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 1992-1996 & 1997-2001
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
I think it'd drive me crazy mounted there right in front of the gauge cluster. I want it to kinda look like it belongs whereever I mount it. (if I do buy one) That'll be hard to pull off in the Camry. It's a shame it's not DIN compatible.

Well it's mainly the angle of the photo, when I'm driving I can still see the entire speedometer and tach guage. I used to have it mounted on the center console, but it was just too impractical to read when driving.

A few reasons... All of the temps it'll show (I'm quite interested in the intake air temp), the real time mpg readings, the speedometer (now I can read past 140mph). Considering what I paid for my other digital gauges and all that this does for the price, it's pretty awesome. I'm 99.9% set on buying one, I'm going to fabricate it into the cd tray below my receiver. It should be fairly easy and look great.

I actually had mine in the same spot, I used the included velcro and secured it below the deck.
I used mine mainly for the air intake temp, coolant temp, battery voltage, fuel usage (gph), and mpg. I really liked how you can program it to take the average reading for the MPG over a given time, without needing to fill up at the pump to find it out.
And during the summer when I had my short ram intake on, the average temp was about 90-100F while moving, and got up to 140-160F when stopped.

Those temp readings are crazy. I guess they're to be expected... I'm anxious to see the temp of my "intercooled air".
Do you remember if the manifold pressure reading worked?
I bought one for my Camry (gen4) and found out that the ECU doesn't send any signal back to the SCII. So now im using the SCII on my 2003 Echo. loving every minute of it! a must feature on the Xgauge is the Horsepower reading :P

Ya they are high, although with a short ram thats what happens, it sucks up all the hot engine air. It's been a while since I had my Gen 3, but I know that there was at least one feature that didn't work, and I believe it was the manifold pressure reading.

That reminds me, one of the cool features was that it told you the load percentage on the engine. If I floored it, you could see the engine was pushing out close to 95-100% of it's capable power (I believe thats how it's suppose to be read).
