ScanGuage II. Anyone?

IIRC, it uses standard Ethernet cabling, so adding an extension or splicing the OEM cable should be fairly easy. Or you may be able to order a longer OBD-to-SG2 cable.

That should give you enough info to Google what you need to know. I'd start by looking for a pinout of the OBD-to-SG2 cable. If it's nothing but wires, you can order the connectors (standard parts) and raw cable and make it whatever length you need. If you can't find what you need, let me know and I'll see what I can figure out.

My initial thought was to use an OBD splitter and the scangauge cord and frankenstein them together. That way I still have a free OBD port. Is it powered through the OBD port? If that's the case it's easy.

Excellent idea.

If there are no electronics in the OBD-to-SG2 cable (I can't remember if there are or not), make your own cable. Should be a lot neater than trying to splice the OEM cable. Or you could get a OBD extension cable and plug the SG2 cable into it under the dash somewhere.

I use a splitter just so I don't wear out the car's data port.

Yes, the SG2 is powered from the data port.

Edit: If you get an OBD splitter, get one with a 90-degree connector at the data port. Makes tucking the cables away a LOT easier.

Sweet. Looks like I know what to tell the GF to buy for my birthday.
