Just for information. a few years ago ib516 posted he had his scanguage send in and had their up grade. I was near their store in chandler Az last winter had the up grade for free. The $25.00 charge is for the mail . New items were added and the screen was made brighter. Trannie temp was added. I have tested it with our trannie gauge and both read the same. Our scanguage was several years old so might be the newer models have this.
