Bill, yours is the 3.15*, right? I thought we had narrowed this down to the "*" version as being the problem, but I forgot that you have a 3.15* that does read SoC. I don't know what to make of that.

I should have my new one from Amazon this week and I'll try it out for SoC and report back. I may keep the old one or sell it to a non-FEH driver.

How did you mount your two units so they don't interfere with viewing the dash instruments? Thanks.

I have both of mine on the dash above the radio location. I use a sticky pad on the dash, the velcro and scan guages and use a computer "bean" wrist bag to keep the scan guages upgright.

Gpsman1 puts his two scan guages next to the driver's side A-Pillar. There may be a photo of it in the photo section here.

2005 AWD Escape Hybrid
Best tank trip MPG 39.02 (scangauge II) for 402 miles on I-70, 10.3 gallons used over mostly flat terrain.

Best tank trip MPG 34.6 for E30 for 271 miles along I-80 in Indiana and Ohio.

Scangauge II arrived today from Amazon.
Confirmed version 3.15

No * or # on the display.

I haven't taken delivery of my FEH yet so can't comment on all abilities.

Did anyone ever find any advantages of the 3.15* version?

I don't know for sure, but I think ( from DesertDog ) that if you order from Linear-Logic directly they are out of the 3.15. ( maybe they made more retrospectively? )

Anyhow, if Amazon has some "old stock" on the shelf, this could be good in this case. In this case, I will order one for my newest hybrid from Amazon. Does Honda have any glitch with 3.15*? Probably not. But I want the ability to stack both of them in my Ford when I drive it.

Thanks for the update.

If I remember correctly, 3.15* was on SGII's with the older processor that were sent in to Linear-Logic to get the XGauge upgrade. I purchased my second one a month or so ago which came from them, and it was 3.15.

I understand it is the REVERSE.

3.15 was (is) the original chip.
3.15* was a chip from a new supplier that had conflicts in the FEH.

P.S. SOC works on older SG's with 3.14 also. ( So I think, but can't prove, * = new chip )

-John

I agree. My understanding from talking to Ron is that * indicates the older processor. Both processors should have performed identically, but they did not. Supposedly Linear Logic is working on a firmware fix to allow the 3.15* SGII to fully support the FEH.

If the firmware fix becomes available I may send my old one in for the upgrade.

Good luck with your new SGII. In addition to SoC, I really like having the trip gauges displayed along with instant gauges. Having trip ave mpg and instant mpg at the same time helps me a lot.

Old or new, who cares?
3.15 seems to work best in the FEH!
I just ordered my 3rd. Hope a new one does not come out soon!

SGI in my Ford
SGII 3.15 in my Ford
SGII for the Honda just came in the mail from Amazon and it was 3.15 !

Does the FEH not have SoC, and iFE meters?
