Scan Guages..Looking for a better option

[Parrishw52]

Howdy all, I have a ScanGuageD on my 06 HR Neptune, Cummins ISB 300 HP. The guage is fine, however it is hard to read. I am looking for any collective feedback or recommendations for upgrade. Best case IMHO, a screev the size of my rear camera monitor with a digital guage array like I see available for diesel pickups. Like this.........https://ultra-gauge.com/ultragauge/index.htm ... My questions, what is available, and which is best in class?

Ready............set......go

At one time I was interested in this and noticed discussions on iRV2 about BlueFire. Here is a link to iRV2 posts on BlueFire. A long-running thread is here:

BlueFire Dashboard Community Share

This may be the correct home page link for BlueFire.

Below are two screenshots of BlueFire "dashes" from other posts.

I have no experience with BlueFire or any similar products.

X2 on Bluefire, I currently use a Silverleaf VMSpc but if I needed to replace I'd go with Blueire


There are groups that share the templates for the gauges so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

You can tailor what you want to see or not see. One advantage is the ability to track fuel consumption, you can have a fuel gauge and also a tank minder.

You can also set alarms.

Honestly, Best in Class for RVs, IMO is Blue Fire. It was developed specifically for diesel trucks and motorhomes. My rig has the J1708 6 pin gray connector for the ECM and I use the J1939 adapter to plug directly into the BF.
It communicates directly with my iPad gen 6 via Bluetooth, is mounted on my dash and can be configured with whatever data you want as long as it’s available from the ECM.
I too had a SG-D and it was hard to read and would only show me 4 variables at a time. Plus, as a guy I tend to be more visual/graphics oriented vs. text.
Finally, I trust the data from the ECM vs 20 year old gauges, but that’s just me.
10/10 would recommend.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Something I could interface with an iPad.
