OK, I just got mine just today and hooked it up to my GM cross-over AWD vehicle and it gave me my last trouble code which has been pissing me off for ages. We don't have Autozones or stores that read and clear that stuff where I am at.
I need to play with it more but it tells me the "FUEL USED" trip info, max speed, mpg , fuel mileage, rpms pressures, temps etc...
I also like the battery voltage as I have another car in storage which I keep trying to run to keep the battery alive so I will use it to check on that car too and also the idle rates etc.
I want to test some stuff like gas mileage with my roof rack/ski racks on vs off and also compare against my GPS unit when it states shortest distances.
Also one thing it advertised was you can see a difference on a pick up truck w/ the gate up or down.... lets see this on the KJ comparing mileage for use with racks and w/o and also different tires ie. snows vs AT vs all seasons, 16" vs 17" wheels, tire pressure, air filters etc.
I gotta read the manual and find out what other things this will tell me. I was hoping to see what true HP the 3.7 actually puts out but I don't think it does that

It seems like a cool add-on and for the $$, I like the gadgets and added info. It does not require extra power source ie. cig adapter as it draws from the OBDII port.
For the $$$, I think a good portable GPS is more practical for travelling around and off roading but if you want more info on your vehicle and it's performance, it is a great cheap add-on. Plug and play. I gotta hook it up on the KJ and may get another for the other vehicles once I get a better assesment.
Screen is very basic but I don't think there is anything else like this on the market. I wish it did more ie. color screen, GPS, bluetooth sync to my cell, able to modify the CPU, back up camera and tire pressure monitoring but it will be allot more LOL
I went to the UK page and even found these cool toys for racers where you can graph real time your performance:
