Sedans Rule!
You got me curious so I had to look, it's 1364cc.

So how does the accuracy of the ug compare to the aero force gauges? Almost bought a ug till I read more. I don't wanna rice my car out although I do love my gauges. Feel like the dual pod with a areo force and boost gauge would be plenty to keep an eye on things

60-89$ for ultraguage or 250$ per and the cost of the pod. Was a no brainer for me ultra gauge took that one. I feel like my UG can display more at one time than my aero force that I had in a previous car could at one time but that obvious difference between the style of the gauge.
I feel like the UG matches the look of the stock gauges in the sonic being both are digital and square.
All of which are my opinion.
As far as accuracy both are running from the odb2 port and you can set the delay at which it displays on either unit. So it's only as accurate as the display and time it takes to display. I've not really had any issues with the slight delay.

mine with blue vynil
at night
only thing is it only shows afr in open loop and it isnt in open long for very long at all..
whats installed in the left and right cubby hole?

So after reading through page after page of this thread I was first going to purchase the Aeroforce Scangauge from BNR until I discovered this ultragauge deal.
Other than the physical form/size is there any difference between the two? Does the Aeroforce do something or perform better than the ultragauge in any way? Just trying to justify the extra 170 dollars it costs.

I've had both I much prefer my ug less race car but more info at one time.

Question for those more familiar with the Sonic's sensor network than I.
As you can see in the attached photos, my UG displays an amvienr temp some 7* higher than my headunit does. Which to believe and why the discrepancy?
I'm inclined to believe my UG. But that may be because it would show the heat shield being much more effective than previously thought, so I may have bias.

Are your windows open? If so, there is a discrepancy and if not, a reasonable person would expect a different temp outside when compared to inside the vehicle.

I Don't Know
You left the plastic on your radio! I left mine on and I tell people that reach for it to buy their own sonic and pull it off.
On topic, I don't think the UG has its own temp sensor built in so there might be a different sensor that it's reading from than what the radio reads from.
I don't think they would connect the radio to the ecu for temps. I think the radio might have it's own dedicated sensor installed somewhere

I believe the radio pulls ambient temperature from a sensor that is hooked up to the bumper. I am not sure if UG uses the same sensor or a different one.

UG has its own temperature sensor which sometimes gives me a message about being to hot. The temp is UGF* on my UG. The degree value shown is not the same as outside temp.

I'm just curious but why would you setup ambient on ug when it's on the dash anyways?
I know doesn't really resolve the issue but that's what I do no need for duplicate gauges.
Unless the radio one is incorrect.

The UG comes with the temp gauge set up, it is explained in the manual, including a reason why it does, and which explanation I have forgotten. I think you can take it off if you want but barring any action on your part it will be there.

I set that page up to display all information relevant to the turbo (focused on my current unit of study in a forced induction class). It was just for giggles as my last gauge when i noticed the discrepancy.
You are talking about the "UG Temp Gauge". That exist to alert you if the unit gets too hot.
This reasonable person set that entire page of gauges myself, so I know the displayed temp i am referring to is what the UG calls ambient.
I thought the HU displayed a temp derived from a sensor on the front bumper. I assumed the UG used the same, until the above ~8* difference. They both fluctuated over the remaining 45 min of my drive, but never got much closer in value.

Interesting discrepancy. I know the UG engine temp is often a few degrees higher than the water temp and water temp never reads higher than the UG engine temp, so a temp variance seems built in. I can think of a reason for the water/engine but not for the outside/ambient differences.

Laborsmith,
It occurred to me last night that you may have been inferring that the ambient temp the UG displays is from a sensor on the UG itself. Without accounting for light heat, I should think it would be lower as I was running the AC in the car, so it was cooler than true ambient.
Just more thoughts.
