Got my SG II on Monday, June 30. Friday, July 4th I was driving down the street in Gauge mode and it quit updating real time. When I got to my destination, I went through the logs and the numbers were garbage (1000s of gallons used, ave mph over 100, etc) Some of the values were in hexidecimal.

On Saturday, it showed gauges OK and showed most current trip correctly. But day and previous days were still garbage. I gassed up and set the tank filled. Today (Sunday) I can get current, day and tank trips. But previous day is still garbage.

Anybody else have teething problems like this? It looks like it's memory got scrambled and is slowly overwriting the garbage data with new. But if I can't get previous day data tomorrow, which would be today when I know it had good data, I'm going to call foul and contact those linear people.
