The suction cup mount for my UG has been falling off the dash frequently, causing the gauge to dangle off to the side. When I open the door, it falls in between the door and the dash, where it would be smashed if I were to close the door.
Not wanting to accidentally smash the UG, I decided to make a better mount. After sitting in the car and coming up with a strategy, I exited to get the parts I would need. By habit, I shut the door... smashing my UG!
I had driven for months with this problem without issue, and when I finally go to fix it, I destroyed the gauge.
Out of frustration I've decided not to spend another $60 for an UG that is basically the same as the one I destroyed. Instead I dug out my ELM237 device that I bought on Ebay for $9, and finally tinkered with it on an Android device. It seems like it will give me 90% of what I had in the UG, plus some other interesting stuff such as G-force plotting and 0-60 timing.
As much as I like Android and loath Apple, the iPhone is what my work has issued me. Should I pay $6 to get the app on iPhone even though it's free on Android and I don't want to support Apple? Is the app transferable to other Apple devices if I ever get a different phone?
