You might need to use the MPGuino, it's universal. You tie into the VSS and injector signal and it figures the rest out.

Does it have an OBDII data port? If so, it should be compatible.

Yeah, well, that's the problem. It does have a data port, but rumors online are that that port is not ODB II compatible. Would hate to order a gauge in the US and not be able to use it. But maybe I should just ask my mechanic to try and see.

...SUGGESTION: check the aftermarket "hand-held" OBD-II readers and see if *any* of them are compatible with your ForFour. If *they* can read its OBD-II, then there's (usually) a good chance other devices (like SGII and UG) can too.

I just got an ultragauge and have to say that I love it. Great customization and tons of options with the sensors. I am confident I will see improvement in FE

My Ultragauge came in a few days ago (after being back-ordered over the holidays).

Wow, very intuitive and quick access to nearly every sensor reading with a few clicks if I desire.

Gas mileage has already jumped 14% in this snowy, wet weather we are having. Looking forward to the summer!

I don't see how the Ultra Guage is not the best deal hands down. I have looked over many the last few days, Scan Guage, DashDAQ, Trendsetter, UG and so on. UG has the best bang for the buck. Even if I didn't like it, for the price I don't think anything is lost. I can say the screens and such mimic the DASHDAQ to me. And that's one expensive guage/logger device.

just a quick question, the UG website says this about comparability "Any vehicle with a multi-displacement engine that does not have a Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF) will not measure MPG accurately, unless Multi-displacement is disabled via Auto-Stick or equivalent"

I want to purchase the US for a 2002 civic, and I know that it does not have a MAF, or MAP sensor, I beleive it has AIT (intake temp) will it work. Any one with a older gen civic using UG?

You have a MAP sensor.

^^^, and it's not multi-displacement. UG will work fine with it.
