Well, I've give it a try....anything a try... Drove me nutts today driving all around and wondering what to do (I JUST read this post).
I figure it'll be monday at the least before I hear anything on the Aero boards.... but in reading your post...

i disabled mine again and you do get the lights,
is certainly the part I was wondering most about.

Will try something during m' lunch break tomorrow...maybe go back into platform 3 and uncheck everything and then try again through platform 2.

Thanks for the input.

Thanks.... And you're up to bat AGAIN!!!!!!!

I went back at lunch today and tried With key in/On but not running-- UNchecking everything in platforms 1,2, and 3 and still get the screen "Vehicle must be at 0 Mph"

From there tried JUST platform 2....and still get the screen "Vehicle must be at 0 Mph"

Unchecked every item and check a couple on platform 3......and still get the screen "Vehicle must be at 0 Mph"

Went back and tried ALLLLLLLLLLLLL this again WITH the vehicle RUNNING.....and still get the screen "Vehicle must be at 0 Mph"

I tell ya'..... I bought this gauge for ONLY TWO reasons... for the trans temp AND the ESP disable------> So at the moment I'm only gettin' 50% of what I want!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope this can be fixed soon! NOoooooooo response yet on the Aero boards................ I aint *there* YET...but I'm close to hoppin' Mad!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't get too mad yet. When I first got mine I had a devil of a time getting things to work. The instructions that came with it AND the downloadable instructions are not detailed at all.
Mine is in platform two. I just went out and disabled ESP, and the ABS and "skidding car" lights came on. The engine was running when I did this.

I remember getting the "Vehicle must be at 0 Mph" warning when I first hooked up the gauge and was trying to set it up. I don't remember what brought it on though. It had nothing to do with disabling ESP.

If you don't get it working by Tuesday evening, I'll do it again, write down each step, and post it here.

Awsome, glad to know this aint one in a million-type problems. I'll keep tracking on the Aero site but I may just have to take you up on the write up! i hate having to say that for something that *should* be pretty dam easy (Well, ok... it was AT FIRST).

Many thanks

ohhhhhhhhh thanks for the reminder - i WAS able to find a gauge pod-- a Pillar mount one--- its actually for a mustang but it looks like it may work well_ its actually TEMP fitted though to the Sport cage just above & to the left of the driver I'll try and snap some pics and get 'em posted here ASAP.

also i think from reading some of the aeroforce forum you can unplug from the obd port and rest the gauge.not sure how long this takes.

just got mine tonight and wanna plug it in, just to make sure it works before I get a pod and mount it. I gather that I wanna use platform 2, especially if I wanna keep track of my tranny temp. Do you select different parameters to monitor from all 3 platforms, or are you limited to what ever is listed under platform 2? Their instructions leave a little bit to be desired.
