    So I know there are vague older threads....
    I have spent HOURS looking for codes or any instance of someone using the UltraGauge- New 1.4 MX
    I am struggling to determine if there are codes even available for the newest 5th gens (I have a '21 SR5P), or do the codes for the 2016 and up work fine.
    Is there anyone who has made the leap? I prefer the look of the Ultragauge and its functionality based on reviews from close friends in their vehicles. However, other scanners and gauges like the OBDLink MX+ Come pre-programmed ready to work. They just require a phone instead of a physical gauge.

    PLEASE, if anyone has information, share whatever you may have.
    TIA

    Did you ever find programming for the ultra gauge for the 21 model?

    Their website has the xgage codes if you need to change up the configuration. I chose the ScanGaugeII for my 2022 but I believe it works the same way.

    https://www.scangauge.com/support/x-gauge-commands/toyota-lexus-scion/

    Took a little while trying all the different codes but eventually I got them working.

    Currently just monitoring:
    -Battery Voltage
    -Water Temp
    -Transmission Pan Temp
    -Torque Converter Temp

    Wish I remembered. It's listed on their website. I never wrote them down after finding them.

    Here's a screenshot of that webpage. It's one of these

    Edit: These are all listed as TFT but some of them are temperature at the converter and some are temperature at the pan. I find it beneficial to have both displayed.

    Gotcha, that was what was hanging me up with the TFT displayed. I have TCT on mine but the temps are all over the place and clearly inaccurate so was wanting to try some different configs. I'll try all of these.

    Interesting. Only two of those worked for me.
    At idle or during cruising they're always pretty close. Under acceleration (or gear hunting events in hill country) TCT will jump up quite a bit. Usually 10-35 degrees. This is typically my cue to embrace S4 and let the transmission take a break.
