    Daisy Chain?

    Is it possible to run both a ScanGauge and our Interface simultaneously from the OBD-II Port?

    Just in case anyone is wondering the answer is Yes.

    How did you do it? I have an Edge Insight CTS plugged into my Duramax, and I'd like to datalog, and leave the Insight plugged in at the same time.

    Just wired in a second OBDII Port in Parallel, I’m assuming there will be a hit on bandwidth if you try to log a lot of data but for my purposes it seems to work well.

    Ah, good thinking! Now I need to find an OBD2 port and wire it in.

    That's handy, thank you for the link. I think one of my buddies is parting out a Chevy truck, I'll check with him first.

    LOL no probs very welcome, I had one from my old V6 loom so used that but ordered some "spares" from that site for the other car!
    (might even install a third in a less annoying more easily accessed spot)

    Can't see any reason why not, a bud had suggested one but I didn't want more cable clutter between my legs

    word of warning, do not have 2 devices connected when flashing.

    I drove threw a Red Light without issue.
    LOL Just Kidding.

    You may get away with it a few times but it drastically increses the odds of messing with the flash as an aux device' data chatter could interfere with the flashing process.
