PLX Kiwi MPG Trip Calculator and OBDII Scanner

PLX Kiwi MPG Trip Calculator and OBDII Scanner Review



PLX Kiwi MPG Trip Calculator and OBDII Scanner Feature

  • Monitors fuel efficiency in three different ways, allowing users to save money
  • Displays and resets Check Engine Light codes
  • Monitors seven additional vehicle parameters, including fuel used and distance to empty
  • Compatible with all international measurement units
  • Small size and OBD-II compatibility makes for quick and easy installation
The PLX Kiwi MPG helps owners save money and protect the environment by providing real-time fuel economy and diagnostic information--all in a tiny, easy to install unit. Its MPG gauge monitors fuel use in three different ways, and the on-board trip computer gives users access to seven additional in-depth parameters. The PLX Kiwi MPG can also read and clear Check Engine Light codes, providing owners with critical diagnostic information and potentially saving them hundreds or thousands of dollars in repairs.

The PLX Kiwi MPG can be mounted virtually anywhere in your vehicle.


Save Money and the Environment
Vehicles use a tremendous amount of energy just to move us around. An average 4-door sedan equipped with a 200-horsepower motor can create up to 150,000 Watts of power. It only requires about 50 horsepower to accelerate from a full stop, but this is equivalent to turning on 622 60-watt light bulbs at once. An average driver in the same 4-door sedan produces 19.4 pounds of CO2 for each gallon of gasoline burned--or about 8 tons (16,000 pounds) of CO2 per year.

Research has shown that sensible driving can vastly improve fuel economy. Users equipped with the PLX Kiwi MPG have instant access to fuel economy information, allowing them to adjust their driving habits and watch the impact in real-time. Not only does this translate into potentially hundreds of dollars worth of savings each year, but it can also drastically reduce the owner's carbon footprint and help preserve our environment.

Easy to Install and Use
The Kiwi MPG is a simple to use plug-and-play device that works on all 1996 or newer vehicles. It installs in just seconds, using a single plug to connect with the on-board diagnostic port (OBD-II) that is typically located near the steering column. From here, the Kiwi MPG obtains detailed sensor data which is used to instantly calculate fuel economy.

The Kiwi MPG unit is so small and compact (1" x 2.5" x 0.5") that it can be unobtrusively mounted on your dash, steering column, or near the instrument panel. A 6-foot cord provides the flexibility to reach virtually anywhere in your vehicle. The two-button interface is easy to learn and navigate. Additionally, the Kiwi MPG goes into low power standby when vehicle turns off and picks right back up when vehicle turns back on.

In-Depth Fuel Economy Information
The PLX Kiwi MPG can display real-time fuel economy data in three different ways. In Instantaneous MPG mode, your current fuel usage is displayed constantly in miles-per-gallon or kilometers-per-liter. This provides you with instant visual feedback on how your driving habits impact fuel use. The Trip Average MPG mode displays accumulated fuel economy information that has been gathered over time. Users can reset this mode at any time to gather fresh information. The Kiwi MPG can also display fuel economy information as Trip Dollars of Gas Consumed. Your total dollar amount of gas is calculated over multiple trips. Like the Trip Average mode, you may reset this to zero at any time. The Kiwi MPG supports all worldwide currencies and international measurement units.

All-In-One Trip Computer
In addition to in-depth fuel economy information, the PLX Kiwi MPG can also display vehicle information in far more detail than most instrument clusters can. The Kiwi MPG is bundled with the following advanced meters:
  • Fuel Used (Gallons, Liters)
  • Fuel Remaining (Gallons, Liters)
  • Distance to Empty (Gallons, Liters)
  • Engine RPM
  • Vehicle Speed (MPH, KMH)
  • Coolant Temp (Fahrenheit, Celsius)
  • Throttle Position
View and Reset Engine Trouble Codes
The PLX Kiwi MPG is also a diagnostic scanning tool. It can identify the cause of an illuminated Check Engine light, giving you the information you need before you visit an auto technician. This knowledge can potentially save you hundreds or thousands of dollars. If you determine that a trip to the mechanic is unnecessary, the Kiwi MPG can clear the Check Engine Light.
PLX Devices Kiwi MPG is designed to help the driver improve the driving behavior by driving green. It displays data such as fuel used, fuel remaining, distance traveled, distance to empty, RPM, speed, throttle percent, coolant temperature in both standard and international units of measurements. This Kiwi MPG can identify the cause of the engine trouble and clear the light all in the comfort of the vehicle. It facilitates to get the code and reset the light potentially saving money and a trip to the mechanics. This Kiwi MPG is the primary contributor to the global warming gas, carbon dioxide. It plugs into OBDII port and mounts virtually anywhere in the vehicle.

The 3418 HD reader is able to read standard engine, transmission and ABS DTCs and display their corresponding code definitions on-screen, and is designed for use with both gasoline and diesel class 4-8 trucks. This extensive vehicle range covers everything from heavy duty full-sized pickups and recreational vehicles, to industrial vehicles like tow trucks, cement trucks, dump trucks, garbage trucks, buses, etc. In addition, the SPX 3418 includes applications for heavy-duty standard compliant construction, marine, agriculture, and other industrial diesel power plant vehicles. The 3418 HD reader comes with both a 6-pin and a 9-pin Deutsch cable for maximum vehicle compatibility, is battery powered for off vehicle use, can be updated via the Internet and utilizes a variety of important protocols including J1587/J1708 and J1939 heavy-duty standard.

J1587/J1708 & J1939 Heavy-duty Standards
SAE J1587 is a diagnostic protocol standard developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) for heavy-duty and most medium-duty vehicles built after 1985. Up to 1995, individual OEMs used their own connectors. From 1996 to 2001, the 6-pin Deutsch was standard. Beginning in 2001, most OEMs converted to the 9-pin Deutsch. Some OEMs still use the 6-pin Deutsch. SAE J1708 is an SAE physical specification developed especially for heavy duty vehicles (trucks and buses). The protocol promoted a standard for serial communication between modules with microcontrollers. J1708 describes the physical and data link layer and is almost always used in conjunction with the application layer protocol SAE J1587.

In the early 90's, the SAE Truck and Bus Control and Communications Subcommittee started the development of a CAN-based application profile for in-vehicle communication in trucks. In 1998 the SAE published the J1939 set of specifications. A J1939 network connects electronic control units (ECU) within a truck and trailer system. The J1939 specification - with its engine, transmission, and brake message definitions - is dedicated to diesel engine applications. J1939 is supposed to replace J1587/J1708 networks. SAE J1939 has been adopted widely by diesel engine manufacturers. One driving force behind this is the increasing adoption of the engine Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which provides one method of controlling exhaust gas emissions within US and European standards. Consequently, SAE J1939 can now be found in a range of diesel-powered applications: vehicles (on- and offroad), marine propulsion, power generation and industrial pumping.

Key Features:

  • Class 4 � 8 truck coverage

In addition to this, the unit also ships loaded with software containing many other useful functions such as graph data (1984 - 1995), an acronym library, an O2 monitor test, extensive bi-directional test functionality, a diagnostic monitor test, the ability to print directly from the scanner via a USB cable, multiple feature launching through programmable hot keys and much more.

Upgrade Options: SD Memory Cards and the Internet
Too often diagnostic tools are created with an overly narrow purpose, forcing consumers to buy a different tool for each job. As a reaction to this, the AX7000 was designed to offer something rarely seen in a tool in its price range, upgrade options both attractive and easy. First, to take advantage of its long history in the diagnostic tool industry, AutoXray has ensured that the AX7000 is Internet updatable, allowing AX7000 owners to both upload software shipped with previous AutoXray scanners for a nominal fee, as well as the latest versions of the AX7000 software. More importantly, the AX7000 SD memory card slot allows owners to upgrade their scanner with specific definitions, codes and datastreams as they are released. A regular release schedule of upgrades has been established for the near future which will include SD cards and any necessary cables. Through this groundbreaking release strategy, owners can customize their AX7000 tools with additional upgrades as they need them, without having to pay for unnecessary hardware or features.
