Garmin EcoRoute Question

I am thinking about purchasing a Garmin EcoRoute HD. I am interested in some owner feedback. Are you pleased with it. Would you purchase it again after owning it for awhile. How responsive is it? Does it have a Boost Guage? Did you change your driving pattern? Are you getting better gas mileage?

Thanks in Advance AXO

I love mine, it has helped tremendously, I've had 4 CELs now for the same thing, I was able to give my SA what the HD EcoRoute was telling me the problem was. Molly is fixed after having to spend the night at MINI of Portland and after they opened up a PUMA Case for her!! I purchased one for my Husband as well, and I even got my Brother to buy one after I showed him how C@@L they are. I would absolutely buy one again and again!!

I'll try BallandChain...I've had 4 P013A CELs (O2 Sensor), my Garmin EcoRoute HD Connector diagnosed 2 of these, once the CEL shows up and you have your EcoRoute Connected to your OBD you can Pull the Code and then Click on the Code and a description of the code will be displayed and will tell you what the Code means...any further explanation needed??

Let me try to take a pic. and show you, K??

JUST GREAT!! Got an Error Code that I've never seen before...S@@!! And cell phone is not cooperating??!!

UPDATE: 09/09 11:01pm PDT

Phone finally is cooperating...photos attached...sorry for the crappy pics!!
