Interesting to learn the details, I have one of these, just noticed as soon as you plugged it in there was a beep and it was “on”. Does this mean they use battery power even if the ignition is switched off? If yes can I set the device to be completely off when the car is not in use..?
It has a constant power to keep memory of your settings but that would draw pretty minimal power while the car is off. You can select in the setting to turn off automatically but again, it will still have the constant power, just like your radio does.
You have to set it to universal and not brand specific. It also only works on post 2006 models I think. If you still have issues contact your local Lufi supplier.
Its all standard software, they should all have a boost reading. In the setting you can change which gauges show on screen and can change boost between psi/kpi. It will depend on what make and model of car you have too.
No you don't, it has an auto shut off around 10 seconds after you turn the car off. It is a setting you may need to adjust manually the first time you use it but for me it was already set. The accessory cable was something to do with use on "older cars".
Do you mean in my video or just from Lufi in general. This version isn't too bad just having 3 buttons to navigate but there are lots of little features it would be nice how to set properly. I'll try and work a lot of it out and make a more in depth video.
@@fordyford your video is spot on . My version is flat screen 4 buttons on bottom ...I been in and adjusted the ignition timing as only went to - 12 and mine goes to -17 -18 ,. But the instructions don.t tell you how to ...yours looks better with + or - feature ....mine dosn.t its all guess work
I guess being the newer model they have seen what works and what doesn't so well and improved it if that's the case. I didn't get any instructions, I had to work a lot of it out too. The local Aus Lufi seller has been helpful too and been able to answer questions.
@@fordyford no dealer here to get help 😵 and I mainly got it for water temp and oil temp/pressure to then find out ford don.t have sensors for oil items another 😵 and the amount cars running high boost again not sure if its ford or lufi with the maxed out 22.5 psi when I.m stage 3 running 28psi on high boost and 25 psi on low boost
@@roguetrooper1000 I too was disappointed to find out the oil press and temp weren't read but that is Fords doing I suppose not the gauge. It's handy having AFR's and intake temp though. Full boost and the AFR's reads 11.5 which I think is right on or very close to where it us supposed to be for Revo stage 2. Boost is disappointing only seeing 22.5psi. There is a way to adjust it I think but I haven't played with it yet. Someone sent me Forscan logs of their Revo stage 2 and it logged 22.5psi but that again could be an OBD thing.
hello I have a question, I bought that product, and the message searching for protocol does not go away, do you know any way to remove it? i have a 2003 mg zs
The best advice would be to contact the local Lufi dealer and ask them. It is possible that in the settings, it is set to a particular vehicle such as VW, Nissan, Mazda and you may need to change that to universal. There is also a chance the car is too old. I'll check but it may be for vehickes from 2006 onwards.
The ad for the one I bought says suits most vehicles after 2008. Does the 97 model definitely have an OBDII port or a different style/version OBD port? I'd suggest getting in contact with your local seller and ask the question.
Hello, I recently bought it, but my Lufi xf doesn't have SD card slot, instead is micro USB port, and in accessories is adapter cable. How to update it?
The micro usb if it is the same as mine should be in the top. The micro usb has the firmware data on it. I suggest contacting your local lufi seller if you can't find it.
@@fordyford Hello, seller told me that is latest, upgraded model without SD card slot, but with usb port. Also one more question, did you noticed that engine oil temperature reading, is lower than water (coolant) temp? That is impossible because oil in engine is always higher temp... Thanks on Your answer.
Glad you got an answer about the USB/Memory card. My Fiesta ST doesn't show oil temp or pressure through the OBDII Port so I don't know. See if you can adjust the percentage like you can the boost.
hi there, any idea how to connect the ACC wire? my lufi xf sometimes doesnt start by itself. gotta unplug and plug back to start. someone say connect the ACC wire will solve this issue.
Most modern cars with any sort of boost control through the stock ecu I guess will do. Do some research on whatever car you have, ask other owners if they know.
Does the odometer mileage reset every time you use it? Or does it keep track of the mileage between sessions? Also, can you manually set the mileage to match the car's odometer?
It all depends what the OBDII port shows which all depends on your car make and model etc. The gauge itself has features set aside under "user". If your OBDII port shows something not pre-programmed into the gauge and you can find it, you might be able to show it under one of the custom user windows. I don't know how to use those features yet.
Thanks mate, this is the best video of this unit I've seen on RUclips.
Very kind, thank you for watching and the compliment. I hope it was helpful.
@@fordyford thanks mate, I'm waiting for mine in the mail. Hopefully getting it this week or next. I will defs be referring back to your video though.
Awesome video mate. Covered it well. That’s the screen I find my favourite too 👍🏼
Thanks again for the heads up on these. It seems good for the money, gives more info than I had yetserday morning lol.
Thanks pucker fella, looks like a nice bit of kit.
Awesome vid fella 🙌
Cheers mate. It's interesting watching the coolant temp go over 105°c on an easy drive up a mountain lol.
I installed this in a new Bronco and it has a gear temp readying is that the trans oil temp never seams to get above 70 degrees
I assume gear temp would be trans oil temp.
My Fiesta ST doesn't show trans temp so best to check with your local Lufi dealer.
@@fordyford thanks

its say "searching protocols" then shutting down, how you can make it work on ford?
You have to set it to universal and not brand specific.
It also only works on post 2006 models I think.
If you still have issues contact your local Lufi supplier.
Seems like mine is missing the boost meter. I'm sad.

@@fordyford let me try again. I have a 2014 ford explorer sport, with the 3.5 ecoboost.
Do you need to plug the ACC lead in to stop the battery dying?
No you don't, it has an auto shut off around 10 seconds after you turn the car off. It is a setting you may need to adjust manually the first time you use it but for me it was already set.
The accessory cable was something to do with use on "older cars".
Thanks for this video! I was also wondering about battery drain
@@grape00jellly No worries. When time permits, I will do a more in depth video of features and settings.
I got the old style lufi xl or x1 ..wish the instructions were better

Do i think it will work in a 97 mustang gt? It has an obd2 port so I dont see why not... beats buying different aftermarket gauges

Depending what car you have you can put it with a fuse that has ignition power I believe.
how do i know if my boost is read thru obd or not?
Most modern cars with any sort of boost control through the stock ecu I guess will do. Do some research on whatever car you have, ask other owners if they know.
Does the odometer mileage reset every time you use it? Or does it keep track of the mileage between sessions? Also, can you manually set the mileage to match the car's odometer?
It doesn't read mileage, just speed.
If you keep it plugged in, it will have a constant power, like your radio, and keep any settings you set.
where did you get your dash mat from? did you have a link?
Supercheap Auto. I don't know if they still sell them.
Anyone know if this has the option to monitor the transmission temperature ?
It all depends what the OBDII port shows which all depends on your car make and model etc.
The gauge itself has features set aside under "user". If your OBDII port shows something not pre-programmed into the gauge and you can find it, you might be able to show it under one of the custom user windows.

@@fordyford I’m looking to use it on a 2000 F350 diesel which I know other gauges can pick up the signal.
@@thosegrays1 hopefully a local seller to you can best answer that.
is it better to use honda mode if u have honda or to use the nonmodel mode ? if u use honda mode how do u set it for farenheit and mph
I dare say to use the Honda setting in your Honda.
In the setting you can change the units between metric and imperial.
I did not see an option to change to farenheit or mph
