[QUOTE="einehund, post: 16427612, member: 67302"] I also have a 2010, so hopefully I can help. The IAT1 and IAT2 are not able to be read by the nGauge itself. if you have a ZT-2, it can read basically anything, but requires the additional sensors and wiring. For whatever reason (probably the bastard 2010 year model) A bunch of the PIDs can't be read. For my nGauge, I monitor Voltage, Manifold pressure, Spark and AFR. [ATTACH=full]1643303[/ATTACH] It works really well for what I need it for. I did purchase the additional 3 (or 5, I don't remember now) bar pressure sensor for the manifold pressure, as it can read vacuum and pressure (easy to monitor if there is pressure loss somewhere). I can honestly say that monitoring voltage saved my ass. The car was fine for about a year, but then I noticed when the coolant got up to temperature, my voltage would drop... Complete sidebar here: You can set the parameters for the displayed numbers being white, yellow or red, and can also use things like voltage to trigger an automatic shut down and wake up of the nGauge.

I'm not saying I couldn't have figured this out without the nGauge, but with the voltage warning I knew the overheating issue was fundamentally related to something in the electrical system and I wasn't wasting my time trying to chase down the multitude of possibilities for my car overheating. On a related note to the nGauge... If someone has an idea for monitoring actual IAT2 that does not involve drilling a hole in the lower manifold, I'm all ears. Sorry for the diatribe. TL;DR nGauge is a good tool. [/QUOTE]
