Scan Guage...
Is this the name or brand name of the product - I can only find one product
when looking for "scan gauge":
http://www.scangauge.com/
Are there any competing products, and am I correct in assuming the OBD port
for my 2002 Accord is under the driver's side dash?

The OBD II port is under the dash on the driver's side. Should be handy
the steering column.

I believe it's the brand name,and the port should be under the driver's
side dash.
you could try Googling for "OBD port gauges" for other similar products.

In Google, try
"OBD-II code reader"
"OBD-II scan tool"
"DTC scan tool"
just for a start.
One I've heard very good things about (but have not tried myself) is
http://www.autoenginuity.com/

Only about five hundred others. Any geek with a soldering iron
and an account at an electronics parts place can make one.
Your local auto parts places all have some sort of OBD-II code reader
in stock.

That looks like a great tool, but a bit overboard (and pricey) for
most folks. To get the generic kit and the Honda add-on, it's around
$500.
The ScanGuageII is probably better suited for most folks. And a lot
cheaper... ;-)

While they both read the OBDII information, their presentation and
capabilities are different.
There's reason to have both, actually, but depending on what you want,
one of them is entirely unsuited.

You're probably right on the first count, and certainly right on the
second.

Other than choosing what items you want on the display, yes. That goes for
any car manufactured for sale in the U.S. since 1996.

They can save you lots of money - I don't know why they aren't mandated for

"MANDATED"??
does government HAVE to get involved in this??? Is it really necessary?
G-D socialists...
you want one,BUY one.
if enough people want them,then the manufacturers will include them as
standard.(and raise the price accordingly.)

hold on a moment... if we had the ultimate "free market" where
manufacturers could do whatever they wanted, vehicle computerization
would give the ultimate lock-in for car manufacturers to rip off
consumers and exclude the entire after-market vehicle repair business.
and that nearly happened - bmw maintenance reminder anyone? but
gub'mint mandated standardized and "open" obd ports and no lock-in.
thus johnny independent can fix your new computerized frod, even if frod
don't really want him to.
if you want to bitch about socialism, focus your attention on wall st
bail-outs and the deployment of your [our] tax dollars on failed
gambling addictions and [il]legal trickery instead. and our new
socialist home loans with what used to be fannie and freddie - we'll be
paying-through-the-*** goddamned communists for /that/ $5T hocus pocus
for quite some time...
