I want DTE on my V!

[MacGnG]

okay so my girlfriend has a 2006 sentra and she has DTE (distance till empty) on her odometer. i was a bit disappointed that the versa doesnt have this feature. so she suggested i ask you guys if there is any way to add this to my Versa?

Thanks!

P.S. [ I dont wanna spend TOO much on this ]

A Versa is the cheapest Nissan you can get. It's not supposed to have every little nifty feature that the other Nissans have. But anyways... I don't know how to add that feature and it's not important to me anyways.

I think the scan gauge 2 has that feature. It runs a few hundred $.

Fixed. There are versions available with lots of options not available here, like in Europe, for example.

Yep, sure does have this feature. It runs $170 directly from their website.

Why would you need this? When the near empty light comes on, you have about 2 gallons left (conservatively) and if you've been tracking your MPG roughly, you can estimate how many miles you can go before you are really screwed. Easier still, just fill up when you get close to the light coming on or when it comes on. A little bit if thinking > spending money on nanny gadgets you don't need.

I fill up whenever I reach 1/4 tank remaining, taadaaa!

scan gauge 2 is cool gives other readings also.

well if your not looking to spend alot, theres really no way to do it. Like they said you can get the ScangaugeII, its got several things including that on it.. But it does run almost $200 after tax and shipping..

When I had mine, and what i do in my cavalier now, i tracked my milage, to figure how many miles i can go till i'm screwed.. The versa has roughly 2 gallons left when the e light comes on..

[MacGnG]

i know i dont NEED it. but after driving her car for over a year, you get lazy and i like it.

i looked up the scan gauge II, how easy is it to install?

[Versa Madness]

Plug N Play. Plugs in directly to your OBDII port under the dash to the left of the steering wheel.

Plug N Play.

You know, some cars don't even have a FUEL GAUGE!!! For instance, the Eastern European-built Trabant only has a "low fuel" light. When the light comes on, you have only a few miles until you run out of fuel. This is why the Trabant is so light; you can simply pick it up and carry it to the next petrol station.

A car designed and first build in communist Russia controlled East Germany during the late 1950's light enough to pick up and carry to the next gas station? 820 kg..... alrighty, then. To go along with having no fuel gauge for it's 22HP 2 cycle engine, the Trabant also had no oil filter, no oil pump, no radiator, no heater or AC, and no fuel pump since the engine was gravity fed. I remember an article online a while ago about thoughts to export/build it in Africa.

Alas, let's not relish on automotive shortcomings of the distant past.....The Versa is a modern car that comes complete with a fuel gauge, a low fuel warning light, and also has an OBDII port to plug in a ScanGauge II which has the capability to display DTE.

If the OP wants one, so be it.
