Mine works brilliantly. Sure you don't get screens of info but it just works.

Most emergency vehicles and other utility style vehicles just have relays and no read out. If we were travelling in the middle of nowhere, maybe it would be worth monitoring kit.

On SWMBO dog van the aux battery has a key over ride to connect the two together in case you need to start from the second battery.

I think that makes sense. I actually have one of those lying about so I might add that to mine.

That was my thinking Mark - paid about £75 delivered off eBay last week and it came with everything required other than the battery! :thumbright:
