Driving Coach:
Changing driving habits to maximize fuel economy can yield improvements of up to 37%!
Using information gathered by your factory vehicle sensors, Bully Dog's Watchdog software tracks the driver’s habits behind the wheel. As these habits show themselves, the software calculates the best remedy and then notifies the driver. As a Driving Coach, the Watchdog will recommend and suggest different driving methods to the user in real time as conditions and habits become apparent.
For example, if the driver repeatedly waits until the last minute before applying the brakes before coming to a stop, the software will recognize this and then advise the driver how they can improve their braking method and gain fuel mileage.

The gauge will display a combination of any four parameters with over 20 different types to choose from, depending on your vehicle. These gauges are all displayed at the same time an easy to read, 64-color LCD digital display.
