It's OBD2 or OBDII not OBD11.

Scan gauges can be useful for anyone, tuned, not tune, etc... Most scan gauges can show instant MPG, exhaust/cat temps, 0-60 times, 02 volts, clear stored codes, show coolant, intake and ambient temp, a whole bunch more that can be useful to anyone.

The only value clamped is MAP/TIP on CMD, all other values show up correctly. MAP/TIP will show correctly up to whatever clamp value you have set. IE you'll show real boost until Xpsi that CMD says not to let the ECU see. Clamp it at 17, run the 16psi tune and call it a day. I was able to hit 17.5 on mine without the ECU throwing a fit...

How do you even know what if anything is clamped on RRMs? They haven't said if they clamp the values of anything.

It's not like if you throw CMD or RRM on the car all of a sudden your coolant gauge isn't going to work, 02 volts will be off, throttle % will be off, need I go on?
If you're using a CMD, most or all intercepted sensors and actuators will read false values because you will modify a signal going out or coming into the factory ECU to control it. Actual injection, TPS, MAP, engine ignition timing, will surely be wrong once modified.
