Hi all,
As far as the OBDII, the system is primarily for emissions and doesn't often monitor basic engine functions. To see what is covered with OBDII is already covered pretty well. For me, the Torque App on my my Android phone with the above mentioned Elm bluetooth adapter. What I'm trying to accomplish is read and display added sensors that are not part of the OBD system. In my case, I'm restoring a VW Vanagon Syncro that is getting a Subaru engine. These particular 4wd trannys are getting rare and expensive to rebuild and are originally designed for 90hp. Putting 175hp in them causes some extra heat that I'd like to monitor. The Subi motor needs some monitoring too. You could put half a dozen gauge pods everywhere, but I'd rather have a more elegant system.

Now, with all of that said, I can build the data collection side of it with some effort. In fact, I have already started. Truth is that if someone has already went down this path, I have restoring to do and could use the couple of month development time better.

What particularly intrigues me is the bluetooth integration and using a phone or tablet for the display. Having no experience in that area (the Android side) limits me there. Getting a clear picture of how their doing it from their site has been a challenge.

Just fishing. I will likely have to proceed on my own, but I was just hoping.
