Gauge for Displaying OBDII Parameters

jonwrong · December 16th, 2009, 09:20 AM

I am looking for ideas on gauge displays for the parameters the ECU sees. I know there are a lot of scanners and displays for OBDII ports, but I was wondering if anyone had experience and liked the operation of any ones in particular. I want to be able to see actual IAT and water temp all of the time. Thanks!

Then just get aftermarket gauges.

I've seen an SCT Livewire in action and they're pretty sweet. A bit on the expensive side but they'll do what you want.

I already have an SCT setup for tuning, so I feel like maybe it's duplicating it. That model tunes as well I think.

Aftermarket gauges are great for somethings, but seeing all the ECU params live is much better than trying to get a ton of gauges. Plus, what gauge will show you timing?

I think one or some of the gauges that Joe from Trick Tuners sells will show you all the OBDII information.

aeroforce makes a gauge that plugs in to your obdII and i think you can display up to 4 different settings at once

They can put it pretty much where ever you want it, even the rear-view mirror. It's fuckin sweet. Hope this helps!

That is so fuggin pimp. I want that.

wraitherx · December 16th, 2009, 11:58 AM

Yeah, I was going to get one from Joe and put it in my rear view like he did but after talking with him I decided that I really wont need it.

M.P. Cobra Fan · December 16th, 2009, 12:16 PM

I will probably never need all of that info either, but it is cool to have. Overkill is nice every once and a while. This is kinda like using napalm to get rid of a rat problem though. Honestly, who gives a shit though it is cool.
