Default Car data / gauges on screen

This looks pretty cool. No need for the gauges some of you guys fit. Just get one of these and a Gamin sat nav.

Pics as fitted here; (BMW but you get the idea)

If you have an ipod or iphone, you could use Dev Toaster's Rev 2 app and a wifi signal from the OBD2 port using something like a PLX Kiwi device.

Loads of engine data and gauges.

Wonder how many of these are available on an STI?;
  • RPM meter
  • Choice of gauges: Fuel Flow, Intake Air Temperature, etc. Coolant/Temperature-Oil/Pressure data Throttle position, Combustion mixture, Engine component operation and status, Battery and charging system information, Climate control information – Heat and A/C etc.

I have one of these on my Nuvi 1690, I'll check and see what info you get, but I know you get RPM, Coolant Temp, TP, Volts & Intake Pressure.

Looks good but IIRC no boost pressure; oil temp; oil pressure & takes approx 2 seconds delay for gauges to register change.
