OBD / Custom Guages on LCD

I see the screen, yes. But if you go through the link, there was mention of some GM specific hardware. It would have been nice if the guy that posted at 6G actually explained what it took him to get it done.

I agree, thats the same pic, and pretty sure same name i saw on FB posting it.
I asked in the thread, and nownwith a name to match, i will search FB again. As well as all it takes to find out, is someone with a BT ELM ObD, and an android, is o buy the app and try. Im away from the car for another 2 weeks or i would have done it already

It will work on any Android Auto capable unit.

But...you have to be able to run Android Auto. That's great for the Android crowd but not so much for the Snapple folks. I should take delivery of my iOS-happy OBD reader in a few days so if someone else doesn't report on this before, I'll test the Apple version of Dash Command and see what happens.

So the exact steps as listed in the link, except skip step 7, and you're good?

And yet another reason Iphones are all hype and no substance lolololol

In that case, I'm glad you're nearing the end of the journey and will be able to enjoy her.

My guess is Steve will continue to extract more from his car. I won't lie, I am living vicariously through him haha.

Me too, Jaime and I expect we're not the only two. :-)

No, im pretty much done after this. Not much more to do for relativley inexpensive or without major concessions.
I figure ill be roughly 800hp on 93 and 925-950 on E, plenty fast enough, reliable enough, no compromises. Not going to gokart brakes and 15" wheels, or stripping interior never to see the road.

I'm thinking of buying the Torque or Autometer Dashlink 2, but would like to get some input from someone with real world experience with these.
I am not very computer and smartphone savvy.

My main concern is how much of a PITA is it to get the gauges on the touchscreen when you start the car.
Say I'm on a road trip with my gauges on the touchscreen, then I stop for fuel...
When I start the car again, will the gauges come right back up on the touchscreen...Or is there a "process" to go through every time you start the car for the gauges to come up?

Can I use my phone while the gauges are up on the screen, or would I be better off with a dedicated smartphone just to run the app for the gauges?

I've got a couple of apps on my phone that I need to sign in with my email and password and some other bull***t every time I want to use it.
I'm not patient enough to deal with a long process to make it work.
I apologize if these are dumb questions or concerns....like I said at the top of this post, I'm not very savvy (or patient) with this type of thing.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can chime in to help me with my decision.
