Saw those, and thought about intergrating it in place of the gauges on my FPV.
As for what can it show. We'll anything any other OBD2 scanner can read.
As a quick guide, here's some of what can be seen on my GT-P
Edit: And there's lots of ways to build a cheap scanner using a OBD2-USB thingy, and cheap/free software, but none of it will be a small touch screen device that'll sucker to your window. |

I thought that AUs had the same OBD plug but it used different communications protocols |

wonder how it would be for a late E-series and AU, be interesting to find out.
anyone know where abouts this connector would be on the car?
Interested as I'm looking at doing a basic program up that will be able to pretty much do this. |

Won't work on E series (doesn't support OBD2 at all). AU's are hit and miss, I think they support some of OBD2, but may not be enough for things like this to be useful.
Connector is in the interior fuse box. |

There's plenty of info on the net about OBD2 interfaces (it's a fully digital connection, transmitted on a 'bus' with a balanced pair of wires).
For E series stuff, check here for the thread on a how to make a EF diagnostic tool (something like that). |
