thats what i use, but its kind of a pain imo. Also the battery light will come on if you have an issue or start dropping so not as much of a need to monitor it.

I use a Nexus 7 running the Torque Pro app to monitor the OBD bus through an OBD/Bluetooth adapter (cheapest run about $15).



There is no oil pressure sensor in my 2007 Jeep, so that info is not available on the CAN bus. I use a gauge installed in the sPOD control box instead ...



Since I run dual-batteries, I am interested in monitoring the voltage on the aux battery. I was hoping to find a dual needle gauge for the sPOD control, but the only thing I've found is a custom-made digital gauge that runs about $400. The cost is actually a minor problem, but I really like that the VDO gauge I selected is a near perfect match for the OEM instruments.
