What options to monitor computer data points? Oil Temp, Trans Oil Temp, Intake Temp
 
So I'm looking for something I can leave plugged into the ODBII port and display data (logging would be nice). The Diablo in-tune can do some of this and I know that the Aerotech Gauge can as well. I want to show mostly temperature values real-time or near real-time. Are there any other options that don't involve needing a tuner? Maybe one that goes to your smartphone?

What is a good vendor for things like the Aerotech Gauge?

What options do you guys know of?

I ordered directly from Aeroforce. There is also the ScanGuage II but I'm not sure if it does tranny temp

That is one I've not heard of. According to thier site ScanGaugeII : Linear Logic - Home of the ScanGauge

Manifold Absolute Pressure Boost (which is cool because of my supercharger)
Water Temperature
Intake Air Temperature
Ignition timing and Horse Power? (not sure on the reliability in those #)

No mention of oil temps though.
update: Google just lead me to a site where a guy posted "You need an ECU Wake-Up Code displayed on the screen along with a Trans Fluid Temp code." and then he gave the codes.

Someone makes a Bluetooth plug-in and if you have a phone you can get free software for it.

Here is one iPhone option. Now all you need is a place to mount your phone while driving

Now that looks cool and I have an old andriod phone I could dedicate. Any idea who makes the reader hardware?

Here's one of the ones I'm looking at, but there are a few out there. Torque makes one and

here is a PLX Kiwi

Edit: couldn't control where they go, coiled one is PLX Kiwi

I guess there are a few options for the bluetooth interface. I'm reading the "torgue" application for andriod is pretty good.

It looks pretty good, I don't have android, but I think it will work with software on iStore

Well this one has gotten a few hundred reviews on Amazon and looks exactly the same as ebay models that cost twice as much, but have Jeep listed in the title.

Soliport ELM 327 Bluetooth OBDII OBD2 Diagnostic Scanner

For 22 bucks, I'll let you know how it works out. Thanks for the advice.
