That's a good question. Let me see if I can find an answer to that...there are quite a few, too many to remember off the top of my head:

- RPM
- Manifold Press.
- Speed
- Eng. Cool. Temp.
- Intake Air Temp.
- Battery
- Ignition Timing
- Mass Airflow
- Throttle Pos.
- Fuel Level
- Baro. Pressure
- Dynamic HP
- Dynamic Torque
- Gear Position
- MPG
- G-Force

Some of them require a bit of setup. The Gear Position requires a gear calibration, and the Dynamic HP and Dynamic Torque require gear calibration and a power run.

I got all these off a video on their site, but I assume they are the same for every vehicle. I'll check when I'm in the car later.

You can also Data Log weeks worth of data to a Flash Drive and then bring up the information on a computer.

Thats quite a few. I wonder how accurate the HP and torque are. Looks pretty cool!

Thanks, I feel like based on the videos I've seen, the HP and Torque are quite accurate if you get your calibrations and power run correct. I'll let you know though. It takes into account tire size, car type, and wind resistance, so it seems pretty accurate.

As HT states, for $600, that's really not bad.

It's an custom setup ARM processor, which gets the job done for the little it needs. Using one of the standard ELM327 chips such as the ODBLink, and similar computer interfaces for ODB-II/CAN-bus reading.

To get similar you could ask one of you're geekier friends to give you a decent HTPC setup, put the ODBLink on with linux/windows and not load the usual GUI and just have the front-end app come up, such as Dashcommand.

Think by the time you were done you'd be over the $600 mark, even with an older setup by the time you get done buying software and hardware. A wireless keyboard with a built-in mouse would likely be a must, since no head-units I've seen have a touch-screen usb out to integrate.
