I am trying to decide if I want to spring for a scangauge 2, or get myself a little 7" lcd screen and buy a 60 dollar obd2 adapter for a computer. I have a computer I could put in and I think I have a couple places I could fit it in my car (under the seat actually looks big enough amazingly).
Looks like the screen, adapter, and inverter would set me back just over 300 dollars. With a little more investment I could get a GPS receiver and have a nice navigation system and play MP3's straight from the hard drive down the road.
Negatives of a computer are:
Slow boot up time (I am told most people doing this use a form of standby to speed things up)
Potential for more problems down the road
Drain battery if EOC'ing?
Target for thieves?
Time put in initially to get up and running
Positive of computer solution:
Much more expandability
More intense data logging possible
Coolness factor
I want to just go for a scangauge, but feel that I will regret it later
. Then again maybe I won't miss all the work I didn't put into a stupid computer inside of a car.
If you all haven't noticed I am up at 2:30AM ranting about nothing, feel free to read this and move on to the next hopefully more intelligent thread.
