Gauge monitoring.

I bought this new android operating system DVD touch screen for my truck.

I must say, it is worth all the money. I was also going to buy an edge insight but since this new system has Bluetooth I was thinking of buying this

Does anyone have any input on this?

Be cool if it would work, but I'm not seeing where that sensor is Bluetooth.
You could probably run torque on it.

Torque works on it but does not support EGT.
From what I understand, that plx egt module piggy backs

Ah, okay. That makes more since.
Seems like it should work then.
Have you spoken with anyone at sinister?

I like that radio, setup! How well does it work?

 

[vegtech]

Man it works great! I like the Bluetooth hooked to my phone for hands free calls. It come preloaded with some cool aps like toms and torque. I like how as you put the truck in reverse, the radio goes to back up cam (not included). It's basically a full on Android tablet. It is worth every penny. Also they list it for 375 but I offered 350 and they accepted.

So as it turns out....the ecu monitors EGT therefore with a $6 Bluetooth obd2 unit I can read EGT with the torque app in the head unit. Fuel rail pressure is listed as a PID to display but for some reason I can't get it to read. I can read balance rates though. I'm still playing around with it. Here are a few pics.

May have to tweak that pid.

Any suggestions?

From my searching, I only saw one guy that could do it. And he doesn't know what he did to make it work. May just have to play with the settings then.
