carputer obd2

[colonel6632]

hello everyone. i am currently building a carputer out of spare parts and want to interface it with my car to show current speed and instant gas mileage and a bunch of other stuff.

does anyone recommend a cheap obd2 usb connector that they have experience with

i found this one

and how are the update times... is it pretty close to instant or a few seconds lag (speed and such)

That looks nice... I want one so I dont have to pay for diagnostics anymore!

i'll post a link around 9ish, when i get home. (or you can search for a thread i started. The link was posted by yalero)

unit + cable runs like $69.99

[colonel6632]

well this one runs like $10... i can get usb cables for cheap.

hmm... i'd be leary. we definitely need a module between the obd2 port and the computer, to interpret.
