"As of 1996, the United States requires all new vehicles to come equipped with the OBD II on-board vehicle diagnostics system. The system utilizes an array of sensors to provide feedback on engine performance in order to aid mechanics with troubleshooting as well as maintain sufficient emissions levels. The large expense of readers and loggers has kept access to the system out of range for the majority of consumers, that is until more recently. These days electronics, such as small touch screen lcds, have become a reasonable option for data displays. The aftermarket industry has already taken the jump in releasing software that integrates OBDII output to visual digital displays. Nissan even includes a fine example of the technology in the GT-R. Now GM has developed its own performance display intended for use with ECOtec engines, specifically those of the turbocharged variety, and it will be a $295 dealer installed option beginning in 2009.

GM's Reconfigurable Performance Display can illustrate a wide range of data in gauge form, such as boost, battery voltage, air fuel ratio, cam phase angle, timing, barometric pressure and even torque and horsepower (the later two likely calculated based on other parameters). The device even includes a g-sensor, so no need for hacking your Wiimote to do the job. Traction control can also be enabled and disabled through the screen, along with shift lights for individual gears. Check out the gallery below for various screen shots. While it is apparent that the display is marketed towards Chevrolet Cobalt SS and HHR SS owners, we also presume that Saturn Sky Redline and Solstice GXP owners will get the option. Unfortunately, there is no word yet on the performance display being available for the Chevy Camaro."

Hmm... Kinda' cool.

Wow I wonder if it can be retrofitted to any car with OBDII... I would love that on my 2008 Sky..

*GTAHVIT* · 08-26-2008, 02:05 PM

If the sensors are there I don't see why not?

*Camaro_Corvette* · 08-26-2008, 02:16 PM

I have been wanting something like this for years, With todays technology I don't see why it is taking this long to start doing stuff like this.

*GTAHVIT* · 08-26-2008, 02:30 PM

Those pics rock.

I'd love to have that.

FenwickHockey65 · 08-26-2008, 02:33 PM

I demand this be made available on the Camaro. Seriously one of the sweetest things you can get in a car.

Aye I think LCD panel that is skinnable and even running windows mobile is the future for displays. They can do this stuff now but they drag feet on modernization. LCD + standard hud (with override if you don't want hud).

z28collection · 08-26-2008, 08:23 PM

i def. have to have that on my new ss.

*radz28* · 08-26-2008, 08:39 PM

AH! Thanks for posting those images. I didn't have time, but it's a lot easier than the way I tried it, LOL!

Txturbo · 08-27-2008, 09:14 AM

That would be a cool option. I'd pay extra for that.

StoutFiles · 10-20-2008, 10:49 PM

Holy shit Blur...haha is the console on the passenger side an oscilliscope? It would be fun I guess to see your voltage signals...

fixxer56 · 10-27-2008, 01:52 PM

Do you think it might be available as an aftermarket option?
