Good OBD Dashboard Monitors - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Can anyone help me find a reasonably priced OBD dash monitor (like the Diablosport) that has "drag strip options, gauges, and a code reader?" And also that is compatible with the LLT.

Thx

I don't know of any other ones besides the Diablosport Trinity

very cheap, my buddy picked one up for his truck and i couldnt believe how nice it is!

I've got an UltraGauge and like it but it doesn't do any performance data monitoring at all. It only reads what the ECM allows it to and nothing else. Oh, and it works with the LLT.

Thx kind of figured this was going to be the best choice. And yea sucks that it doesn't log any info!

Auterra. They make monitoring software that runs on laptops, palms and even smart phones. Very configurable, plugs into ODB port and will display the sensors or parameters of the user's choice. http://www.auterraweb.com/ I run this on an old Palm 505. Works great and the dyno features and 1/4 mile timing is pretty accurate. It will also data log several sensors at once.

I bought a Dashdaq last month. It is probably beyond the "reasonably priced" range, but definitely logs a lot of info. It is packaged like a navigation unit with an OBD2 cable, and logs everything to a removable SD card. I have used it on my 2010 SS and a 2011 Challenger V6. Cool little gadget. Beats driving around with a laptop. It has some performance modes like 0-60 acceleration, 1/8 and 1/4 mile modes. I havent used any of those yet, but have logged a bunch of general stuff. It logs 16 pids plus whatever other gauge pids you are displaying. You can view the logs in Logworks, or csv formats for excel. I modify the csv files and read them with SCT's Live Link. Let me know if you want details.

check out the PLX gauges; they have a 2 1/16" that will fit in a guage pod or a 60mm that you can mount anywhere. You can also program these via a laptop. I'm running the DM-100 in one of my gauge pods.

Thx very much pyr0b0y, I'm looking at the DM-200 60mm now. Does the OBD cable polk your knee any? Or does it bring a right angel connector to prevent this?

bmorecam · 11-12-2011, 05:06 PM

PLX is cool but only read generic obd2 data, ultra gauge the same and no performance data or ability to actually log anything. Your best bet would be aeroforce or one of those apple or android apps such as torque for android and dynolicious for apple.
