Has anyone used this instead of putting gauges in ?

Its a phone app for monitoring your engine.

definitely looks interesting and pricey too, will look at again when it's not 50 degrees in MI!

Wow! Could you imagine putting a photorefractive screen on your windshield with a mini projector for a science fiction looking heads up display? Thanks for the link, no I'll be on another tangent for a while.

I like your idea. I have a HUD that I use as a speedometer. I find the windshield reflects it well enough except when driving into the direct sun.  Dont know about an Iphone though

The OEM HUD windshields have a special "dull" spot where the projector shines on the glass, for best resolution.  Would be easy to do an aux mount for the phone, though.

 

What does it take to get the sensors "talking"?  Just curious.  Demos?

One reads RPM / Dwell from the coil, there is a vacuum T to measure your vacuum, a board you slide in your radiator to measure Temp and a electrical connection to the oil pressure sender.

All these connect to a little black box you mount of the firewall that talks (using bluetooth I Imagine) to your phone.

 

I wonder what happens when the phone ring as m,y phone use bluetooth to talk to my car ?
