I stopped by a high school buddy's place while down in Daytona. He was picking my brain about his diesel motor home. I really don't have any idea, so I'll throw it out here and a few other places and hope for some good leads. He has a Sprinter with a turbocharged diesel. On the trip back to Massachusetts, he had a bit of a malfunction with ducting from the turbo. He asked me if there was any place where he could get a set up that puts gauges on his dash so that he can monitor everything. Oil pressure, coolant temp, charging, boost, etc. It sounds like an ambitious project to me, but any leads would be appreciated.
Bluetooth OBD reader and corresponding app on the phone. I use OBDlink if he wants to see a lot of values simultaneously, go tablet size
Torque is a great app available on Android. Unlimited layout possibilities. You need to also buy an OBDII scanner.
Agree with everyone else. Bluetooth OBDII device with Android app called Car Scanner Pro. Very similar to Torque app where you can create your own dashboard except with this you have the ability to create a variety of text sizes and colors for your guage.
I’d use Banks, personally. https://bankspower.com/products/electronic-gauge-66562-all-2008-obdii-can-bus-vehicles
AEM CD-7. Will need to tap into the CAN bus on the OBDII connector and figure out the CAN messages, the rabbit hole should keep him busy for a while but very doable.
ScanGauge2. Plug and play and no phone apps required. Plugs onto OBD and you can change what parameters you want displayed
This. I have a ScanGauge hooked up in my Sprinters full time. With the latest software they can show anything you want them to.
Are any of you guys aware of an OBDII port "tee fitting" ? My OBD is currently taken with amp research running boards, which deploy when a door opens. But I want to use one of these gauge apps too.... Well that was easy: https://bankspower.com/products/sen...UNiXfG2-FLJFLpV6hDP5SnoayY57arxRoC7aMQAvD_BwE
Just checking, but what year is his Sprinter? I have a 2019 and all that information can be seen on the "Performance" section of the display in the center console. But if not, then definitely an OBD2 scan tool and app would be perfect.
I have a splitter for my audi, got a P3 gauge in the vent, however, i can read some codes through it but when i start changes or procedures through my other software (vcds) i am better iff directly than through the splitter
yeah i get if i was going to be installing a tune or making adjustments, pull the splitter and go direct. but just to read values AND keep the power running boards going while normally driving would be nice.
