Default Scanner that displays readings....

Is there some kind of scanner that can plug into the OBD port that will display the intake temperature, coolant temp, etc?

I don't want to change or modify anything, but just get real time readings.

I just bought the otc 3111 pro and am very happy with it. Does a whole lot for the price. Very easy to use Actron is the maker and offers the same unit for a few dollars less under their own name, but I prefer OTC.

Not sure on all the pin outs on the C5 OBD port, but on the C6 you can read those with the GoPoint Technology BT1. You need a Bluetooth device to connect with to display the graphs in real time. (They have a hard wired version as well.) I use it with an iPhone to capture engine data for video overlays on track days.

You can get an ELM obd device, and an app for your smartphone that can do it.

If you wanted to record the readings and view later, you could use EFILive V2 " Scan Only" and record to the internal memory or an SD card.

Just a thought....
