Wow, like inside a fighter jet! I would be so distracted on what I’m trying to monitor.
Great execution and the most high tech C7 I’ve seen. Would love to see this in person.
Nice job, enjoy.

thank you! It's not going to be like i have my my eyes locked at the screens. It's there to keep track of the parameters and make sure the car is running correct for the tune. After a while you get used to it.

thanks! It's really an easy setup and very affordable. The dashcommand app was $10. The elm327 OBDII Bluetooth reader is $20 and the vent mount is $15. so for less than $50 you can customize your display to show readings and data suitable to ever individual build and tune.

plus u don't need to drill or install pods everywhere. No running of wires for aftermarket gauges. Looks more like a sleeper when the car is off. Ppl just think it's a phone sitting on the mount. And it can all be removed back to stock in less than 30 seconds.

so how it works is.. you purchase a ELM327 OBDII reader and plug it in to your obd port. It will always stay plugged in. As soon as u start your car it connects to your device via Bluetooth. All the information is collected by all the sensors equipt in the car already, the same way a tuner plugs in a OBD II wire and tunes the car thru HP Tuners. The car will send all the car info to your display. In my case i am using my phone with a phone mount in the air vent. Eventually I will probably buy a smaller ipad. Plus the ODBII tool with the DashCommand app lets you clear check lights, data log, and much more. You will have every piece of info and data you will ever need to know about your cars operating system.

Here are some picture I used to screen shot off my phone while the app is open. The picture were taken when I was NOT connected to my car, that's why all the values are 0 and nothing is displayed.






Different dash mount displays can be downloaded and customized. The pictures above that i uploaded is what I use as my setup.


The pictures below show the default DashCommand setup that can be used.

Hmmmm. Looks nice. I was thinking I could uses my live streaming from my Navtool and have it display on the NAV screen like it was built in! Just another way to spend money! This site keeps my wallet empty!

Yeah you can do that too and screen mirror it on to the navigation screen. I wish I could do that..but the 2014 model doesn't have that capability.

That looks great. If only GM (and other manufacturers) would open up that nice built in 8 inch display so we could add this stuff directly to the car.
