From what I read you can get a handful of things from the baseline (low level?) CAN protocol. Other stuff gets complicated from there and differs widely from manufacturer to manufacturer.
I'd also love to use SSM II/III, but don't want to jump right into that right away.
For now being able to get basic OBD II stuff will be nice. Being able to get the special toyota oil temp PID working would be great. Remember that originally this family of projects and code was intended to use external sensors for things that one couldn't get off of obd II, because stuff like the torque app already exist.
I started to look into OBD II because someone suggested it, it isn't terribly expensive, and the "starter" code is already written. Also, I don't like my phone flying at my face because I did a crap job of mounting it before and autox.
