While true, I use my OBD-II port for two things:
1) Pivot gauge reading oil temp and coolant temp
2) AIM Solo DL configured to read 4 parameters: real-time lap temp, delta vs best previous lap time, coolant temp, and oil temp

The "when time matters" part is ESPECIALLY important to have AIM Solo or other real-time timing in place to help monitor lap times. I can't say how many people have the regular vs DL, but when I'm trying to push a personal best it's very useful to know which parts of the track I'm slower at in real time instead of downloading data in the pits.

As mentioned already, a Y-splitter won't work. I bought one and now have a $20 paperweight in my garage.

The pedal dance takes me about 10 seconds to do, 5 if I'm fast. YMMV.
