Do any aftermarket radio/nav systems offer gauges ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Given we have the screen it would be great if the head unit offered the ability to read the engine parameters like the scan gauge . Has anyone developed
An aftermarket head unit that does this?

I think some Kenwood Excelon head units do this, but only their top of the line model (~ $1400 on amazon + price of OBD adaptor).

edit: Actually I can only find info that last years top of the line had it (DNX9980HD). Apparently it isn't that cool.

pretty sure some of the pioneer double dins have this option.
If I were you Id pick up a cheap 7 inch android tablet and get a bluetooth adaptor and call it a day
ill post pics of myself up in my IS300 to give you an idea

Something like this, but better would be cool.

something like this would set you back 300 (Galaxy tab bluetooth adapter and car mount)

^ wow I would love to have my HTC Flyer set up on the FRS... we could have it connected to OBDII with bluetooth & then run gauges + music + navigation.

Where would mounting be best though... hm.

Theres an awesome app for android called torque which when paired with an OBDII adapter offers all of the on-board info you could want. Theres another one which is even better, forgot the name but costs 40$ but well worth it. Only issue is you need your phone or tablet on display to view ut- which is a huge bummer compared to the GTR style system which is now years old...its a shame that couldnt be integrated along with NAV... instead its more social media bull shit? In a driver's car? Really?
Scion designed that system for kids... well thats what scion is for...why didnt we get the Toyota! Hah.
Theres my rant....

the Pioneer AppRadio 2 is compatible with the DashCommand app but the headunit is like 600 dollars plus you have to buy a 200 dollar OBD2Link... expensive for sure, but super cool

I was thinking about pushing the stock radio further in and fabing something removable like a dock for the flyer

There are also companies that make oBDII digital gauge systems that will work with any head unit screen that has a standard video input.
