Just gonna install HKS CAMP II and display it on my LCD screen
I hate after market gauges on the dash... looks too ricey, and unless you have your engine fully tuned, there are no point of having gauges

there is a point in having gauges when you run full throttle on and off at the track for some time.

Not sure if OBDII has oil pressure though.

This can be done with Pioneer head units that that have AppRadion function. The DashCommand app can pull OBDII data and display it through the head unit display. Oil pressure will display as long as the cars OBD port provides it which most do.

I'm really hoping since BeSpoke and and the Subaru Aha Radio head units are said to be made by Pioneer that they will support AppRadio.

I think this is the ticket.

We already know the ECU has significant sensory functions, because of the GT5 upload confirmation, among other features. It's only a matter of time before someone creates some sort of interface/app that allows us to tap into those parameters and display on the headunit.

Unless of course you want information on what the engine is doing. Oil temp and Oil Pressure are invaluable IMO. I've pulled off track after my oil temps have hit over 315 degrees to let the car cool before, something I would not have done without that information presented to me via the gauge.

I actually don't want it in the HU. I like checking all of my gauges in a single glance, which requires them to all be close to each other..

any aftermarket gauges similar to your ITR gauges for sale yet? i really like the placement. straight dead center and you dont need to move your head while tracking your car.

Always been a fan of steering wheel pods! Looks very clean and subtle
