oil temp pressure, etc AND lap timer on a head unit

[mokinbird87]

I`ve been researching and found out that idatalink maestro will display obdii info on an aftermarket head unit. I was a bit concerned about doing something like a dashcommand + bluetooth obdii connector since it seems the connection can be a bit sketchy at times and I dont want to manually turn it on and off every time (or leave it on because i dont want to drain my shorai battery), hence the choice to do idatalink maestro. refresh rate also seemed not too good...

however the idatalink maestro does not have a lap timer..

i guess my question is, is there an app that does both the lap times AND vital info from obdii like oil temp, pressure, and water temp? I do not want to get external gauges. I prefer a solution on a head unit.

There isn't presently a way to read oil pressure from the CAN bus. You'd have to install a sensor and a module to put the info onto the bus, so the head unit can retreve it.

Torque does read GPS, but I don't know if it has lap timers, or if it's just used for 0-60 and 1/4 mile times.

so far it seems like harry`s lap timer is pretty ideal but i still have to use an external obdii sensor idatalink allows obdii info without having to plug anything since it`s hardwired.. ahhh i want OEM level of integration..

You could pick up an obd2 port spliter, or hard wire a second port, and use that.

Or, someone said there is CAN hi and low behind the stereo, but I got lazy and didn't dig into it to see where. But that's all the elm327 chip, that's in most of the standard cables and bluetooth dongles, uses.

It will read the oil temp off of those 2 can bus on the obd2 ports correct?

Yes.
