Ive got an idea, put a monitor in place of your guages, and use this software and output to that monitor. this way thats now your tach, speedo, and whatever else you choose to have. not sure its been done yet.

I'm prototyping my own CarPC, which this will become a part of.
What's already in the plans and semi-working is iPod integration (blows any headunit ipod integration clear out of the water), as well as XM-Radio.
Once I've got that working in the lab, it'll all be put into a PC, and mounted in the car.

I'll keep you posted
I can't wait. I've been wanting to do that for a long time now.

What happens when Windows BSOD's? http://racergeeks.com/showthread.php?t=975 I want to ask this guy what happens when his car BSOD's, but I don't speak German.

Well, it certainly can be done, but sourcing a display for that would be crazy expensive. Also, I doubt it would be legal.

Absolutely doable for the wideband. I'm guessing boost as well, as long as you have some kind of electrical sensor for it. However, I'm all NA, so I haven't got boost or a wideband unfortunately.
