Is anyone using a OBD2 or GPS heads up display for their TJ. I'm always curious about more data that I can view beyond what's on the dash (I know, I'm probably just looking for more gadgets to burn a hole in my pockets 🤑).
 
I had a cheap GPS HUD but honestly, I rarely plug it in anymore. I found the HUD kind of hard to see and not really that useful.

I now have an old iPhone (8 plus) mounted right above my dash that flips between OBD Fusion and Gaia GPS.
 
I tried to use the stand alone HUDs without success. They would not sync up in my Jeep…

I ended up downloading the OBD Fusion App and pairing that with the Veepeak BLE+ Bluetooth obd2 scanner/reader. It has worked flawlessly. I use my iPhone or iPad as the display…

Thanks, that sounds workable! I have some old phones laying around.

Methinks you don't know what an F-35 is since you thought I was serious. 🤣

Some examples of the OBD Fusion App and a few “gauges” I set up for myself. 100% customizable…

These two are the exact reason I even started down this path. I wanted to see exactly what the computer was seeing. I have this as it’s own screen…
 
What, no G-meter, EGT, or rate of climb indicator?
There are similar configurations to those that can be set up as well (acceleration/feet per second/etc…)…

My goal was for tuning and diagnostic purposes. Extremely helpful and works like a charm…

That’s one nice thing about doing it with an old phone or tablet, toggling between Apps. OBD Fusion and Gaia are my main two at the moment…
 
Does the OBD2 device shut down when the car is off? In theory I could use that to automate waking and sleeping the phone screen
Yes it does…

The fact it can be used as a code reader as well is another nice bonus. Very handy add-on…
