OBDI Digital Displays
I've seen people connecting old Android tablets to OBDII cars, but does something like that exist for an OBDI? Exploring inexpensive options to replace a gauge cluster with a tablet for a true digital display. Probably a stretch, I'm not a wiring genius either.

Check out ALDLdroid. I'm not sure what the refresh rate is for most of the Bluetooth adapters but a lot of the homebrew stuff I've seen is a little slow for a cluster replacement
I've been messing with OBDII over Bluetooth with a Raspberry Pi, using a Pi or Arduino makes it easier to add additional aftermarket sensors down the road: http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/...pspulbhyga.jpg http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/...psde37in4q.jpg OBDII is a lot more standardized and well documented but I'm sure it would be possible to do the same for OBDI |
Odb1 wont know fuel level, will it? Or oil psi?
My old otc scanner would return vss, cts, rpm. So those are there. So will your odb1 feed all the gauges? |

I'm sure with the right size display mounted on an ABS plastic backing where the old gauges would be, I could still run electric auto-meter gauges for some of those stand alone things like Fuel & Oil. I have plenty of real-estate to spare where the radio was or even in the vents, but I also don't want it looking like I'm in the cockpit of an airplane, the whole point is minimalism. |
Convert to ls pcm, obd2, and change some sensors :nod:

You will end up doing what you would do just run autometers in the panel area.
OBD1 is very limited. |
And most of the wiring for gauges is probably already there.

I would not trust stock senders any more than I trust stock gauges. Rip it all out, wire in new power to aftermarket gauges and use their harness/sending units. |
