ScanGuage Guages you'd like to see?

[MFNATIK]

I'm currently working with the folks at ScanGuage to data log and develop some custom gauges for our cars. So far I've only asked them to develop the oil tem and trans oil temp gauges. What else would you guys like to see a gauge for besides the standard ambient intake air temp, water temp, boost, volts, instantaneous mpgs, etc.

I was thinking turbo rpms might be cool but not sure what else would be useful to know on/off the track.

Whatever suggestions I get from here I will share with the engineers so they can program it for the gauge and make it available to everyone.

TIA!

Ethanol % would be nice but I'm not sure they'd be able to get that

Ok, maybe fuel in gallon's remaining as well? That sounds nice to have

My buddy has a Scangauge in his M235i. It looks really shitty and just does the basic OBD data. It kept falling off its mount and display was laggy especially in winter. I'd personally never mount that in my M4 interior. Check this out: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1343400.

I'm curious if you are you being paid by the bootmod guys to spam the forums with their (IMO inferior) product? Or to wear that avatar under your name? Why would anyone that is looking for oil temp go off and void their warranty to load an ECU tune for visuals? Before I clicked on the link I thought you were showing him the Awron/P3 gauge which would be comparable.

At any rate, the OP was asking for SUGGESTIONS to give the manufacturer so that it can do more than "just basic OBD data" on our platform.

Yeah I'm paid off. Come on. You can't tell me that scangauge looks good. Awron is so nice but its 2 grand! You could buy an extra ECU for that! I just thought maybe if enough demand bm3 guys would open the gauges portion on its own so anyone can use it regardless if you unlock nad get tuned or not.

Awron isn't $2K, please get your facts right before posting. Pricing can be clearly be seen on our website.

Every damn post from this guy is "Bootmod3" this and that. Sometimes when he even references them, there isn't even correlation to original topic lol.

So back on topic.....

In addition to what you have listed:

1. AFR (especially if the stock ECU uses a wide band O2 sensor which is common in OEM turbo applications)
2. Heat Exchanger inlet & outlet coolant temps (to see how well the HX is performing and cooling the intake charge)
3. Intake air charge temp (different than ambient outside air temp)
4. Radiator inlet and outlet temp (radiator inlet is also called Coolant Temp)

Basically, any engine or transmission parameter is fair game. Any fluid/oil temp is fair game. And any parameters associated with the high tech electronic differential in this car would be good. Lastly, if you can pull any data from the adaptive suspension system (I don't know what is available though) would be good too. The more data the better, the user can always turn off what he does not want to see or log.

As far as layout for the gauges, the sky is the limit, especially with the "phablets" available on the market now that you can suction cup to your windshield to see gauges. Of course, if you really wanted be "baller" if you could figure a way to show this data on the iDrive screen.....damn .

Below is a track I vid I made not too long ago with data that I was interested in seeing with my supercharged E46 M3 track car. The F80 has even more data I would be interested in getting access to, and it is already in the car (no aftermarket sensors required).

These are great suggestions. I will include your feedback. I just got the data logger and will be completing that and sending it back tomorrow. Hope to have some good news soon.

Quick update. Looks like they're gonna dig deeper into the data next week and start development of those custom gauges.
