Awesome dash for 1996 and newer engine swaps

Finally something I can give an expert opinion on! OK I was looking for ways to connect my complete magnum EFI gauges to my old dash. I found the most awesome dash ever! It's called Dash Commander. It's a tablet, smartphone, Personal computer app that uses a bluetooth adapter off of the ODBII port! It is so freaking sweet, using GPS, and all the other sensors in a phone or tablet it can do 1/4, 1/8, 100 ft., 60 ft, mileage, o2 sensors, MAF sensor readings and a ton more! Look up Dash Commander on google play or apps store. It also has hundreds of different dash styles, fits ANY 1996 or newer! Big time cool!

BTW the app costs $10, the bluetooth adapter (ELM 327) $20 on ebay, and if u wanna run a tablet most won't have GPS. Bluetooth GPS $9 on EBAY! $40 bucks for the coolest dash you will ever see. Mine is from Verizon so it provides a free WIFI hotspot like the newest GM cars are bragging about today!

50 year old car with wireless gauges, WIFI hotspot, Internet access, FULL NAV with Google maps (with GPS) and hell even play videos or games on the dash! With a standard earphone jack as audio out to stereo system. Oh yeah all diagnostic codes too!:cheers:

Sounds really cool, but for me the reason to mess with these old cars is the simplicity they provide. Its an outlet for me to get away from digital solid state everything, metric system etc. now i hear new cars are using multiplexing systems because of the weight of all the individual wires. No thank you thats just begging for trouble. I also prefer hand crank windows, real points or early electronic distributers (not a box of coils with wires to the plugs)

I work on commercial airliners for a living, most of the things inside them are complicated and have duplicity built in for safety. Most have built in test modes to help you trouble shoot a system problem. When i leave work i prefer the K.I.S.S. methodology when working on my cars.

Hey Jeff,
Was thinking of going this route too! How is this working out for you? Can it monitor fuel level (or do you have a separate guage for that?) Do you have any pics? Thanks!
