Engine monitor digital guages

[Midnite.Rambler]

I have been looking at engine monitors that plug in to the ODB2 port; read the data; and present it on digital gauges. The gauges are on an included touch screen (usually in the 5" to 6" size). The prices range from $50 to $500. Has anyone purchased one of these? Are you satisfied with the info displays?

I have a generic bluetooth obd2 port scanner and the app "torque pro" which was less than 5 bucks and I find the data it displays interesting but nothing worth monitoring for what and how I drive. I wouldn't waste your money on what you posted.

Too much information for me. Especially owning a hybrid.
I did used a Bluetooth OBD, with an old cell phone and Torque Pro on all my other non-hybrid vehicles. I found it very handy.
Total cost -$25

I like your idea. If only there was a small, useless, unused space to put something in...
I have a cheap ODB2 reader a mini cellphone and Car Scanner ELM app.
Not loving the mounting. It's a work in progress. I plan to 3D print a nicer one

1st. Prototype. Proof of concept
Nothing wrong with that.

Does anyone know if the "Torque Pro" app has ability for hybrid battery monitoring?

I picked up a Scanguage 3 from Advance auto parts for $220 with a discount code. Awesome for monitoring engine/trans vitals while driving, off roading and towing. I was using a phone app but it was a pain in the ass setting it up sometimes and getting it to communicate with a BT adapter.

CarScanner Pro. $6.99
More than I need to know, with no where to put it.
