Ok so I am a computer software geek. I have been creating mobile (12V)computer applications in a completely different market. But the idea of adding software to my 914 is really inspiring me. I would love to be able to get OBDII type info from 914 analog sensors installed on stock instrumentation, FI systems and cool third party user components (analog or digital).
So who is doing this? Or is my wife correct... Who cares! Regards, James |

This might be a dead thread, but I'm looking at a PICO ITX on board computer to integrate with the 95 993 3.6 I'm putting in my teener. I also plan on integrating all the other goodies like GPS navigation and entertainment radio in the on board computer. I figure with the limited dash space on a 914 that having a software driven interface would allow me to have any engine data I want at a touch of a... well touch screen.
You can buy a retractable touch screen system that would fit in the radio hole (if it's been cut out) for around $150 --> $500 depending on what you want. You can put an Pico ITX computer together for around $300 or so. My biggest hurdle will be comming up with the software to talk to the OBD-I Motronic unit. The 993 units use a non-standard code format as well. I'm currently investigating going to a 96+ OBD-II unit. I hear most 993 guys are trying to go the other way because the 95 OBD-I unit is chipable but the 96+ OBD-II units have the EEPROM's soldered directly into the boards. Got to go open presents! bye bye |
