So I’m tired of carrying my laptop around to monitor my parameters and want something more compact. Aeroforce is having an issue getting their stuff and said they’re a couple months out. Is there anything else out there worth purchasing? I took a look at the nGauge but they seem to be having some issues also.

Dashlogic is a decent option as well. Displays information to the DIC.

I like my computer. Keeps random dudes from hopping into the passenger seat at stop lights.

At first I thought it was the Unicorn love - but they kept commenting on my sexy thighs, so...

Random I said do you want some fries when I randomly hopped in at the stoplight. Nothing about your thighs. And you also promised not to say anything

But yeah I use a dash logic that I bought off another member and it’s been awesome. No regrets.

I use Torque with a OBD dongle, running on my "Tesla style" aftermarket Android head unit. Works great. 10" display in the center stack has plenty of room for things to display, and no matter how violently I drive the car it doesn't go anywhere because it's built-in. :)

I use banks gauge. It’s perfect. Has a better display than aeroforce.
I use Banks in my Camaro too. Its got a good readout and monitors over 300 parameters. I got the logger version.

I ordered my Aeroforce gauge from these guys last week, even came in with the v faceplate. The only downside is I paid $320 because they had it I stock when no one else does. They had 5 left when I ordered mine.

Damn I wish I had seen that, I ordered the Banks gauge, it should be here by tomorrow. I was really looking at the Aeroforce because I like the V plate.

Laptop+AC inverter is the best option me thinks. You can tweak things whenever you need/want, unlike the alternatives.
I agree laptop, I don't have the laser eye sight anymore or patience to toggle through menus to monitor readings on a small gauge. No right or wrong, everyone has a preference. ;)

I use an Edge CTS3 monitor in my LBZ Duramax. Is there a reason why they aren't used more in the CTSV's?. I have the Aeroforce gauge and can barely read the tiny numbers while accelerating. Kittyboys setup seems ideal but I do occasionally have passengers.

You should be able to you one of those as it also reads via the OBDII port. The pid’s just might be tailored more towards diesel parameters. I used a Diablo Sport without installing any tunes for a long time but finally wanted more info then it could provide and also have a cleaner, built in look.

Laptops are clearly the best and the only way to make changes! The issues come down to space requirements and possible theft if

The Tesla style head unit is clearly the best and only way. It takes up zero additional space, and it's permanently installed, and it's not really a theft target anyway.

I thought I had a picture of it with Torque actually running, but I can't find one... This is the boot screen when it starts up.

That's a pretty serious looking setup!

Bitches ride in the back, I take it?
