I've been working on this for a few days. I wanted some more gauges for the SHO but didn't want them to stick out. After seeing some other torque threads I decided that was the way to go.  So after some research I purchased a non working android phone for cheap. I then picked up a Bluetooth obd plug and the torque app and started working.

This is what I ended up with.

I decided I didn't need a sunglass holder and it would allow me to hide the gauges anytime I wanted. This also allows me to monitor and record any parameters I want to for future tuning.

There is no wiring. The phone communicates w the car via the bluetooth adapter and since all of the radio's are off expect the Bluetooth the battery lasts a good week. When it gets low I just plug in my cellphone charger

Man. You must be using a good phone for it to last a week. I use an old LG revolution that is mounted on my windshield using an old garmin mount and some double sided tape.
