i was just wondering, with HP tuners can you program the information display on the dash to display other things? Like boost, RPM, Oil temp, Knock retard, and all the other stuff OBDII computers can read?

 

unfortunately you cant though im sure someone can get hptuners to take a look to see if can be done but thats highly unlikley

 

You can't mess with it unfortunately. Though that would be one SWEET MOD!

 

sorry to hijack thread but i would also like to know this , and i have a second question , you guys know in fast in the furious one when paul walker was racing his first race against ja rule and vin diesel when he "almost blew the welds on the intake manifold" do you remember that in dash dvd player he had with the touch screen well he had some engine monitoring **** on there is there ANY way to do this with a cobalt i just think it would be pimp as hell

 

Yes there is a way. You have to get an in dash PC, and then run HP tuners through it. Costs about $1000 plus hp tuners.

 

there are some applications that will monitor stuff like that digimoto was one of them ... 4 simultanious scans can be done though I am not sure if the cobalt will accept it. The interface shown in the movie is obviously a moc up but im sure if someone really wanted to they could rewrite the interface to be more stylish or even user friendly

 

Can noone see my posts!

 

that would be a cool feature....I wonder how GM adds all the menu's for stage 3 through the programming? I know the sky's went started will say "SKY" when the screen first turns on.

 

That would be nice

 

that would be SO SWEET , like i think that would by far be the coolest thing you could do to your cobalt

 

i have a buddy with digimoto2 I will try and see what we can and cant see

 

is this what u want

i know its not for the cobalt but thats close enough

 

That would be neat to be in control of what the info screen says, ide like to see the SS/SC guys pioneer this so when 2.2 tuning gets here we can steal it!!

 

actually, there are a few different options. HPTuners plus an in car computer is one. Then again, I believe that some in dash navigation units, like the avic line can support car monitoring stuff. There is another, I just can't find the site...either way, that **** is esxpensive.

For the original question, no, you can't do it with HPTuners....I wish though.

 

would this work on our car or just imports its not that expensive if we can find one for the cobalt im all on this

bump

 

I don't see why not. I'd email them and ask to be sure.

 

Have you guys ever seen when people turn the gameboy sp into a boost gauge. Can we do that? My friend has it in his WRX.

 

wow never heard of that...pics?

 

yes there are pleanty of devices that can plug into OBDII computers and read pretty much every engine paramter. Ive even seen them the since of a 2 inch guage that fits in the guage pod. Ive seen lots of DVD touch screens that can read OBDII as well as the gameboy feature that can do it as well.

I just think it would be so much sweeter if you could program the cobalts display panel to read things, that way you get the nice clean factory look as apposed to the aftermarket look that is never as clean.

 

HAHA please retract that statement

and how did you dyno 235 hp stock thats quite a bit

 

Factory freak? Heres my dyno of my stock 06 SS/SC w/G85

Btw does anyone know why i get that dip in my hp at like 2500

 

that would be sweet!

 

something slipping? maybe thats whats causing it.
