"Realtime" OBD2 gauge options (speed, RPM, temps, etc)?

Any others I should know about besides Ultra Gauge and Scan Gauge?

 

Not that I know of unless you want to get fancy with the Banks iDash.

 

Any OBD2-bluetooth module and mobile app will give you the OBD2 numbers in realtime.

Personally, I use a Kiwi3 dongle (due to its low power draw), and Dashcommand on Android.

 

You can upgrade your car stereo to a cheap Android unit. Then add a bluetooth dongle to the OBD2 port. Looks something like below.

The cheapest bluetooth dongle off Amazon, and Torque Pro app on your phone for 5$.

 

Before you purchase , make sure you can read some important data .

I went this route originally. Do not recommend. Those Android head units are... pretty crap.

Here's where I went to a Joying Android: Life changing magic of tidying up – or, “I hate my stereo”

...and here's where (and why) I dumped it: A Stereo that Just Works – Kenwood DMX906S

This is great. I'd seen people add this to their ScanGauge, but never to an app like Torque. Thanks for the pointer. (Though with a MT, doesn't apply to me, it's great to know for reference!)

 

I use an Edge CTS3 in my tow rig.

 

Does this provide real time trans temp?

 

Yes

 

I have a MT, so I don't know, since trans temps only apply to AT. You can program PIDs with DashCommand, so you should check out the link in @gearcruncher's post if you have an AT and see if that method works.

 

Sweet TY

 

This was Torque pro FYI, but I would think the other apps have it
