[QUOTE="Megalomaniac, post: 3310093, member: 564825"] it can be done, and i think it has been done. However usin odbII will result in bottlenecking from what i read. its not that the software cant read it fast enough, its the ecu trying to read multiple variables. Another question you should ask is :*taken from mp3car "Obviously, getting the data from the OBDII connection should be the easiest route. But how can you "plug into" this full time while still making the connector available to run diagnostics? In other words, how can you "tap" the data full time and still be able to plug in or use another tool for diagnosis? Since there is only one connection, is some sort of "pass through" adapter available?" answer: "OBD-II is a network and multiple nodes are allowed. DrewTech sells a 2-way splitter. You could accomplish the same thing yourself with several hours of soldering. You'd still need to ensure that your scantools aren't trying to use the same tester address, but most networks have 8 reserved addresses available.
