This is at the idea stage, some may say fantasy stage!
I've an old 486 laptop PC that has no real value [just saw one go on ebay for £5 - to think I paid £1200 for it 10 years ago :-( ]- Anyway, I was thinking could I use it to create my own DIS? The first issue is how to get info out of the on-board computer, presumably via the VAG port, so some questions on that:
1. Does this provide info in real-time whilst the vehicle is moving?
2. Is there an interface specification?
3. Will it provide info on distance travelled and fuel consumption?
Anyone know the answers or where to find them?
Alternatively maybe the PC can drive a webcam and record anyone deliberately raming me http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6248515.stm
