Garmin Boost Gauge?

Akien · 11-05-2009, 02:29 PM

I wonder if it'll work with our cars. I'll get it for sure if it does

Since I have my Garmin out on the windshield all the time anyway.

The ESP module is a hideaway box that connects to (and is powered by) your vehicle's OBD-II diagnostics port. The device gathers information about your vehicle's performance and relays that info via a Bluetooth data connection to your Garmin Nuvi GPS device atop your dashboard.

What makes u think it can monitor boost pressure?

I don't know if it can or not that's why there is a "?" on the title. It looks like the display can display wide range of info. So if the ODB-II port does output the boost pressure then I don't see why not.

I see..interesting..it looks pretty cool...correct me if i'm wrong but this device is some type of add on to an already existing Nuvi nav device you have which allows it to monitor engine stuff? I would totally buy this if it can also monitor boost as i need a nav system (sort of). If i do get a nav system i'm going to make sure its a Garmin and compatible with this device
