Transcript
PSP can give you directions and even take pictures. Now it can display your car's gauges. So how do you set this up? I've developed this as part of the flock gauges I'm developing. You can connect independent sensors or use an OBD2 better, then you connect your PSP to the gauge's Wi Fi and launch the custom PSP game which displays your sensors. You can use the d pad to switch through which sensor you want to display, and this is all using an open API called Chirp. So anyone can build a new client like this, could be on a 3DS, or anything else that has Wi Fi. Comment PSP for the download link.
