OBD-II readings on a car computer?
I am putting a computer in my car for mp3/dvd/gps use. I hear I can also get obd readings as well. Anyone have experience with this and want to shed some light on how someone would go about doing this?

thanks.
So it looks like I install the software and connect to the obd interface via a serial connection. I will already be using my only serial port on the pc but I can get an adapter to make it usb or just plug it in when I need to check the diagnostics.

Let's see some pics of the install when you do it!
