Some cars dont output the vacuum data through the OBDII, so my scanguage doesnt have it. Im looking for a vacuum gauge. And you can have a digital gauge with an analog display BTW... Then you have your accuracy and recording, but a traditional display with the ability to judge relative position, and patterns.

I really want to add an indicator in my car to tell me when the car has entered/left closed loop mode... as it's nowhere near as efficient before this.

I don't have one (yet), so someone who does can confirm, but doesn't the Ultraguage do this already?

One thing I would like that I haven't seen on any available gauges is a gear indicator (for AT cars) to tell you what gear your car is in, when it is shifting, etc. That would be quite handy for discovering at what speed your car switches to the highest gear, etc.

Settable audio tone, (e.g. when "target driving" - aka DWL - to a specific instantaneous fuel consumption rate) that sounds/changes as you start to approach/drop below your target
This is a feature in gliders, where the "vario" gauge often outputs current vertical speed in audio form, making it almost instinctive to recognize variations in lift.
