I did the DD BIM for OBD2 and it's a quick and easy way to wire your gauges. The only negative which is minor is when you're tuning the car with your laptop plugged into the OBD2 port you don't have any working gauges. Besides fuel level in my case.

I've been trying to read about this, and look at other builds on this site. Looks like even the high end ones are using this.

I've also looking at possibly using a splitter at the OBD II. Is that something you looked into?

Thanks,
Bill

I have not tried any kind of a splitter.

Use of a splitter is hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
