:( I was blindly hoping it would work. I want a live telemetry feed to my iPhone app.

Clearly the lude does spit out some sort of data, as there are tools for sale on here that can read that data.

I wonder if they could be persuaded to create something to convert the feed they get into something OBDII compatible?

I have seen that but it doesnt fit the bill for me. I have a telemetry app for my phone which overlays the data on the video. The app can overlay even more data if it is plugged into the OBDII port.

That's the thing I meant though, if the guys behind that could instead make a translator to convert the signals to OBDII - that would rock!
