I followed Sean W's write-up, it's here:

Since Camp2 units are almost unobtainium, it may be problematic to go that route nowadays.

‘Almost’ is the key word, as there are 3 on eBay right now, although only one is complete (the other two are missing the remote, and one of them is also missing some of the wiring (although, for only $150, I might consider adding it to my ‘spares’ shelf)).
Additional units continue to pop up occasionally, but it is one of the more expensive methods of getting the info displayed.

Got a china-thingy making HUD of temp, speed or voltage. Need central screen for GPS. Works fine

If you're not a gauge obsessive then TorquePro on an android phone with Cambo's tweak is a low cost option to view any readings. In this selection I was interested in temperatures and oil volume:





It also reads powertrain DTC's which makes it a very useful tool to carry around.

I really like the ScanGauge 2 option, it sits right on the steering column and the cord runs under the dash unseen. I can choose dozens of parameters to display and I can also check and clear codes without changing anything,

It's a PID (On-board diagnostics Parameter ID) imported to the standard TorquePro app to add several extras gauges. It's copyright so I'm not going to post it here but PM Cambo (Moderator) for further details.

Only 3 posts to go for full forum access. However, newbies can PM a moderator regardless of post count.

TorquePro is for android. I use iPhone but also have an android just for TorquePro.

Unless I'm missing something, Cambo's already shared that info but the custom PID's only apply to 2010 onward. Still Torque Pro is a good solution.
