One thing I would add would be monitoring for the erro codes and other less visible information like engine temperature. Also personally I would not put speed and RPM since the car I drive already has it on the gage cluster.

I'd add approximate gas consumption combining the data from the rpm, motor load, speed, and past mileage history. You could also collect your driving data every 5 seconds or so, export it after each day and use it to do big data analysis (useful graphs, data on best hours to go to particular places based on gas consumption, driver recognition/mood estimation based on driving style with machine learning classification,...)

For a better interface you can design a webpage and host it using flask. Flask is very easy. The difficult part would be designing a dynamic webpage using JavaScript. But if you have any experience with web design, this would make it easily expandable and more versatile. You can ask your community to design a template for you if you aren't experienced in web design yourself. Loving this project so far. Waiting for the next installment.

Sub'd. Jeeze. Why am I just seeing this now? This is pretty cool, really great work! Being a classic BMW nut, for ODB2 stuff, we tend to use the now archaic INPA software -- which kinda sucks by today's standards. While it provides great info, it's archaic/windows dependent, and the translations are terrible. I'm gonna take what I learned here (and in video 3), install Grafana on the Pi, then see if I can't simply pump these dynamic values into Grafana for an easier gauge like display of all the car's critical data points. Like, IAT, fuel trims, o2 readings, etc. Thanks again for the inspiration.

My car doesn't have approximate fuel range, so I would add that to the screen. All you would need to know is your car's tank capacity, and the mpg your car gets at certain speeds. Then just have it average your speed, take that value against the mpg chart, and read the gas level. I assume gas in cars is not mechanical, since it goes all the way down when the car is off... but I don't know.

For load (I’d assume that’s throttle position?) I would have it as a bar like in the new civic SI. I wouldn’t have the speed but instead a boost gauge (although I don’t think your corolla has much boost 😁.). And definitely an alert window that would notify you of an engine code. Maybe another window for lateral Gs and/or. A 0-60 timer. Anyway could this setup be used for changing some properties of the car??

Although I think I come late to the party, I think I still can add my two cents. Maybe you could also show the fuel consumption together with a price of one trip... You'd have some button which would reset the counter and some input which would allow you to enter the price per gallon. That would be pretty cool I think! ;-)
