I read about some guys w/ 03 Cobras doing it testing a newer cooler, reading real time temps on the odometer/trip meter display, not sure if it was part of the chip programming or what. I can look, sorry not too much help but I know it can be done. JDM and some guys are doin it. FYI

I have an Autotap that I use with my laptop. It can monitor all vital functions.

Just went and tried that dealership diagnostic trick with my Stang. Pretty cool! Too bad it doesn't stay in the diag mode after shutting the car off. But it does give me something else to look at for the short jaunt to work and back. Will try it out tomorrow.

TwEECer R/T is another option. tweecer.com

That's pretty expensive and a lot more than a monitor and it's only for the EEC computers. He didn't say what car, if it's an OBD2 then here is one a friend of mine has and I used it on my Murano for a week or so...
