Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I'm working on a similar project that will greatly improve the dash view in particular to tailor it towards a car-computer/tablet type application to use as live gauges. I want to implement functionality to really monitor the car with things like visual/audio warnings for knock and other issues.
So far it looks something like this:

For one I'm using a library for proper gauges (radial, linear, and text indicators) called SteelSeries and I'm adding the ability to fully customize each guage (based on the parameter number so it's always saved for that type of gauge) including size, type, color, background and frame stuff, adding a warning led, and of course the position of that gauge.
My build also favors the logger by default, and it will allow the dash view to flip between full screen and normal view (for configuration mostly).
I wonder if we could blend efforts? Never worked with someone but it sounds like we're trying to do the same thing.
