scantool.net is the place to be. It's not quite as simple as an OBD to serial cable. There needs to be some brains in between to translate the signals, but you can buy everything you need from scantool.net for under $100.
Their software is OK but not great, but the cool thing is that you can write you own to do whatever you want.'02 Black Protege5

Do you think the sampling rate will be adequate to display lifelike gauges?'02 Black Protege5
