Here's a couple pictures of how my Dashcommand looks in the car (apologies for the glare, they were quick and dirty photos):







This is the default skin for Dashcommand. It has features such as data logging, and the ability to read additional data such as boost pressure, air/fuel, EGT, etc. by purchasing additional hardware that links a sensor to the computer.

Concerning running it on the factory nav, theDreamer is correct. You will need a converter type module. There are very few, such as the ones from this website:

Car Video Interfaces. MOST Adapters. GVIF

And, they are limited in vehicle compatibility, but you may have to pour through wiring diagrams and see if it is possible to trick the monitor into accepting that signal. I think Magden figured out a way to do that, but like I said, they are no more.

Also! I just remembered that Blitz made a similar product to the HKS Camp 2, called the R-Vit DS:

GTM Motorsports*::*ELECTRONICS*::*BLITZ R-Vit DS VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM
(found it for sale on GTM, so you could probably give them a call or something)

That seems to work similar to what you want.

You don't need to buy an expensive car PC. Just buy a used tablet off ebay or CL. Then download the dashcommand app and install it in your cubby if you don't have nav. I did this all for $100!!

All you need is a cheap tablet (that fits). I went with an older (2011) style since it never is going to be taken out of the car pretty much. Get the $25 obdII Bluetooth reader and some magnets. DONE!

Carefull about 2 things. Buy neodydmium magnets as the ceramic ones from home depot aren't strong enough..learned that the hard way. Also, make sure the tablet you buy is Open Source or you wont be able to get dash command. Kindle, nook and those media based tablets don't have the app. accessible.

Lets just say I was looking at spending around $600 to get what I got for $100 and now I also have the capabilities of google maps to see where traffic is and can order a movie online and watch it on a road trip.
