Hey all,
We're putting together a 2006 Mini Cooper S and I'm getting all the data components together.

Right now I've got a RCP MKII, the legacy OBDII adapter and have ordered the ShiftX3.

We're going to set up a Raspberry Pi and the RPi 7" display as our primary dashboard display showing basic gauges and such.

What I'm wondering is if I need to plan for a separate OBDII code reader to get any CEL fault codes, or if RCP's OBDII integration can read and display these codes. Would be handy if so, so I don't have to disconnect and reconnect the the RCP just to read codes.

Also, if anyone has specific tips or pointers for the R53 Mini I'll take those too.

Thanks.

We have a few OBDII examples here that you might find interesting. They could be adapted to set a value to a virtual channel if you wanted to:

Hope this helps, let us know what you end up figuring out!
