Wayne -
Let us know if you do this. My concern, born out of ignorance, would how to find out the format of the data that circulates over the OBDII bus. I don't know anything about the format, and I don't know if it is standard from one manufacturer to another.
I think that the signalling format has finally standardized. There used to be several busses - CAN bus, ISO bus, PWM bus, etc. I'm not sure what the standard is, but at least hardware interfacing will be simpler now.
Let us know!

[Edit - In looking up bus names, I ran across this site that ought to help.
