Built a plug-and-play live dashboard for my CBR600RR after reverse engineering Honda’s ECU
Hey everyone,
For the past year I've been reverse engineering the factory Honda ECU on my own 2006 CBR600RR as a side project.
The original goal wasn't to build a business(although it eventually did) I just wanted to see what the ECU was actually capable of reading in real time without replacing it.
After a lot of late nights, broken prototypes, and testing on multiple bikes, I finally have a working plug-and-play module that connects to the factory diagnostic connector and streams live ECU data to an iPhone.
Right now it can display things like:
• Live RPM
• Coolant temperature
• Intake air temperature
• Battery voltage
• Throttle position
• MAP sensor
• Ride logging
• Diagnostic codes
• Real-time gauges
It doesn't flash or modify the ECU, doesn't require cutting any wires, and installs by plugging into the factory diagnostic connector under the seat.
If you wanna check it out or receive one of the founding units, you can get one at: https://bonkhq.com
I'm also working on adding support for more Honda models as I test them. It currently supports 2003-2020 CBR600RR and working on 1000RR and 650.
I attached a video from today's ride where I finally got to use it on the road. Seeing live ECU data while riding has been incredibly satisfying after spending so many hours reverse engineering Honda's protocol.
I'd genuinely love feedback from other CBR owners.
What features would you want to see if something like this existed? Any suggestions or ideas are welcome!
