Interacting with Onboard Car Computers?

joshmccormack asks: "I've seen lots of projects where people are making great looking computers that fit into the dashboard of their cars that play MP3s, movies and even some that do some GPS and mapping stuff. I'd love to find projects where computers connect with the on board computers in most cars from the mid 90s on to show temperature and performance of various parts of the car. There are diagnostic tools that mechanics use, and that you can get to get data, but I'm particularly interested in real time, in-dash, open source options."

Then again, how are you supposed to google it if you don't even know what the freaking thing is called?? That's why human communities are so effective, even though almost everything can be found through google.
