Question about diagnostics (realtime) screen?

[Tah]

2012 Chevy Tahoe LTZ 4wd 5.3.

Is there a diagnostic tool that I can tell what my car (engine, drivetrain anything) is doing in realtime as it’s running? Can I plug a screen into something (OBD port) and send that information to a screen (iPhone, IPad, TV, anything) to see realtime things happening?

Tech 2 bi-directional scanner will perform that function. You can view these items in real time while you are driving by simply watching the Tech 2's screen. If you want to do time-based analysis, you can hook up the Tech 2 to a PC and download the data and view on the PC.

Can I mount a small screen? I guess think android tablet to monitor diagnostics while driving. I know I said tv but that or a laptop might be a bit cumbersome.

If my head unit which I spent a decent amount of money on isn’t compatible I’m not going to buy a new one but thanks for the idea. I’ll look up and see if what I have is compatible with IDATALINK MAESTRO RR.

Do you know what tablet might be compatible? A lot of those are PC based only and that might get a bit cumbersome driving.

Do you know what apps I might be able to use on my iPhone?

efi live is windows compatible, so any windows tablet or laptop
as for android app's torque or torque pro is one, just buy a bt obd adapter those can be had for as little as $20-30 online like a ELM.
