Very nice. 

I wonder can this be optimized to support other metrics? Like using GPS coordinates from CAN instead of the GPS module itself for cars that have it available?

This board will include a jumpered option for K-line master (one diode + one resistor), as well as jumpered powered selection (5v from usb, 5v regulated from car 12v, or direct car 12v) for the K-line bus.

The screenshot shows OVMS sending a 19 byte request to the ECU (0x0f 0x04 .... 0xf0) and the ECU responding 19 bytes (0x0f 0x05 ... 0xf0) with the 4 tyre IDs. There is a similar command to re-program the ECU with new IDs.
