The MS2 doesn't have any spare inputs for datalogging. What is logged and is useful in your case, is RPM, TPS, MAP, clutch/neutral.
The MS3 only has 3 more analog inputs and vehicle speed.
I would recommend that you go with a dedicate box that has onboard sensors or can accept accerometers, at least a z-axis gyro, and a GPS.

As long as you use the android accelerometers as relative values, not absolute. Comparing accelerometer data like latG with other systems won't work out well. There is a 0.4G difference between my TrackMaster data and the 5000$ calibrated accelerometers I use now (borrowed from work).
The phone sensors work great to compare your own performance from corner to corner and the minimum speed in corners from GPS is good enough to allow comparison with other drivers using different dataloggers.

If you have the money buy a DL1 - Products » Data loggers » DL1 Mk2 / Classic » Description - Racing - Race Technology Ltd - Automotive Technical Excellence
If you don't have the money for that buy an AEM AQ-1, harness, GPS sensor for around 590$

350 for the aq-1, 150 for the harness, 90 for the gps unit.
When it comes down to it you want a whole package that will work with you right out of the box, software and hardware.

Dimitris, I'm talking about outputs, not inputs In other words, I'll end up with some dedicated box. Some of them can connect to and read RPM and a number of other things from OBD2. The question is - can I connect MS2 to a box like that (say, DL1, MaxQ or similar) and not run separate sensors or wires?
Tech and other guys, I might start with an iPhone or small Android phone/tablet just to see what's involved. It's my understanding that I'll need a separate GPS unit to get better data as the regular phone unit is at 1Hz or so - not fine enough. But, again, I'm trying to see what data I can easily get from car's sensors.

OK, after looking at a few things over the weekend, let's try a different tack. The RS-232 output from MS carries several signals I'd like to interface to a datalogging device. There's RPM, TPS, probably intake temperature, possibly other things.
Has anyone interfaced that signal to a simple iPhone-based datalogging device or to something a little more elaborate?
