Talk me out of using a Nexus 7 as a digital dash

Any hardware that allows a competitor to wirelessly connect to the ECU at any time during competition or post-competition impound is strictly prohibited, regardless of whether such hardware is external or internal to the ECU.

Not connecting wirelessly. Not an issue. If connecting to the ECU in a wired capacity is an issue, then they need to ban practically every OBD-II logger on the planet. Accessing the ECU is not the issue. Accessing the ECU wirelessly is the issue (at least as the rule is written).

Thats not how I read it. Lets assume thats the case though, just for a second. Does that mean that Harrys Lap Timer and an iPhone with OBD-II cable are illegal? What about an AIM data system? Dash DL-1? Racepak IQ3?
My point is, practically every data logger connects to the ECU these days via OBD-II. While its not really applicable in some of our cases (since the cars are OBD-I/not stock ECU), I think the intent is to keep someone from having a pushbutton reflash prior to getting on the dyno in impound. To further that point, outside of one DIYPNP with an internal Bluetooth board that Ive seen, none of the DIYPNP/Megasquirt family has wireless connectivity that I know of.
I do agree that it is poorly worded and this is mostly semantics, but unfortunately when youre sitting in impound, semantics matter.

Mechanical connections to the ECU (e.g. through OBD-II) for table switching etc are possible to control, but wireless changes are harder to police.
Predictable problems when using a dyno classification and things start to get tight.

Not all of them have antennas and protocols making remote telemetry/control possible.
