Now this is VERY cool (to me anyway).
A while ago there wasn't much alternatives which is why I started my Black Box project, but I just stumbled on this which would cover 99% of all use cases plus it offers more of a "real-time" functionality compared to the black box plus it displays the data live, even when driving (one might have opinions about that, but then again, you're responsible for your own safety). Torque also allows logging and uploading of logs, so it should cover the long-term data collection goals as well.
The project (not mine) is called AA Torque - https://github.com/agronick/aa-torque and it is an Android Auto plugin for Torque Pro.
You can have up to 10 "pages" (for now anyway) and each page allows 7 values, 3 dials and 4 text based values.
I just tinkered with it for an hour this morning and this is about as far as I got.
The instructions are clear (if you read them), use the kingsinstaller and make sure you enable developer functions (in AA, not just on the phone itself).
One thing worth noting is that, I could NOT get it working on my Pixel7 that I've used as a dedicated android auto phone, and there's comments where others have not had any success with a Pixel 6, but it does work (as you can see) on my Galaxy S23 which is bone stock with the latest android auto.
Figured out how to get it working on Google Pixel Phones
