Temperature to computer

I am looking into the idea of installing a computer in my car. I thought about
connecting temperature sensors and maybe other devices to the computer. How do I
make a program to show the temperature on the monitor?

    What Monitor ?

    Are you talking about the newer cars with large, flat panel display ?

    If you are talking about an independant computer for a car, it is a
    neat hobby toy.

    You can do outside temperature with frozen road warning.
    distance to car in front or behind for traffice as well as parking.
    motor temperature, even a foggy windshield sensor.

    But, I have not heard of anyone tapping into one of the large flat
    panel displays (yet)

    interesting topic.

    I plan on installing a touch lcd panel in the dash of the car and have an icon
    I could click that would display the outside and inside temperature from
    temperature sensors connected to the computer.
