Default CANBUS readings through PCCM+

Is it technically feasible to read CANBUS signals on the PCCM+? Trying to figure out if it's possible to display car information like oil temp, coolant temp, etc. I know the standard software won't present any of this but would it be possible to side load an app that can read this data onto the system via the USB port and run the app on the Android system?

I had really good experiences with Zeitronix on two different cars.
https://zeitronix.com/
I used this display and then logged data on a laptop when needed.

I have posted on here about them a couple times but I haven't got feedback from others. However, when I go to the track with a lot of my friends from LA, people are logging with their set up.

I would use Torque (an Android app) together with an ELM327 Bluetooth unit.

Gotcha.
Sol why don't you just go with the "standard" for track days:
https://www.aim-sportline.com/en/pro...o2dl/index.htm
It has all the features you want and you get tons of data (aka "squiggly lines") to analyze later
or - even easier - you use a Garmin Catalyst: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/690726
