This is one I have found that includes decent source code for implementation.

Post any information about better boards or boards that already have API or SDK's included with them.

I am posting here just to make sure you know that accessing hardware is prohibited for CF (frontends) !
I don't know what you want to read/write from the outside world - but if it would be the oil temperature you can read that from an assembly which is "open source" and documented - into this assembly you can include your "controlling relay board" algorithms.
Imagine somebody is able to read the oil temp from the CAN Bus (CAN Bus adapter)...
Same for window control and stuff...

your question:
Their is no kickass IO stuff at the moment... and a lot of wires from your engine, doors and boot to your IO board (whereever you place it) suck IMHO.
What we need are some decent cheap CAN IO nodes (with Input and Outputs like the stoopid relay baords)...
