Myford Touch Lockpick: Torque Gauges

[SRT82ECOBOOST]

I was cruising the forum and noticed people offering up different set-ups for running the Torque app in their cars with a dedicated screen via a tablet or smartphone. I started thinking if there was a way to use the existing displays in the car to show the Torque related information. So I stumbled on to this product:

My thought would be to use a bluetooth OBDII adaptor, a smartphone and an HDMI to analog converter to use the existing RCA jacks in the vehicle. Then the Lockpick would allow for viewing the Torque information on the center display in the vehicle while moving.
So for the A/V gurus out there, is there any chance of this method working?

I have Coastal Lockpick in my 2010 Flex.  It will allow the rear camera on full time and also allow the playing of videos while moving.  It only allows updating destinations at a minute at a time.  Not sure if it would allow another source to run full time.  I have Torque Pro and use a Galaxy 10" quad core tablet. Still playing with setup.  2013 setup might work differently with center display.

I watched a video on youtube and a guy was playing a movie off from his phone through the RCA jacks while driving. I would think that Toque would run just fine with the same setup.

Bob, can you keep us updated?

I mis-spoke.  I am working with my Tablet on Torque Pro settings.  I have not been working on a way to use OBDII bluetooth adapter to access screen.  Sorry....

My computer guru son will be here tomorrow to go to Nascar at Homestead.  Perhaps he can come up with a solution using my tablet and possible RCA input.  Not sure the 2010 Nav has that input option for the screen.  Maybe in back like my G8 radios????
