from what I can tell it decodes the signals from the OBD port and shows them on a graphic like the ones above. Doesn't sound that complicated at all

Torque will display anything from the ecu. You could build a tablet into the dash, maybe with some after market dials for the bits it won't do.

It doesn't update fast enough to use. the dials would just jump every half a second

also the bluetooth adapter drains the battery (I accidentally left mine in for a week)

a hard-wired OBD usb would be better then, I've got one in the garage!

If you had a tablet that worked with it

[Maxxed_Ross]

it's all down to the software I think. I used the cabe once to download a remap into my dads Mini and never used it again

Get one of these

and attach it to a 7 or 10" tablet and use it to display what ever live data you want.

that looks very like the one I have!

Apparently it works with those USB readers for the OBD port, so you could in theory run your car computer through it too
