I am just looking around, and have been reading some of the threads on adding a backup camera. Would it be possible to add mirroring of an a phone and thus the Torque app in the same way?

Basically the cameras that are used have an RCA plug that leads into the head unit. Couldn't a splitter like this:

be used along with this usb powered HDMI converter:

to allow phones / devices with an HDMI out to display on the stock head unit and still have a backup camera?

I know it isn't as smooth or sleek as a brand new full android head unit, but I'm not after a better radio. I just want to be able to put all the gauges that Torque has on the screen where I can glance at them?

Any thoughts?
