from what i can see, your best option might be this:

1) create a plugin prog to send the song details over the serial (customizable in Emplode of course)

2) create a box to house a serial buffer/interpreter which has these connections:
- power
- serial in
- seral thru
- video in
- video out

This would let you do overlays onto standard vid signals but there may be more than meets the eye to this scal of project.

how about a box that has a VFD like in Hugo's mp3_mobile prototype?

this can then be mounted in useful places like on the dash to relfect off the windscreen - giving a HUD kind of thing.

This way other apps can call strings to it and it shows the text.

Just another use for track output over serial
