I assume you write it yourself and use a PIC, ardueno or something, you can interrogate the steering angle sensor via OBD [...]

Looking at the video, what do the random numbers mean?
OBD or CAN data, and I agree on how the makers of that unit created it.  Cute graphics.

The figures are engine RPM on the left and road speed on the right, it seems.  I think the video is a bit washed out and more is visible on the screen to the driver than to us.  

To the OP, why not write a message to whoever posted that video (from Japan?) and ask them--  I'd bet it was homemade, perhaps they can make another for you.

Do you know the can-id for the sensor?
 
I'm afraid not.
I'd swear that I've seen steering angle on SZViewer, CarScanner, or even the old scantool I have that I forget the brand of though. 

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

It never occurred to me that it would be RPM & Speed when it is perched atop the rev counter!

I thought it was something to do with the steering, but I couldn't understand the figures.

Yes you have seen it in SZViewer but the software doesnt show the CAN-ID and I was looking to see if it can be added to the Torque App
