1. I wake up and unlock the phone. Macrodroid turns on bluetooth, waits 1 second, launches Torque.

2. If I lock the screen Macrodroid asks Torque the quit and turns off bluetooth.

3. If I happen to forget to lock the screen manually when I'm done, when the car turns off the lighter, which my phone detects as power being disconnected, Macrodroid asks Torque to quit, turns off bluetooth, and locks the screen.

This way Torque is only running when I unlock the phone. If I don't want to see it, I lock the screen and Torque disconnects from the car and bluetooth turns off. I don't have to worry about it being connected when I don't want it. So far everything works pretty well but I'm only a few days in.
Thanks for the Macrodroid tip!
