Short answer is you can't. You can show ambient temp by using the steering wheel buttons.
You can use Torque for Android or Dashcommand for IOS and an OBD2 reader in the cars OBD2 port to display many things, even coolant temp I believe. But that will not be from the cooler as there is not sensor to read from.
Easiest way would be to install a sensor in the HE and use a product like Zeitronix or Innovate Motorsports LM-2 for data acquisition.

I have a bluetooth ELM obd connection and then installed a droid w211 head unit from China, flashed a custom rom. I run torque pro and keep IATs Boost and Rpms ingested into the gauge display... It is fairly responsive but keep in mind anything over 2 variables is NOT going to display in real time due to the latency of the can bus protocol speed.
You could just buy a cheap droid tablet and do the same thing with a bluetooth ELM obd connector

It will not read HE coolant temp as there is no such sensor in the car.
stupid question but how do I get that to show up on the display?
Thinking about it, you could extend the external temp probe and shove it into the Heat Exchanger.... no clue how to mount it there and more than likely you would damage both heat exchanger and probe... I vote no go

You cannot use the external temperature probe in fluid. You would need a water temperature sensor mounted into the exchanger. Extending the harness to use the external temperature connector would make it very easy to do. Having that data point is definitely helpful to see how fast your fluid recovers after a pull.

Fluid temperature sensor
Yea, I was talking about just cramming it in the fins to get a relative temp mark... That is the way to go with a fluid temp sensor though
