Not at all. You may be biting off more than you can chew.

I know that i sound stuck on linux, but it is precisely because of software shortcomings and inability to overcome these in linux one can run android apps AND tailor the software it may need actually CREATING a driver for a device, unfortunately. or a GUI.. And its not a small task, even though it will be a lot easier than in andro.. still- easy (but with limits) way out is to use Android.. have a lookie here: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=289226 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIQPVxMbSJU and here he`s got a phone on his dasboard idea is nice, but i want control over it without stopping the car, even without diverting my eyes from the road! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSjwd637mog

Okey dokey, third time lucky posting this reply... Let's blame the stinking hangover.
First, I think I should set out the aim of this stereo. I'm after (not too complicated) Phase 1 Play music - via phone, USB stick or sd card Dab radio Sat nav - via phone or direct (already have a couple of sat nav aerials on windscreen) Hands free calls Works whether it's myself or the wife driving Shuts down safely when car switched off Doesn't set on fire Torque or similar Be handy to display speed in mph as speedo still in kph Phase 2/additional wish list Dolby 5.1 Video/games in back Steering wheel controls Ability to cut off rear speakers, handy when kids are in back doing what they do (or asleep) and the wife and I are in the front. Happy with just putting a button or dial on the dash EDIT: At the minute I have a reverse camera working through the Japanese sat nav and being displayed (permanently) on the screen coming out the top of my dash. In the future I may put this through the pi display. Would also like to have a camera of the front, but that's a long way in the future. As for my programming ability, I've programmed in C++ and a few others a loooong time ago back at uni. It's not that I'm coming from this knowing nothing (although I've never played with Linux), it's just that I generally don't like it. Maybe because you can't hit anything with a hammer like proper engineering Anyway, more shiny bits arrived today. If possible I really want to put the little cubby hole back in this as I use it all the time (wallet, phone, etc). I'm expecting to have to milliput it to get the screen looking right anyway, so this might end up wrapped in brushed ally to match the rest. Last edited by HankScorpio; Jul 13th, 2019 at 14:17. |

Maybe I should change the name of this thread to 'My next half finished project, raspberry pi stereo'

I know there are a few people following this thread, so it's due an update.
All the bits arrived today, so as it stands I have: Raspberry Pi4, official Raspberry Pi 7 inch touch screen, micro sd card, Bluetooth dongle, USB sound card, DAB box + antenna, USB cable (for phone), (powered) USB hub and new facia. To hand, I also have a USB keyboard and my lads xbox headset (for testing soundcard/mic). The Pi screen is close to 2 Din size but doesn't quite fit, so my task for the next few days is to work out how to mount it securely in the new facia while still looking pretty. I'm thinking a dremel and some milliput may be handy here. I need to buy some brushed ally wrap for the gear knob surround as mine has a big gouge out of it, so don't be too suprised if the facia ends up in the same stuff. After spending a long time weighing up options, I have paid for Openauto (£25) and have downloaded this to my SD card. The download also includes the Pi OS. So, I plugged it all in tonight and ABSOLUTELY BUGGER ALL HAPPENED! Turns out that Openauto isn't yet ready for the Pi4. I thought this might happen, but thought I'd future proof myself. After checking the forums, Blue Wave, who make Openauto, will have a new release over the next week or so, so it's not a problem... This is also why I can focus on the mounting I'll provide another update shortly and I'll try to get some decent photos later on tonight. |

Oh, if anyone is interested, the most useful thing I found was a channel called Automate Everything on YouTube. He's only got a few videos so the ones on this are easy to find. You will want to watch all four though as he makes changes and modifications by the end.

Quick bit of dremel action between work calls has left me with this. Going to cut down the outer surround so it sits flush with the main body.
I think the screen itself will be sandwiched between two pieces of foam incase of jolts as its currently resting on its very thin glass edges. I also need to knock up something for the back of it to hold it secure via the four spare fixing points. This might be made from wood and epoxy So far, so good(ish) |

So then, openauto has new fw (to work with pi4) and we're away. Boots up and loads.
I have music and sat nav via android auto/my phone. I can make phone calls via Bluetooth, but I sound like a robot and the wife sounds like a smurf. Can't get dab to work yet. I haven't done anything more than plug all the bits together and join the Bluetooth. I'll start to fiddle with settings and see where that gets me. |
