Been very warm in the UK so hiding in the coldest part of the house and making my Raspberry pi powered CarPlay stereo.
using the base code from https://github.com/rhysmorgan134/react-carplay
a Pi 4, 7" screen, USB audio card and a cheap amp for now to just get the concept working
then just cable tie it into the gaping hole I've made in the dashboard, I don't smoke to the lighter and ashtray have been removed for more screen space
while im here this looks like a great place for a Mac Touch Bar inspired interface. remove the buttons and have an interactive pixel'y display.. added to the ideas page
