I love music, so its important to have a car audio system for my Autobianchi Giardiniera, Dante. The audio system will also be an integral part of my infotainment system, which I’m currently figuring out. My priorities for my car audio system were good sound quality and minimal impact to the interior of my classic car. I set out to […]

Monitoring Raspberry PI GPIOs when running Android
As part of my journey to create an Apple CarPlay compatible infotainment system for my car project, I also wanted to use the Pi’s GPIOs to enable apps such as a backup camera. From my research, I discovered that OpenAuto doesn’t support CarPlay dongles. I chose to use Lineage OS Android, as I was able to get my CarPlay dongle […]
CarPlay on Raspberry Pi demo
Getting CarPlay running on a car system like OpenAuto has been a target for my electrical vehicle conversion project. I couldn’t find an OpenAuto solution that uses a CarPlay dongle, so I had to look elsewhere. The good news is I’ve put together a solution using Lineage OS (see my previous post) that I’ll be using moving forward if all […]
CarPlay on Raspberry Pi 4 & 7″ Touchscreen

(I’m not looking to start a iPhone vs. Android spat – both have a their benefits, but its just that iPhones work for me!) I put together a platform running Apple’s CarPlay on a Raspberry Pi 4 and […]

First though, I wanted to physically harden the Pi 4 & screen system for prototyping. My son modified a 3D print file for a Raspberry Pi 2 or […]
