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 an iPhone user, so it was really important to for me to get CarPlay running for my EV project’s infotainment system. (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 […]

The vehicle we’re looking to convert to electric is an older vehicle, so it doesn’t have an infotainment system. I decided to use a Raspberry Pi 4 with the 7” touch screen. 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 […]
