Hey can i buy your old buttons ?
I changed into android head unit on my gallardo, but the head unit never turn off so I made separate on/off switch for the head unit. I checked that the lighter socket also did not turn off even though no key inserted. Do you think I installed it wrong?
So you tested something that is supposed to make your car faster, but didnt use the mode that is the fastest and no LC, because you bellieve its not the normal daily driving case. It makes no sense to me. I mean, i see people using it in sport mode, but very few of them, most people who own Gallardo are aware that even the new RS3 would smoke it, so they dont go around racing, or if they do, they put big snails.
Hi can we do serial comm between aftermarkets display and arduino?
I need to work something out for the SVJ, so thanks for giving me some ideas! May need your files...😁
Thanks for the compliments! I can post up the STL for the ring part as well if you like as I would expect Gallardo owners to re-use that part. You could have it cut from Send cut send though.
@@cruisinggeek3640 Thanks!
I just pushed the stl for the ring and the STEP file in case there's any modifications you need to my github. You will need to have the ring part cut from a place like Send cut Send out of 1.7mm stainless or maybe aluminum. Let me know if it works out for you!
How did you remove cup holder from the console is the push tabs on the back,sides, or front i don't want to break it?
How do you remove the button assembly on a LP? I need to disassemble mine to try to repair the window button.

@@smnkm4ehfer Since Gallardo is a spanish word I prefer to use the ll spanish sound to keep the correct original pronunciation
Great job bro.
Thanks!!!!
when i upload the code i get this message "Compilation error: Stopwatch.h: No such file or directory" what am I doing wrong?
You need to grab the CruisingGeekCommon and put it in your arduino library folder which on windows is under documents\Arduino\libraries\ github.com/CruisingGeek/CruisingGeekCommon
this plug jack where connects?
@@χρηστοςξυνος-ψ1θ The rotary encoder plugs with 4 wires into the Arduino. The arduino plugs into the swc input of your head unit
There’s a wiring diagram on my github page linked in the video description
This is one of the cleanest edits for a Gallardo
Voth Productions does the best work! Was happy to have them spend time with the car.
I gave an android head unit with the key wire.. Is there a way to make this work with it??
If you don't have the SWC input with the mini stereo connector and only have the key wire you need a decoder unit that converts the buttons to the appropriate format the head unit understands. Something like this: www.crutchfield.com/S-SlSN48NP9BM/p_794ADSMSW/iDatalink-Maestro-SW-Steering-Wheel-Control-Adapter.html?XVINQ=GZ0&XVVer=Q0Q&awcr=628587969356&awdv=c&awnw=g&awug=9033300&awkw=pla-296046287922&awmt=&awat=pla&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7ZO0BhDYARIsAFttkCjVZrQtiRYW00SxzZ-GFWYP-L6I8ipBLz502qx6Dm5-v5N7L04oWjsaAmMHEALw_wcB The arduino would then communicate with the Maestro, and the Maestro would hook to your head unit.
Dude putting this is in a lambo, I'm putting this into mk4 jetta
You would be surprised at how old/crappy the eRNS and HVAC stuff are in these cars. Lambo put all development costs for the 2009 MY year into the new 5.2L v10 so still same crappy stereo from the early 2000s Audis
thank you very much for YOUR help
You're welcome!
Sorry, but original RNS looks 10x better :P
Thanks for your response. Even if I agreed the bigger screen helps so much with reversing that it was a must install since I daily the car and need to see when backing out
Hey Scott, I'm just over in Victoria and in the market for a gallardo. Would you be open to meeting up?
Absolutely. Pm me or send mail to naigon_akoii@yahoo.com and if you’re in the area we could make it happen
Where did you get your Stopwatch library from?
All the libraries I used are CruisingGeek common, which is also on my github account
github.com/CruisingGeek/CruisingGeekCommon
Make sure to download this library and put it in your arduino library folder when compiling your project and it should compile correctly.
Good to know! Thank you very much for the help!
Save yourself big head aches by not buying the owl dash cam. I sent mine back because of pixalation. Support has no clue on how to help you.
Looks really expensive for what they did
You definitely pay a premium to go to a dealership and it seems the premium is larger the more expensive of a brand you are dealing with.
Nice video. I'm about to install an android radio to my 2003 mazda 6. I was also wondering how I can use the factory radio's volume knob to the aftermarket radio. The factory radio will remain in place while the android radio will be mounted as a floating screen radio on top
Very interesting - I am about to buy an LP Gallardo as well and wonder how important those catch cans are. I don't have any skills working on cars - I wonder if it's worth to ask a mechanic to make that mod. What are your thoughts?
Honestly I would say not 100% necessary especially if you use the Motul low particle oil (xclean i think they call it). I haven’t accumulated much since running the system meaning it’s not creating too much blow by under normal driving
But I recommend for peace of mind as my Audi TTs was super dirty after 100000 miles
Actually 2014 was the latest gallardo
The community calls the 2013-2014 model year LP 560-4 cars "final edition" as there was no differences between the two.
Next video a DCT install? Lets go!
I wish! DCT and adding port injection are two big projects I'd LOVE to tackle both in terms of they would make fun videos but also I just really want them LOL.
Thanks for the easy to follow instructions. Appreciate the time it took to do this!
This is a good service to perform right before you sell the car. I'd recommend an independent shop for annual service. I just had a $12,000 dealer service performed for $4500 at an independent shop.
Agree, I love my local independent.
I have sent you email about this small mosfet board
I generally don't check the email associated with this account and didn't see it in my main email. Could you try again to naigon_akoii@yahoo.com, that's the one I actually check regularly. Thanks!
Thank you so much for posting this! I’ve been wanting to add a volume control to my aftermarket stereo as well, and I started noodling about this idea. Having someone walk through the process is invaluable
Glad I could help!
Thank you for sharing this content. I am going to get my Gallardo next month so any improvement suggestion is welcome!
That's awesome! You are going to love your Gallardo, it has classic lines and is beautiful from every angle. For upgrades, the best I've made are the PS4S tires and the KLA shift paddles. The latter are getting really hard to find, so hope you can get a set. This catch can kit would be a 3rd as it is a great peace of mind but be warned it did start leaking... video coming by next week explaining that and the fix.
It is heartwarming to witness a son presenting a gift to his parents, especially when that gift embodies years of dedication, like the beloved car. The sentiment behind such a gesture truly reflects the depth of love and appreciation. 😄
Thanks so much! They really enjoyed the car a few years, and just traded it in to land a really nice SUV and they could not be more happy.
Awesome video man! We got the battery for Cruising Geek. If anyone needs a battery, call or text 717-319-2100 and will help you guys out.
Thanks for showing how this is accomplished. I'm going to try to get a touch screen pioneer to have volume up/down and mute via push button rotary encoder. Nice and simple. Thanks again!
Glad I could help! One note - make sure your Pioneer is one that has the audio-style mini jack for the SWC control and editable buttons built-in. Some of them just have a single wire and require an external device to decode the buttons, which works but in my opinion complicates things more.
how much did it cost? this is ppf correct?
Yes PPF, clear protection film. I paid pretty much $6,000 for it.
Is this something you could make custom for a car if we paid you? I also have an android headunit for my car and Went the route of a USB volume remote but I definitely want to do something factory! While I’m super comfortable with DIY projects,- the microelectronics portion is out of my element 😅
If you mean you want the Arduino wired up with leads to the rotary encoder then definitely. If you are talking about the full custom faceplate and/or hardware for where the rotary encoder lives that would be tough without the car; unless you have a Gallardo and I could just reuse all the hardware I already made. Reach out to me at naigon_akoii@yahoo.com if you want more info and want me to wire up the board.
I've forwarded information about applying this project to a Kenwood stereo with steering wheel controls via your email. Could you please review it and respond at your earliest convenience?
Did it realy it realy need a arduino to make it function?
You MIGHT be able to get away with hooking the rotary encoder directly through the SWC with resistors, but considering how "slow" it read I suspect you would have missed presses when you are turning the knob, so would not work very professionally. The SWC works on a very specific frequency which is why the Arduino is needed to buffer clicks if you turn rapidly.
@@cruisinggeek3640 Yap, you are right. I'm now working on my own head unit, and yes adding a arduino makes it much easier and cleaner. Did you think about using Rpi and LineageOS to make own head unit? I have now a problem that the build of the latest LineageOS for Pi (made by KonstKang) doesn't realy support GPIO programming because android ... and I have no idea how to shut it down safely without touching the screen every time before I get out of the car. And yes, unfortunatly gpio-shutdown doesn't work if added in the config file...
Many thanks for uploading and shearing information. I wonder if you could give us more infomaton on mosfets ? also I plan to do this project with add mute bottom too, by push donw mute function.
Are you asking which MOSFETs to use? I listed the exact ones I used and bigger/cheaper alternatives in the video description. If you are asking what is a MOSFET, it is basically a switching circuit that allows a low power/voltage circuit (arduino) to switch an external circuit that sucks more power/voltage than can be handled by the arduino.
Yes I was asking, I moved to use digital potentiometer (X9C104 ) which market is full of counterfeit and lastly try to use Analog Multiplexer (4HC4051) which my code was wrong. have try 4HC4051 ? seems be better than each individual mosfet IMO.
Since there's only two channels needed here and I already have a 4-channel individual MOSFET board that seemed to be the best way to go over a more specialized multiplexer. I also prefer the rotary encoder for this application for the infinite spin, and the more compact size fits my specific install space much better.
Did you use Atoto Microphone for phone calls. Or still use original microphone? Very nice video
Well neither. The Gallardo being designed for the 2004 model year is way behind in terms of tech. For the LP/2009 refresh all development went into the new drivetrain and the electronics that run the car are still old school. This is the first car I've owned in over 10 years that doesn't even have auto headlights, you HAVE to turn on the switch when it gets dark LOL (there are daytime running lights that are always on). So yeah, I HAD to use the mic provided by the ATOTO, though I generally don't talk while I'm driving, I'd rather hear my v10 than anyone's voice even my wife, and that's saying a lot LOL.
I was planning on doing something like this, but I was thinking on taking a volume knob off of an old stereo and wiring it to the touch buttons in the new stereo but now I see that it might be harder than what I was thinking since there is coding involved.
The Arduino Pro Micro (clone) x3 is no longer available on amazon, is there a replacement that is compatible with your procedures? Also does "360 degrees" for the rotary encoder mean it will spin endlessly? Do you know if there a "360 degree" rotary encoder compatible with this procedure that also has a y axis to fast forward or reverse tracks?
That exact one I used might not be there but there are tons of 3-packs of pro micro clones www.amazon.com/Hosyond-ATmega32U4-Development-Micro-Controller-Compatible/dp/B09C5H78BP/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2Y8WAL13NOKBU&keywords=arduino+pro+micro&qid=1698372198&sprefix=arduino+pro+micro%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-3
The 360 does mean it spins infinitely. I do not know of a rotary encoder that has more than just the left and right infinite spin and single press button integrated
Ok thank you, also what about the fact that my head unit has only one steering wheel function wire? It is a blue/yellow wire that is part of the wiring harness. The wiring harness I am talking about is the one that has all my power/ground/remote/spkr wires/illumination etc. It is not like yours or some other stereos that have a seperate auxilary input for the SRC. I'm assuming it will still work as long as I use the blue/yellow wire as my power and the ground wire that is part of the wiring harness already. Do you know what I mean?
Yeah... if you have the one wire thing you will need an external mastreo unit to decode the SWC and send to your head unit: www.amazon.com/Maestro-ADS-MSW-Universal-Steering-Interface/dp/B00J4W10XG/ref=asc_df_B00J4W10XG/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312765622753&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5761320742676852570&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033300&hvtargid=pla-634754805597&psc=1&mcid=8b004dbd6aa53121aab047d4d9e05c4e&gclid=CjwKCAiA7t6sBhAiEiwAsaieYu-xlK8byy-DeBCZuDSZvgJRWvcTe3pu_BYtehTFSAXKEHYLUcd6ABoCfSUQAvD_BwE
This is really wonderful. I had the same idea so I searched Google for "arduino encoder volume knob" and ended up here, feel so lucky that you've already done all the hard work for me! I'm setting this up in my Scion tC. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hey glad I could help! I did that same search before starting this project and was shocked no one (that I could find) had really done it so figured it would make sense to share if I got it working!
I would've been nervous when I saw them pull those floor jacks out looking confused. If I'm ever in that situation, now I know to call ahead to make sure they have the knowledge / capability to change the tires on the car.
It was a bit of a nerve racking experience for sure. I'm glad I got out of there before they did more than just look with confused faces!
I'm in the market for a 2011-2014 Gallardo & this helps a lot to know what to expect! Thanks for the video!
Sweet, good luck with your search!
This car in dark pitch wheels 😊
This is common in Ferrari car’s as well
Ferrari might be the only brand that is WORSE at this issue than Lamborghini from what I've seen.
what resistors are you using? and do I need to use mosfets for this to work? I can find any mosfet arrays like that near where I live and i need this working tomorrow.
Resistors are just the standard off the shelf 1/8watt through hole ones. I have a stash of them here and just grabbed a couple that were far enough apart and over 1000ohm so that the head unit could differentiate them. Values don't matter too much as long as they are far enough apart that the computer can tell the difference (like don't use a 1,000ohm and then a 1033ohm one). Either an N-channel MOSFET or NPN transistor is needed to switch the higher power draw of the head unit, otherwise you'd be pulling that power straight through the CPU which either won't work or could damage it. I have plently of those small MOSFET boards here from a previous project if you need to buy a couple, though you said you had a pretty tight time crunch.
@@cruisinggeek3640 would you consider making one and selling it ?
@@blastros10 I'm dealing with some health issues currently so not really in a position to do that right now but definitely something I'd consider in the future.
The car choice is great but the shirt is way to busy lol 😂 and the ttrs and a v10 is my next step 😊
Haha thanks for the comment!
I have an aftermarket radio that comes with its own volume knob, but i still would like to utilize the factory volume knob of the car but do not know what i have to do exactly in order to "eliminate" the aftermarket radio volume knob
There's two separate issues there: 1. Remove volume knob from aftermarket radio. 2. Get car's volume knob to work. For #1, your best bet is to just a head unit without one. But you could probably pull off the knob and grind down the spindle that sticks out to mostly get rid of it. For #2, it depends on how your car implemented the volume knob and how you want to hack into it. If it is a propriatary system your best bet would be to cut the traces of the PCB it is attached to and solder wires off them (assuming it is just a rotary encoder as I used). Then you could do exactly as I did here. If the factory uses CAN to communicate the buttons and volume you could get a CAN reader to interface with your head unit. Would take some programming but would be less destructive. I cannot really give more advice than that as I haven't solved that and it would differ vehicle to vehicle. Good luck!
Can you please put us a link to buy a MOSFET? Or some model?
It needs to be N-channel, it should be able to handle maybe 0.2amp continuous, though I didn't measure. This is the exact one I used but it is overkill for this application as it is 5amp continuous: www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/755-RQ6E055BNTCR If you are looking for a bigger aka easier to work with through hole package this should work as it is 60v but 0.2amp (200mA) compatible. www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/onsemi-Fairchild/2N7000TA?qs=iN0KuJO79KZfCWVKA48bEg%3D%3D
Men that programong can be used on uconnect radio. Whit progrmaing arduino canbus? Im looking to ad a volume knob because i dont think install thw oem bezel and the volume controls are whit can bus signals
Right now the arduino is used to interface the SWC (steering wheel control) so it does not utilize can bus. You would need to update the programming for outputing the appropriate can bus signal via the PWM pins on the microcontroller and hook that with your radio. Note that most aftermarket head units have SWC though so this method should work, though if you are trying to do a custom volume knob with a factory unit you would probably need the can bus implementation.
