Wow, i think you just lit the spark to get me back into tinkering again. That was an excellent video and your ideas and link help is wonderful. Thanks and the best to you and your family.
AWESOME! This is exactly the sort of thing I was wanting to do with my old 07 Pontiac G6. Its radio was garbage so I was eventually going to replace it with a Pioneer double din that had android auto, but couldn't ever afford the near 2k price tag.... So I had started to look into Car PCs and seeing what was out there for a Raspberry Pi, but nothing ever turned up. I eventually got rid of the G6 and bought a Passat with Android Auto built in (didn't even know it had it at the time lol. Just plugged in the phone and BOOM there it was!). BUT I still would LOVE to have this as an option! The girlfriend really loves how Android Auto works but her Corolla doesn't have it... With this, I can probably just 3D print her a small, slim mount that fits on the dash, and route the audio to the AUX port on her existing radio. Although, does this output audio over bluetooth? While it may be redundant... She'd most likely prefer the stock radio to display the current track and yadda yadda so that it isn't just sitting at a 'blank screen doing nothing' lol. Sure it'd show two copies of what's playing, but it'd be interesting if it was able to output audio via bluetooth lol. Heck, this would even give her the option to leave the stock head unit on the car info screen as well. She's always switching back and forth to it so she could see her economy and what not. This would let her keep it on that screen and yet still have control over the audio >:D
You are my new hero! My wife and I have been overlanding in an FZJ80 Land Cruiser and just like you, I'm venturing down this path just because I can't see out our rear window because of all of our gear. So, I've been looking to put in a camera, but wanted the display overhead because the sun on the dash make it very difficult to see the screen. I also wanted it to be raspberry pi based so we can add additional monitors (remote fridge temp, weather station, solar info, etc). Came across this video and am both impressed and excited by your setup. Hope we run into you out there someday off road. Would like to thank you in person. THANK YOU!
This is really cool. I have been wanting to do a custom car computer, and I wasn't sure how Open Auto would fit into the picture. I can definitely see how it can work, and this project serves as a nice template. Thanks for your effort
Dude! This is awesome! I might build something similar for my new car. The one thing I miss from my old one is full control of my phone via Google assistant. If I can add in a dedicated Android auto solution, that's just icing on the cake.
Very nice work my friend. You've inspired me to get off my ass and do a project. Lol. BTW I was watching your video on my tablet and my Pixel 2 XL picked up North Battleford. Haha... man you are UP THERE! Take care.
This is awesome I’m am doing this to my truck of course watching it over and over for the details on how to thanks man I’ve subscribed for more info great thanks
Just found your page, awesome! Thank you for this great and interesting project. I would love to learn a lot more! Especially about making all the cameras record.
The Ole Raspberry Pi Trick!!! I know this is an old video, but I too have played with the Pis of different Versions starting with the 1.0. You probably already knoe this, but I figured I would share with others. A person can purchase a Really Small Wireless Keybaord with a Built in Mouse Pad for the Pi. It is something that works great and can fit in the Glove Box or Center Console. Just A FYI incase some one is looking into this project. I might dust off an old 3.0 Pi and give this OpenAuto a go in my OBS just for fun. Thanks for your Video!
8:45 try switching the maps z-index and opacity... but you wouldn't be able to interact with the other screens in background... maybe a button that puts the map on top with opacity for 5000ms so you can interact with map and a lastTouched timeout function to switch the z-index back for interacting with radio, etc...
Wow, pretty cool man nice job. I'm in the middle of changing my car stock stereo in to a dash-pi. Thanks for the good points. New subscriber for sure. Btw nice camper.🤘
Never mind I see how you made the screen! :D Awesome JOB man! I am dong something similar by adding a 2nd screen to my Dasaita android radio. Via HDMI. But needed a case
Sorta. You could do it with a hidden developer setting and WiFi currently. The phone will need to become a hotspot, the pi being a client off that. The phone would run a server daemon that the "head unit" (the pi) will connect to. Bluetooth specifically? That's plainly no.
I'm using my 50amp/hr lithium deep cycle battery (past van project) for a raspberry pi project. I'm totally going to use the regulator as you did but hopefully, make a portable smart battery box. I just need to work on the box design. The scripting is exciting but I have to start messing around with them because I never have before. How can I make the battery chargeable from multiple sources? I want to be able to plug it into regular 110v house supplied power and solar when bringing it camping. Ideally, this could be a media source and power a 12v travel fridge that I have.
This is awesome, I recently came across 'crankshaft' which is a fork of the openauto project. I plan on using this when I can afford the touchscreen and am praying your scripts will work with it, I really wanted a reverse camera and a dignified shutdown which I've seen in the comments your also working on. I'd love to get the dimmer working with the headlights too. Great work. Subscribed!
The next video is almost ready, sensing the headlights could be done pretty easily using the optocoupler method I'll show. I still like have the option to change it whenever I choose... but you could have both... Standby!!!
Love it... you could 3d print a perfect plastic enclosure and it could be styled to match the rest of the interior, and perhaps design in some additional features as well. Then you could even provide the enclosure on a 3d printing service like thingaverse
pretty cool, We bought the cheapest 2 din android head unit for our car, The only thing that sucks is that it does not allow netflix to play. I am going to have to search out another one or build a pi.... The head unit allows for a lot of things from HDMI, USB, Audio, GPS, rear camera, and other things... One thing I do like is that it has wifi and I do not have to cast a phone to it.
We now have six cameras actually, but each one requires its own pi, they only have one camera input, I do remember someone had a Kickstarter project where they had a switch mechanism where you could plug in for cameras and then switch between them, but you can't run them at the same time.
You can make it easier. take the tablet, open the tablet and remove the battery. then you take a voltage rectifier for alliexpress and connect it to a 12 volt car cable. you also bring the cable out of the tablet for usb (for an external flash drive)
What a great video, My end goal is to combine a 3rd part 360 degree camera system and my own camera system into the same computer. Hopefully I can get it to display radio stations and such with physical buttons. Perfect video
Nissan should hire you I guess... I just bought a 2019 Nissan Altima and the android auto is trash.. The head unit just doesn't seem to have enough juice to run it smoothly.
Very cool! The enclosure looks good, and smart to go with wood versus metal. I wonder if an OBD2 to USB could be added for monitoring and logging. This video earned you a new sub! o7
@@Everlanders I will be! I am a Mechanic, and a tech enthusiast, and it seems like what you're doing is right up my alley! I'm looking at getting a 3D printer soon too!
Nice vid have been looking at getting Pi and screen this video has sold me and I have already got a alpine head unit that does this what this particular project does it just seems like a awesome project to get me started thanks for your inspiration.
This is really great! I have a right hand drive landcruiser and have been looking for a camera set up so I can pass people safely. Interested to see how electroDacus works too!
The electroDacus SBMS has run flawlessly for 2 years, no complaints there! The camera adaptors were delivered moments ago, I'm excited to get home and test how the camera works over that 30 foot long cable. #signalqualityhell
If you made this in a DIY bag, I would so buy it. Even if it was without the review camera component. How would you make this if you just wanted it as your head unit? How could you add amplification and control buttons?
This is exactly what I was looking for to build into my T5. Only issue I have is routing a HDMI cable 'through the van' from the rear tailgate. Are there other ways to use a camera?
It seems a van would be even easier than ours, just run it above the headliner. Short of running some wires you'd need a second Pi, a local network and stream the video over RSTP with some custom scripts at both ends.
this is really nice but can you explain the wire connections to the raspberry pi from the car and where these connections are coming from and also where these camera are placed.also, tell me details about the mic connection?
Interesting, but music is mostly important for me going with my car and radio, would be neat if someone could implement a booster, fm/am/dab radio with radio input.
@@Everlanders oh.. 3D stuff is all greek to me. Must speak to friends who understand it. You say screen itself can withstand rain, or should I consider some sort of protective film on it? Must dig deep to this whole raspberry navigation thing. Sounds promising alternative to commercial GPS-units. Both motorbike and car usage. thanks
Yes, I did some testing reading the wheel buttons over ODB2 via Bluetooth. It worked, but wasn't worth the hassle for me. But if you wanted you could just map those inputs to keystrokes on the Pi.
Been wanting to do something like this in my car for a long time, but i don't have a good place to put the screen and keep it clean looking. also my radio doesn't have an aux in so i couldn't use it for music, which i want. in front of the radio would be cool if i could get the pi screen flush with the bezel, but with the way my radio mounts there's no way to slide it back. I originally had a dual canbus hat for my pi, plan was to tie it into the car then use the touch screen to control stuff, or write an android app to connect to it to do stuff, but $100 canbus hat, fried its self and my pi lol, lost interest after that, still got the screen though, and pi's are getting cheap.
I did one for a friend where we pushed the head unit back and put the display in front, the screen covers a double DIN hole perfectly, but in my case I wanted it up high.
I want to do something like this, But I mostly just want the screen to display a big analog clock unless I put it in reverse, then I wan't the rear view.
Having trouble getting phone to connect after starting /home/pi/openauto/bin/autoapp. On the "Waiting for device: screen" I get an error message that says "Unable to open MTP device '[USB:001,029]' . I am using a Samsung Edge 7 phone and I don't have any problems if I am using the Crankshaft version of Android Auto. I would prefer to use your version but can't seem to connect. Help would be great. Thanks Danny
This is a great setup! Does everything I want to setup in my car. Waiting for the next video with the specifics of implementation. Need more insight on the specific wiring of power adapter/conversion, Mic integration with the (OK Google) voice functionality and more importantly the bluetooth setup on the Pi such that it can route voice/music from the Pi to the car head unit without aux audio. Thanks again for a great project.
I've been working on part 2 every night this week, just just finishing up filming some odds and ends, I should be done recording today and might even get it uploaded tonight. I won't be able to help you on the Bluetooth however, I couldn't get it to work reliably and pairing up each time the system is powered on is a nuisance, I used the auxiliary in on my head unit.
You are the winner of the HDMI to Camera Ribbon Adaptors. I appreciate your initiative to get the parts and build one yourself. Send me a message with your email address and maybe I can help you 3D print a camera enclosure for the back of the van too.

That is really nice that you have all this cool stuff. But what tutorial is it if you dont show how you actually did it... what a crap.
Perhaps the part 2 video where I show how to do it will answer your questions... 😁 ruclips.net/video/jFXxtxoi_pc/видео.html
Everlanders lol
I'm doing something similar and was wondering if you answer any questions about open auto
Is that your question?
Where did you see the word tutorial,?
What a crap.
if you are wondering about the plastic sheeting in the background it is purely to protect the sensitive equipment from blood spatter
That, but also to help the camera's auto-focus to stay in the foreground, and not hunt for focus with the junk on the shelves. :-)
Blood splatter
After watching Dexter, you will never see plastic sheets the same way again... :-D
You can speed up the build process by executing make with the -j -parameter. For example; 'make -j4' will use 4 threads for building.
These are the things I like to do in my free time , it’s my first viewing it greatly appreciated until next time .

Great Project ! Thank you for those videos and instruction. I was looking for something to install to my G20 Camper Van - This is awesome !
You are the winner of the HDMI to Camera Ribbon Adaptors. I appreciate your initiative to get the parts and build one yourself. Send me a message with your email address and maybe I can help you 3D print a camera enclosure for the back of the van too.
Awesome ! Thank you so much ! You've got Mail
And Thank you once more ! The Adaptors arived last weekend !! Will test them during this week !
Do you have 3D print files for a camera case, and is it waterproof?
