Great videos. I'm looking at a build. Why are you still using a Bluetooth dongle when the Pi4 has BT 5.0 built in? I haven't used my Pi with BT so have no experience with the quality of connection is why I'm asking.
Loving the video's man really helping a noob out. Question have you played with a custom splash screen for openauto? Ive been messing around with it but cant seem to get it working.
Nice to see it upgraded to a pi 4 my question for you is why use a dac when you have Bluetooth? Is quality better and what have you done for start up and shut down do you have to take it out and do it manually
The DAC was to improve the connection between the pi and my stereo/headunit setup. Not really needed, but I thought it'd be a fun project. To exit AA, tap the "apps" icon (last one bottom right) and choose Exit. From there use the normal OAP shutdown menu
Nice video, I was about to order my own buck converter to get the voltage down to 5.1. Your solution seems to provide a 12 volt output from this usb quick charger. Am I missing something?
This takes the 12V from my fuse box to something the Pi can use, (which would be the 5V 3A) that the charger can provide with a convenient standard USB port. As mentioned here, before I would actually strip a USB cable and wire it into the buck converter. That works, but it sucked when I needed to replace the cable.
Ditch booting from the SD Card… the interface is SSLLOOWW Use a high quality USB3 Thumb Drive. DON’T use the “dime-a-dozen” cheapos…. They ARE NOT worth the hassle. Get a Samsung or Sandisk.. For max speed, you should use a USB3-attached SSD.. check the forums for a properly-working cable, though. Some USB-SATA cables are problematic, other are useless. N.B., The standard 2.5” SSD’s are fast, and a cheaper option. The NVM-style are faster, smaller and more $$, and they max out the USB3 bus speed. I don’t find the speed boost is worth the $$ boost over 2.5” form-factor. YMMV
@@efboiz5302 Umm, I think you got something Wrong. You only need two RCA for Stereo, I doubt that you want to use 5.1 in your Car... I have 12 (6RCA, 6 HiLevel) Inputs and I only need 2 of them for my Soundsystem. (Btw, I actually use zero because of optical...)
@@eightbitJuan …3.5mm to RCA were bog-standard at all Radio Shack, Fry’s, Car Audio installers, Hi-Fi shops, Ham radio shops…. RCA, 1/4”, 1/8”, 3/8”, DIN, XLR both balanced & unbalanced, etc etc… difficult to find these days….
hey I am thinking of doing this for a summer project. would you mind making a step by step video of installing open auto pro on the raspberry pi 4?

OAP website states that a USB dongle is a “requirement”…. Sad…

Do you have a backup camera connected to it? If you did how did you connect it to the pi?
good to know of the difference in the performance bewteen the rpi3b+ and the 4. Thanks
How did you connect a microphone to the pi if the hifi berry only has an audio output

Is there a solution for the slow ass boot?

I'm having issues too with the OBD2 I'm on number five of my OBD 2 devices....
Died you watched the yt Videos on bluewavestudios Channel about obd 2?
How would you go about this if you wanted to output audio to a amp with RCA inputs?
There are Hifiberry DACs with RCA if I recall correctly.
Otherwise you'd need something like a 3.5mm to RCA cable (if that's a thing)
@@eightbitJuan There is, but only 2. A typical 5 channel amp would need 6 rca's :/

The link us down i can't access the openauto link
Updated now. Thanks for the heads up!
