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.

if you are wondering about the plastic sheeting in the background it is purely to protect the sensitive equipment from blood spatter

These are the things I like to do in my free time , it’s my first viewing it greatly appreciated until next time .

10:57 OOooooh this thing into that thing.. thanks for clearing that up, got lost around there HEHE

Awesome work. You have got yourself a new subscriber from this video alone.

Dude, nice f****ing job..... nice to see the busted knuckles too. Not many people are mechanically and electronically inclined at the same time!

You can speed up the build process by executing make with the -j -parameter. For example; 'make -j4' will use 4 threads for building.

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.

Loved how neatly the project was executed and deployed. Fantastic!

This was great. I’m planning on doing this in my car when I Lyft/uber

Wow this guy almost made he is own custom infotaiment system. Its like the car can now run on windows 10 or smth. Great job man

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!

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

This is amazing! It’s exactly what I was looking for. I want to do this to a few of my vehicles. Great video!

It's been a while since I've seen one of your videos. Always greatly appreciated, cheers from OZ

I thought I was a nerd, I bow down. Great job

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.

Nice one! Thanks for putting it together Mate! That mechanical hand typing cracked me up! 🤣

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.

This is just amazing !!! I wish I had an assistant robot like yours. LoL :p

All of what you got with OBD II, and you've got one smart truck. Good job on the project! Thanks for sharing.

Such a clean install, honestly If it was grey like the rest of interior it would look factory

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!

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

Very impressive, inspirational. Thank you!

thats a really smart idea to mount it with magnets, havent thought about it, i am in the process of building my own system. thanks for the tip!

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.🤘

congrats on 1k subs! I was the thousandth subscriber! great video

That is just about as cool as cool can get for a DIY Project! Good job and thanks for sharing!

Great little multi purpose system. Looks great! I might have to try this in my truck.

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 Nerd is Strong in this one. good shit.

You are one smart cookie, Sir. Well done.

great project. will try something like that

That's a cool project, makes me want to do something similar.

Most thought out job, I have seen recently.

You remind me a lot of Turbo Yoda from Mighty Car Mods. Nice videos by the way, really cool to follow your works.

Is there no way to use bluetooth instead of a USB cable to connect the phone and it working?

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

You're a genius! Very impressed 👍

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)

I do not normally feel stupid, but now I do since listening to this guy... and he knows someone in France, WTF... I am a loser. Great job here man...

This is sweet. Thanks for the video

Great job! Kudos for writing your own scripts for some of these tasks

Great video and implementation. Giving me some ideas.

Great video. Now I want to go do this for a "dashcam" for all sides of the vehicle.

Very nice project!! thank you for sharing and looking forward to see more content on this subject. Cheers

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!

Loved the music. Thanks for the video.

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

GENIUS! Great job.

You listed 4 cameras. I know nothing about Raspberry Pi, but guess I need to learn. Can you set up a quad screen with 4 camera inputs?

Excellent tutorial. Thanks!

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

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.

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.

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...

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.

had the same idea but no know how ! thanks for the video !!

THAT'S A SWEET KEYBOARD YOU GOT THERE!

Love it! Please show more of your geeky videos!

Outstanding! I am going to use your ideas in my motorhome reconstruction. Thank you so very much.

Nice project, and nice Proleter song on the end..

This is exactly what i've been looking for!!!

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.

So cool. have this laying around. Hoping I can figure out how to make my own system. Thank you for the inspiration :D

tie in to the reverse light 12 volt source with a transistor to switch the back up camera

Very cool! Like the efforts.

u just got another new sub from the other side of the planet =D we all love the Pi's

The way you did the plywood enclosure is ideal to host a forward facing dash cam, so you can do crazy russian road videos... In US.

I’ve used a usb camera when running motion eye. Works well. Can one use usb cameras for other views, and record, for dash cams?

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?

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

Nice one mate!

Awesome job bud

Could tie into headlights or just have a light resistor and when it sees its dark, boom. Goes dim.

Excellent Work! keep up the cool projects.

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.

You've done a brilliant job, mate.

Great Project ! Thank you for those videos and instruction. I was looking for something to install to my G20 Camper Van - This is awesome !

Amazing! Thanks my friend! I wanted to do this since a long time ago

Step 1: Post a youtube video about Pi, Step2: ????, Step 3: Profits! You are wise in the ways of the gnomes! off to watch part2....

That’s killer! I want to do this.

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.

With brightness, wouldn't you be able to tie into the factory "dim" wire for aftermarket headunits?

I am SO doing this

excellent project!!!!

Nice project. i wonder is there any way to connect to this unit the stering wherl control and other CAN BUS features ?

Hey dude, thanks for the walkthrough! Any word on the script for screen brightness GIPO pin control? Working on an install for my car now and would love to have that same control

Thanks for sharing. Amazing work!

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!

Cool project I want to do it! A matte screen protector would probly cut the gare.

awesome job!

Great content, this. Good job.

Well damn. We just got a new truck with a navigation system and stuff built in. Wish we could've done this with out old truck

Holy cow dude, that is awesome. Nice job.

Thank you so much for the great video. Is it possible to use bigger screen? How do you add multiple cameras? Thanks again.

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?

Wow ! Very nice implementation !
