Next step: hook into car's CAN BUS and grab all the info. And if you have factory steering wheel buttons, you can just use them instead of the custom made keyboard.

You can also tap the illuminate signal from your car radio wires to adjust the screen brightness. It's a signal which becomes high when your headlights are on and low when your headlights are off.

I remember the old days of Carputers and it is crazy how the Raspberry Pi miniaturizes the physical size requirements to computing power. To note, the ash tray lighter could provide the 12 volt and there would be an "ignition on" in the factory radio to splice into. A slick paint job to match the silver of the center console would really give a great final touch, maybe a two tone with the face plate being silver and the remaining pieces of the case a mat-black finish. All and all nice job. Something to potentially integrate is a backup camera and one of the hand knobs in your cup holder like seen in a BMW.

No, no, no... not fm... as i see, it is Laguna and afaik you can fool that radio to think it has cd changer connected. Way better audio quality.

@LiviuPavel 5 жыл бұрын

@ꀯ don't say that again, FM is nothing like CD quality, CD quality is frequency response 20-20000Hz (22000 actually), FM is 20-15000, and the dynamic range is ruined by the noise floor which is much higher on FM (that is bad, you want the noise floor to be very low, the background hiss that is).

@robertgresham3489 4 жыл бұрын

@ꀯ The point of this should never be to do something easy but to do something good. FM for this is gross, like really gross. Chuck that factory head unit in the garbage where it belongs, use something like a hifi berry as a preamp and run that to an amp under the passenger seat. The factory speaker wire is always trash, run some 0 gauge wire to some good quality speakers and now you have VASTLY superior audio quality than the factory trash.

@Cmlumley123 6 жыл бұрын

Awesome setup! The only question I have is why would you want to run the audio through an fm transmitter rather than hard wiring the dac to an amp going to your speakers. A lot of cars come with an external amp already that you could wire line Input or use rca cables. Depending on where you drive you will probably have to adjust the fm transmitting station due to interference.

@MHBGT 6 жыл бұрын

Agreed, he mentioned not using the RPI's audio out because of quality, but the FM transmitter will butcher the quality anyway.

@PacmansRevenge 6 жыл бұрын

I favoured the educational aspect over pure audio quality. I was curious about FM synthesis, and I wanted to learn about it. You are right about interference. I have implemented a script that automatically scans the FM spectrum, measuring the input power detected on each channel. The script determines which channel measures the lowest and tunes the transmitter there. If I get interference, I can hop to a free channel with the tap of a button. It works well.

@stewartrv 6 жыл бұрын

The other issue is that the bandwidth is narrower and the noise levels much higher using FM. There are a ton of "AUX-in" cables available that would allow you to connect the DAC straight to the Radio and take advantage of much better sound quality and no need to tune any radio channel. Just switch to alternative input like CD/Aux etc. You can find a bunch here on ebay: www.ebay.ie/sch/Aux-in-Interface-Cables/174118/i.html?_sop=3&_mPrRngCbx=1&_nkw=renault+radio+cd But I like what you did here for the most part! Good job :)

@stewartrv 6 жыл бұрын

It doesn't require any modification to the dash or surrounds at all. I had an old tape playing radio and found a suitable cable that simply plugs into the back and has a stereo socket to plug into iPhone/iPhone or in this case RaspPi DAC! :) You have to pull the radio out temporarily and plug in the cable to radio and then DAC and then its all done. The quality is waaaay better like a CD rather than the hiss from FM radio. (You can let the cable drop down and then fish it out from under the centre console via the ash tray too I guess - usually its just a big gap behind there! It's worth searching online to see if there is an Aux in or CD changer option etc. My Radio was prob way older an it could be added so you never know! On mine I select CD Changer and get the Aux in (it thinks this interface is still used by the CD Changer that would have been fitted in the back)

@CasperUK31 6 жыл бұрын

I'm only a couple of minutes in and that is all I can think about. FM transmitters are absolute garbage for audio quality. Why oh why not just take the unit out and use the audio/line in on the back. Even a head unit from about 1980 would have one.

The OBD-II reader could be added with a $5 bluetooth OBD-II module and some software.

I noticed lot of unnecessary stuff for this project: 1. Real time clock - Raspberry pi already has a time clock. 2. DAC - Raspberry pi has 3.5mm audio jack, use that for audio! You free up so much GPIO pins for other things. 3. FM transmitter - Raspberry pi can do FM radio on GPIO 4. and it will sound decent, but you have to write your own custom code for playing playlist. 4. 2 light sensors - Why 2? One light sensor is enough. 5. Bluetooth dongle - Raspberry pi already has WiFi and Bluetooth? 6. Adafruit trinket - You could use Arduino pro micro to save costs. they are like 4 dollars as opposed to 7 dollars. 7. raspberry pi 2. Raspberry pi 3 or 4 is better in any way. Better Bluetooth etc. Couple of criticism for how project was done. 1. Auto brightness control - The dimming is very slow. 2. Screen placement - You said that you didn't want to look down, because it would be dangerous, congratulations, you failed. Installing the screen in front of a clock is far better solution. What would I add 1. Car monitoring - Able to see how well car is doing, measuring its speed and etc. 2. Weather - Able to see weather, such as if road is iced etc.

Recommendation on the touch screen, mount it somewhere asap. The screen is actually glued onto the rest of the frame and pressure on the screen's outer edge while the screen is warm and running can cause the glue to soften and the screen to drift. Not only does this impact how the image is centered in the frame, it can also impact the touch location. Great video!

@PacmansRevenge 6 жыл бұрын

The screen is not glued. It is inserted in a recess on the back of the front panel, and held in place by two brackets (centre of the screen at approximately 17:31) and four screws. It's very solid.

Ok, I really like this project. Other than the music. ;) I've been thinking about doing something like this for a long time, A few things I would have done differently tho. Definitely not the FM audio, but seems to work nicely so Kudos. The placement would have been nicer along the top in your eyeline. Replaced the clock. Seems to out of the way for Navigation behind the shifter. I would have rather seen a Heads up display. Something I've played with a bit. Fairly easy to accomplish, the screen just reflects off of the windshield. A cheap coating on the windsheild would help. ODBII Info and Nav displayed right on your windshield would be AWESOME and to really push it over the top add Amazon Alexa Voice. That would require Internet, but that could work with the phone or a myfi device for $20/month stream music, etc. Good job. Questions tho, why did you go with an external USB for the Map data, why not keep that data on the internial MicroSD card? You could update it via WiFi right over the internet while parked if needed. Also, why go with the older R Pi and add a bluetooth dongel when the Pi 3 has this integrated? Some more add-ons Could also implement the R Pi cam for a Dash Cam, or add a Reverse cam with a little more hardware. None of this is critisim of your project, which was good and functions where as mine is 100% in my head and will probably never be built. lol Good work.

@PacmansRevenge 6 жыл бұрын

A lot of great suggestions, thanks! A HUD would be so cool indeed! I used a USB stick because I realized that Navit performs A LOT of map reads while driving, and I was afraid of wearing my SD card off soon. On my installation it will be much easier to replace a dead USB stick rather than the main SD card.

That would be something very cool too.

If you put a screw in the brass nuts while gluing them in, then it won't fill the threads, and it gives you a handle to put them in. Wait for the glue to be hard enough to hold shape, but not hard enough to keep the screw in place, and then remove the screw. Hope this helps for future projects.

Very nice ideas! How was loading all of the software and did it require tweaking to work right? Far better nav system than what Renault offers and the best part is that upgrades don't cost an arm and a leg! I wonder of the Renault nav system housing for my 2006 Megane sedan will accommodate the Pi screen. Will make an install like this look factory in my car. I have also added cruise control to my car since everything is basically there when one orders the high tier models. All that's missing is the airbag and controls for cruise control. Big problem with Renault is that they do not have any plugged opening between the engine compartment and the passenger compartment.Any idea if you could do a wireless keyboard for this system which would fit on the steering wheel instead of being mounted on the steering column? You might also look into hooking the audio signals directly into the car factory radio. Most Renaults have an aux input and inputs on the back of the radio. One needs to activate the Aux input in the radio serup mode.

Why not use the GPS in place of the RTC? GPS time is commonly used on many military and civilian Computing systems where accuracy is critical.

Do you have any tips on getting the curvature of your car interior? What about adding a backup or dash camera?

Great video! I've been toying with the idea of putting my Pi into my minivan but my "maker" skill if you will is pretty noob. This video and your blog should be of great assistance in the project. I subscribed and belled. Looking forward to your next vids and You're awesome!

I've always wanted to add some sort of thing to my car like this, and being i have a pi 3 just laying around, i'm going to give it a try. I am wondering thou, how does the screen handle the summer heat? Will the screen prematurely die?

Good luck with your project! I expect the screen to suffer from heat, and there is very little I can do. It also depends on where you park your car: summer in Scandinavia is different than, say, Arizona.
