just bought a 2014 silverado that dosent support android auto so this was my plan to make it work on the pi, and you summed it up perfectly when i was asked why go this route instead of swapping the head unit... because i can

[NovaspiritTech]

thanks for the shoutout buddy! awesome video!!

[DanielKorgel]

Awesome project! This far from point pointless when having a smartphone or tablet.
This is the perfect starting point for building your own android auto compatible double din radio unit, instead of buying one.
And when you have a pi in there anyway, this opens the door for lots of other interesting car-projects !

Definitely going in my car. Was just thinking about doing something like this. Thank you for making my job easier

Also, as a heads up for you and others reading, there was a new release today and the guy is going on a week break now, but he says the Bluetooth is in a basic working state (still a few bugs I think), and he's also figured out the stutter in the audio playing and some people says the map works better now too. I just bought a new 3b+ to combine with this so I can't wait to see the results

Just bought the parts to try this out today and it works surprisingly well. Only a few issues that will probably be fixed soon. First off, if you wish to implement this in a car stereo system, (replacing the entire head unit for this setup) there is absolutely no way of changing the volume level, unless I am missing something. Maybe an external knob to trigger a change in the volume level. Second of all, I've found that Pulsar, a music player, is the only app that you can use on Android Auto that will actually let you play music stored locally on your phone. Also, maybe it might be better to step up the screen resolution to a 1024x600 screen resolution. This might be just a personal opinion, but I think the extra pixels will make the interface look better. ( I'm currently using the official Raspberry 7 inch Touch screen). Although the official touchscreen would probably look more aesthetically pleasing with the black bars surrounding the borders compared to other screens without them if implementing into a 2 slot DIN for car stereos (leave some holes in the side edges). But I can't wait for bluetooth to be fixed and I will await further updates. That's all I've experienced so far. Thanks so much for making a video about this. Have been thinking about doing something like this for my car ever since Android Auto came out.

This is less pointless than you expect. I've an old motorbike, and this is a perfect permanent solution for satnav and music. Love it.

[BloodyIron]

I appreciate the effort you put into explaining each step and pointing out how things connect. Thanks!

[PokyPlays]

Looking at this since Driving Mode removed apps and Auto for phones is dead. Glad someone had a video on it.

[chomp]

for the love of god please follow up on this one a few times lol. There's a billion "retro pie on a pie in a [insert classic game system] shell!" videos out there now, the idea is kind of over played, stuff like this with real world uses is exactly what little SOC boards like this shine at, can't wait to see how this goes, super interested in doing a build like this myself depending on what the final capabilities end up being

[suraj.joneja]

Amazing! Thank you for amazingly clear step by step explanation!! I'm gonna build this! Love from India !❤

[Casey]

Everyone should love the raspberry pi, who wouldn't

[treypop]

This has literally been a dream of mine since Android Auto was announced. Can't wait for this to be more flushed out.

[luisnavarro]

this is a fantastic build and ill do it on my car the only thing missing here is a way to auto shut it off once the power is interrupted and turn it on when power is restored. it would be great if you make a video on how to install it on a car

[lucaspam]

Mount this setup in a 2-din case with a good amplifier and suddenly you own a top notch car stereo system to replace any old stereo in most cars.

[ysyoo]

I love your fist and second reason about why we do this.

[ticogis]

yeah ! i´m running it here on a RPI2 and works like charm ! I also saw it on NovaSpirt tech, that guy is really great.

[TechEd_]

So what ever happened to the followup video with this in your car?

[JoshRafail]

I would be excited to see how you put this in your car. That would be a video I would definitely be watching.

[kevin_delaney]

I've been thinking about doing this for a while, now that I know it's this easy I'm definitely going to do it.
