Spyathe Donating Members 872 Member For: 11y 3m 5d Gender: Male Posted 27/01/15 10:14 AM Share Posted 27/01/15 10:14 AM If you're talking about the entire carputer then it depends on how you want it setup and what you want, GPS, built in FM tuner, use hubs etc, but that's the easy part, tapping into the fords satnav plug is pisseasy, getting the cga converter setup was slightly fiddly getting the colours just right. It's just time consuming really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would just use the normal radio. I'd pay a few hunge installed I like this sort of solution though, fully upgradable as tech changes, unlike inbuilt tech that will age so quickly. Also be way ahead of what car makers build into their entertainment systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,192 Member For: 16y 9m 25d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 28/01/15 04:51 AM Share Posted 28/01/15 04:51 AM Might attempt this one day. It looks do-able. Raspberry Pi is quite a powerful/useful bit of kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyathe Donating Members 872 Member For: 11y 3m 5d Gender: Male Posted 28/01/15 05:50 AM Share Posted 28/01/15 05:50 AM It really is, once you wrap your head around the fact that it is so far from windows it's not funny, it may have a "desktop environment" but that's as far as it goes.Me personally, if there was another platform that was as cheap and did everything that I needed I would throw the pi in the bin, or use it as a media server. I'm quite savvy when it comes to computers but trying to code with Linux can go EAD IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't done it personally but it looks to be a PITA.Once you get your head around terminal and all that its easy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to give this a crack. I have the pi 2 b+, cga converter and other bits on the way. Saw a YouTube video showing ps 1, n64 and Nintendo emulation on the pi 2. Will be awesome waiting for the mrs now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
