      No one should be using OpenAuto Pro, and you absolutely shouldn't be giving them publicity.
      Why? Because the developers are scumbags.
      OpenAuto is GPLv3. This means that any project based off of it MUST also be GPLv3. Which means that the source code MUST be provided when software is distributed.
      OpenAuto Pro "...is an extended version of OpenAuto..." But it has an entirely different license, and BlueWave Studio will not release their source. github.com/f1xpl/openauto/wiki/OpenAuto-Pro
      That is not OK. You cannot closed source a GPLv3 project just because you don't want other people to redistribute it.
      The WHOLE POINT of a copy-left license is that other people can view/change/redistribute stuff.
      In-fact, GPLv3 literally allows YOU to sell copies, or make any changes you want to THEIR software (as long as you indicate your changes, and your release is also GPLv3).

      ​@@everythingcool101 No. Nothing like that.
      They have a project that was released with an open license. This license legally requires them to do things, and forbids them from doing other things.
      Yet, they are doing the things they aren't allowed to do, and NOT doing things they ARE required to do.
      It's a perfect example of fucking up an open license. It's not about the money. It's about the obligations that come with being open. And what happens when you ignore all those obligations.

    Awesome, man! i've been thinking about making a build like this myself, was holding back and waiting for a properly working android build for Pi. I haven't found a head unit for my car that i'd actually like for almost 10 years now. thats frustrating that you have to build something yourself to make it actually good. My plan was to not use a built in amp, since my speakers are powered by an amp anyway. And i'd like to find a proper good sounding sound card for the pi, and one thing i have to solve is that i definitely need a rotary volume switch and maybe couple of buttons for next and previous tracks.

This let me know that only quality LCDs should be used. I've been running an RPI (3?) with Openauto Pro in the car for years now with the official 7" RPI screen, and it's worked very well except when Google updates their software and it breaks for a little bit.

    Hell yeah a tech channel and car channel. Will go together. I picked up a raspberry pi cuz I'm interested in learning a little bit more about PCS programming, coding, networking and all the other little things that are involved with it LOL. Not trying to be some mad computer scientist but I do have an interest in it. All of that because I have a love for cars and I want to understand the electrical system a little better. I have two cars that are from 1988 very little Electronics in them. So making the stereo out of a Raspberry Pi is dope. I'm also interested in a GPS for the cars made out of a Raspberry Pi. The ECU in my 88 Chevy is tunable and I would like to make something out of the Raspberry Pi to get live readings of the ECU. The reason I want to use the Raspberry Pi is because a laptop is just too big. If I can make something like that the more than likely I would just mount it in the dash with a 7-10in IPS touchscreen display. So yeah the 2 channels would work. If anything I want I want to is is possible and you know let me know.

    I like your project! Looks great. Did you consider extending the front out so you could mount a much larger screen? You could also add standoff's to raise the raspberry pi up a few mm to assist with heat dissipation. If you need to adjust the base plate to allow for the height, you can add side 'wings' and lower the base plate and use the wings as new attachment points to the double din metal frame. The wings could be 3d printed and glued or screwed to the base plate, then tapped and screwed to the metal frame. This would give you whatever height you might need and allow for better heat dissipation. You might even add a layer of insulation between the pi and the base plate to protect the plastic. Perhaps drill some ventilation holes in the base plate to assist with airflow, even making a back plate for the lower area and add an intake fan, and add an exhaust fan up high to get that airflow. Again, with standoffs, if you have holes drilled below the pi, the flowpath will have cooler air pulled in from below, then up through the holes, thus cooling the back of the pi, then out the top or the back plate. It would require 2 more fans, but you could easily run much larger fans - even perhaps have them controlled by the pi with a couple of temperature thermocouple's/sensors placed wherever you think best - It should be no big deal to add fan speed profiles etc... Good stuff! Call me impressed.

    I wouldn't suggest this to most people, but you're nerdy enough. You should drop a CAN-BUS Tx/Rx into the mix (there's even a great hat for the Pi). You can then access the car's data bus directly, and gain control over everything, including environmental, and any other electronics in the car (steering wheel controls!). The accessible OBD-2 ports block a lot of data and are largely read-only. With a performance car like your WRX, you'd get gobs of awesome data straight from the ECM. It also has the added benefit of being able to wire into the stock wiring harness nice and clean. You may have to Wireshark your bus to sniff the variables for awhile and map them, but totally, totally worth it.

      if you build it right your display for your Raspberry Pi will conk out before the Raspberry Pi will. especially if you mounted in a location like underneath the seat or in the trunk area or someplace where there's more air flow that is needed to cooling down the chipset, it will be able to keep up far better than some head units.
      due to all the HVAC and other items that are there underneath the dash and the fact that it usually doesn't have very good ventilation heat gets trapped especially when you use a full size double DIN stereo. there just isn't very much ventilation for the amplifier and the components back there.
      however with the way he has his system setup , with that cooler being involved and cooled by the Raspberry Pi itself the only modification I would make for temperate climates would be to mount the amplifier on top and the Raspberry Pi on the bottom. in all actuality it's not going to make that much of a difference but that's the only suggestion I would make if running in the configuration that he has it in.
      I often had problems with my phone overheating and shutting down while I was in California so I just basically bought a white Samsung S3 and that's pretty much all I had to do. every once in awhile I would get a battery temperature warning that it would not charge but other than that I didn't really have any problems with it shutting down and I use that as my main source unit for my audio in my van for over a year.
      for the rest of you that have Double-Din head units trying not using the audio amplifier on board and use the RCA outs to an outboard amplifier or you can mount in a cool place and install a fan for air flow.
      if nothing else you can do what I had to do a while ago in a very special build where I had to install tubing and a PC fan to the back of the head unit and extra fans on the back of the head unit and with an exhaust that was tapped into the HVAC system or exited out of one of the vents. that was Overkill but there's always a solution

    Very neatly explained. I will soon start installing openauto in my car.
    The only thing I can't find is that on your drawing and the script for the esp. Only 1 wire goes to the relay. But in your video I see 2 wires.
    I understand that's for the double relay. 1 for the gpio and 1 for the global_en. But I don't see whether that has been incorporated into the script that I have to put on the esp.
    Thank you for the clear explanation. Keep it up

    How is the audio for calls? One major issue with so many after-market head units are the terrible audio quality for calls (and many cause feedback between the speakers & mic) - if this solution can bring 'first class' audio when driving, then this is a huge game changer! Also, have you figured out if this can handle steering wheel controls?

    You may want to put a little delay on the relay to turn on the relay. Reason for this is because when you start the car you'll get accessory feed for a few seconds, lose it while cranking the engine and get it back once the key is released from the start position.
    Basically causing the Pi to start booting, get interrupted and then start booting again

      @@NovaspiritTech Might even consider doing a longer delay. I have looked down this rabbit hole and considered scripts so when I pull in at home, it can connect to home wifi. Sync music/media for awhile while the car is off and have the shut down script let that happen for 15-30 minutes or so.
      This would also give you coverage for like "stopping to get gas, running in the store to grab a soda or something." just long enough that quick stops don't make you wait for head unit to boot. granted, the pi4 isn't the slowest boot either lol. not like back in the day of a car PC taking a solid minute.

      I'm planning some sort of variation on this. I've bought a Rockpi4c, and a 128gb NVME drive, 7 inch screen, USB GPS Receiver and running Android 10 on that. For the radio, i'm planning to put a 4g dongle and use something like TuneIn or similar. And on the audio side, maybe the correct thing to do is just using a decent sound card, and rely on a cheap nice sounding car stereo hidden somewhere else. Another way to do it, is using a toslink output, and put a multichannel micro amp with DSP like the
      Match PP 86DSP, Mosconi D2 100.4 DSP, or one of the many chinese amps with the same functionalities.

    Anyway, great video, really informative. I was thinking about the heat. Maybe flipping it, putting the amp on top and the raspi on the bottom. Also maybe putting the, on separate panels. Like add a second plate to the very bottom of he frame and put the raspi there. Heat sinks should always be aiming upward too.

Like having triggers for my doors to open after the windows have rolled down some, if speed is under 5mph for backup and forward cameras to come into display, controlling LED lights, that sort of thing. This seems to fit the bill perfectly. I was wondering if you ever did put the backup camera in?

    OpenAuto rear-view defaults to the Raspberry Pi Camera (with the flat ribbon cable connector). There's a Pi-KVM project that recommends TC358743 boards for HDMI to pi-camera port. Then you can chain it with a cheap composite to HDMI converter. It's a bit roundabout, but probably the easiest solution.

    but what if 12V is cut whille actually cranking the engine. since you are using arduino to manage power on/off, you could set the turn on delay for desired amount of time. I have been using openauto pro allmost since the beginning, without any unnecesery modules and arduinos (and when ambient temp were bellow 10 degrees celsius, all 12V were cut to provide max ammount of power to engine starter). I managed to get save shutdown and powerup with just 2 car relays and a 5V timer relay. (sadly my new cars sound system is controlled via canbus, otherwise I would have installed openauto pro for sure).
