been looking at doing this for the last few weeks.

getting an android pc in the car which links to and displays on the OEM head unit.

nearly there :thumbs:

 

Just got to get the screen resolution bettter

Posted

Thats the HKS Camp2 system which is about $600

Its essentially the same as what I will achieve for about £80.

Ill have an android stick pc linking to an obdII reader via wifi input through the av on the OEM monitor with the handbrake and speed sensor bypassed.

This will then run carista or torque etc on the inbuilt screen while the car is moving.

 

I had it all rigged last week but have sent back the android stick for a different one as it kept freezing.

I also need a better HDMI to av composite converter as the resolution of the one I have is not good enough.

 

Ill post a list of the bits once I have them sorted.

Might get a android myself, sounds like a good idea.

I was using this

http://www.ebay.co.u...edcd1aa57��

Quad core 8 gig stick with the "RK3188 A9" chip but the ROM was unstable so its been returned but the post office seem to have lost it even though its tracked......

 

I have just had this

http://www.amazon.co...i_detailpages00

one cancelled by amazon as its out of stock "T003 A10S" its a single core but has an AV composite out as that will stop me having to use a converter from HDMI

 

I am using a mini wifi keboard/mouse

http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2c7f4696f9

which works well and sits behind the sun visor when not in use to use the apps as I havent got the touch screen linked in yet - Dash out again I expect!

 

This AV converter was useless and went back also

http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2598181832

 

 

So I'm now looking for another mini PC to use, preferably with an AV composite output.

 

 

The search continues......

What about using a Raspberry Pi?

Could do, but the android pc will allow everything you do on your smart phone through the play store ans all your current apps will be available along with email google maps etc etc.

Not really up with the Pi either

I have tried another android pc but again had stability issues.

I am busy at the moment trying to get to the bottom of my emission problems and running rich on one bank..

 

Ill pick this up again once that is sorted.

I am looking into a similar use of the screen too. I did start looking into the Pi, but so far cannot find a nice looking ODBII UI.

I am looking to get a reverse cam/video input splitter (seen them in the other Nissan forum). This will then allow for a second video input for gauges. I ran a Mini ATX PC in my 350z which was great, but looking for something even smaller/simpler this time as tech is so small now.
