A DIY in-car computer based on Raspberry Pi has been published on the Raspberry Pi website by Rob Zwetsloot.
It needs a Raspberry Pi 3B or 3B+ mini PC equipped with an official Raspberry Pi 7-inch Touchscreen Display together with a SmartiPi Touch case, AutoPi Dongle with OBD-II Extension Cable, AutoPi Raspberry Pi 3 Adapter, 2 × GoPro adhesive mounts, Raspberry Pi Camera Module and SmartiPi assembly.
The AutoPi hardware comprises two parts: the adapter board that slots onto the Raspberry Pi like a HAT, and the OBD-II dongle.
The Raspberry Pi is powerful enough to handle simple telemetry, dash-cam recording, GPS, and and thanks to AutoPi you can control it using a cloud-based service.
One of the ultimate mods for modern cars is to replace or upgrade the entertainment system. This can range from something as small as adding new speakers, to replacing the stock stereo, or – in our case – creating a custom car computer (also known as a ‘carputer’) purpose-built for your car.
