Adding Android Auto as Non-Permanent Add-On with Raspberry Pi -- Episode 520

Cars can last a long time, they certainly outlast the fast pace of tech advances. So I thought I'd see if I could add some modern conveniences to a slightly older car using a Raspberry Pi and Android Auto.

    Good question, I thought there was one in the attachments. Let me have a look and I'll see what I can find for you!

    Apologies for the delay, I took the time today to take it out to properly draw a scematic too. Long story short, there are screws fitted to captive nuts that grab onto the "shade" part of the dash and clamp down. To make sure they don't bite into the dash too much, I used a few spacers:

    Apologies for the delay! I have had some time off from the day job, so took the time to take it out and document it properly!

    Was wondering how you mounted this to the dash without destructively screwing in the mount, have you got any pictures of this? I was also wondering if you knew where would be best to look for some place that sell the screen without the Pi to make it a bit cheaper? I already have a couple Pi 3s lying around the house.

    This could not be more timely.  I have a 2013 Ford Focus (the radio actually is a piece of garbage), and the latest upgrade of my Pixel 5 to android 12, disabled the Android Auto over Bluetooth...
