turning a double din 6.5 touchscreen kenwood with garmin to run android.

Former Member

I have an older 6.5 inch Kenwood navi system and I think the power supply went to crap. What I would like to.do is set it up to run android and still keep the DVD and radio playback plus my own custom app to allow complete control over the air ride setup for a car I'm building. The air ap needs to be able to display air pressure inside each air ride bag plus the main pressure tank that feeds the system. I would also like the program to be able to set when the compressor turn on and off on the fly depending on the air pressure the sender is sending back to the program. Plus have preset ride heights based on pressure in the air bags. On and definitely would want to keep the Garmin nav that's built into it now. I know it runs on Windows ce with kenwoods own skin on it. If you guys think it would be best to just keep Windows on it so I can keep thinks like radio CD/DVD playback and Garmin let me know. Main thing is trying to figure out how to upload the air control program into the ce environment with kenwoods skin. I know keenwoods latest nav units run on android but don't feel like turning a 2000 dollar unit into a paper weight. Any thought ideas comment would greatly be appreciated. this thing is just sitting in a closet so if I brick it oh well. I'll have to look later today to find out the model number. But I also have a Kenwood end 7180 that in 7 inch with blutooth and hd radio that I really want to do this to. I know I'm gonna need a seporate controller for the air ride stuff so any guidance for either if these would be great.

 

Thanks a lot

Steve
