Pi plus screen is around £100, the canbus hat can be had for around £30, then it’s just the small extras, power supply etc etc. I guess most people who would be looking to do it may already have a pi laying around! WIP Website |

That's brilliant! So good to see the Pi getting some mileage in this context; they're really good fun, and very rewarding to play with. For some reason I'm fascinated with all the data our cars generate, so being able to tap in to all the sensors and data streams is very appealing to me. I too will be following your progress with great interest. Feel free to post more pictures of your install and the other challenges.

But not a Pi4, because we're not millionaires ![]() |

Hello rhys_m, you have done a great job, but it seems to me that of any android headunit + canbus adapter will be more functional.

Thanks @smartgauges I’ve read pretty much everyone of your posts in drive2! The main part of this project is around the jaguar XF which is much more complex of a replacement, and I am not really a fan of the Chinese offerings! The Freelander 2 is a nice car to move it over to as it’s much more simple.

Have been meaning to drop the cash on the Xtrons at some point, but much more excited about this.

Yeah its quite straightforward, the width of the official screen is agonisingly close to being perfect, I just had to tickle the edges of the vents to squeeze it in. MOST bus is coming on well, it's going to add a huge amount of functionality to it. WIP Website |

This is a great project Rhys - you've already got lots done from the looks of things.

Pardon my ignorance, this is well outside my field of understanding, but what do you hope to achieve with all this ?

I could buy maps to load onto my factory screen... but they'd be old and rather pricey. So my screen sits there taking up a load of real estate but has zero functional use for me.
