Adding new functionality to the Golf MK5 :)
It allows you to retrofit Apples Carplay into your old car and do much more :)
For example, you can also interface with the Cluster to Display custom messages and menus or track data from the car
Since we don't get any new Maps this is a perfect fit to modernize your car while keeping a stock look without crappy chinese hardware.
This project exploits the fact that the MFD2 switches into aux mode (controlled by the vswitch pin) where we can supply a video signal and get all button inputs regardless of how fast the car drives
- Raspberry Pi (2 is tested)
- Automotive grade (filtered) step down converter (12v->5v)
- USB Soundcard
- CAN to SPI board
- A handful of optokoplers, resistors and Nch-Mosfets
- 1-2 Relays if you want to switch power to your Sub/Camera
- Autobox dongle
- USB cvbs dongle (if you want a rear view cam)
- Hdmi to VGA dongle (connect like Here)
- Some beer to handle your depression while assembling all this
It should be compatible, since it has the same video input too.
The only difference is, that "VSwitch" is missing, meaning that we either have to simulate a TV Tuner and unlock the speed limit or Simulate a rear view camera
(If someone has CAN dumps this would be really helpful)
- Complete (and test) the C# Codebase
- Make a "all in one" Pi Hat
