How come we haven't seen a wave of aftermarket double DIN android based radio replacements yet? Android seems like the obvious platform for a new head unit. Foxconn should be able to hack the Moto Xoom's guts in to something within a week. Its even called the Xoom! Come on Mazda. All it needs is some custom sound processing and maybe an external GPS hook up and your car would be a million times more awesome. Forget an extra $2k for Sync or OnStar, you could buy a $5 app to steer your car with your phone!
Sorry that got a little rant-y there but does anyone know of any manufacturers working on this?

You sir, have just earned your first thanks for posting this. We seldom see noobs posting something useful as a first topic, and here is proof that you are not all bad.
Back on topic:
I've been thinking about the same thing, maybe we can just hack it in like a car XBMC? Any car nut think that this will be possible?
Ya this would be awesome. I seriously wish everything I use ran android, including my toaster

One day, I'm gonna retire and build an entire networked house. The moment I stop snoozing my alarm, the toaster will start, the coffee machine will start, and everything else will start.
Then I'd bang my wife and drink sucky coffee, but it'll be worth it.
This could in theroy be VERY possible. Id work on it for my truck but i dont have near enoughbfunds, time, or equipment.

I'm liking these ideas. Integration is good and we could have Android in almost anything, controlled by our phones. Keep the ideas coming

Erm... I would think that only certain non-safety-critical stuff be controlled via Android. Like the entertainment system. I don't want my Android to FC the braking application, nor would I like the Accelerator app to have a memory overflow.

I have been wondering the same thing and had searched Google extensively a few weeks ago. There is one really simple single-DIN with a tiny teeny screen that runs Android, but I want a double-DIN with 7" LCD and built-in navigation.
Perhaps the problem is the open-source nature of Android? Big companies like Pioneer, JVC, Sony, Kenwood, etc. very much want to keep their products as closed as possible. I know Pioneer is kind of like Apple, they use custom chips for everything. I have an AVIC-Z3 navigation HU, and I think the only way anyone knew it uses a Hitachi SH4 processor is by disassembling the code. All the chips are Pioneer branded with Pioneer part numbers on them.
Of course, that begs the question of why no Chinese company has come up with an Android HU. After all, it's free and far cheaper for them to use than having to write a crappy proprietary OS or using Windows CE as many do.
It's too bad there aren't any hackers in the car navigation scene. If people can figure out how to boot Android on WinMo devices, I'm pretty sure the same skill set would work on car navigation as most run Windows Automotive (WinCE).
Oh, and there do exist a few double-DIN Car PCs that normally run XP. I don't know where to actually buy one, but something like that could easily run Android. The fact that they will use an x86 processor is no biggie considering Android apps all run in the Dalvik VM.
Thanks for the thanks...I think?
Anyway I'm working on this project for my BMW. BMW's from the mid 90's to the mid 00's have a serial bus that controls all entertainment functions (volume control, mode, HVAC). It's been throughly hacked with most of the codes available around the internet. I'm designing a hardware interface based on the sparkfun IOIO (which isn't actually in production yet) to talk to the bus with samsung tab. It should replicate all stock functionality plus all of what can be done with android. And the tab fits in the stock location! Of course, it'll only work with the previous generation of BMWs so there is still room for an all purpose solution...
As for stock stereos, Chevrolet is supposed to partner with google to put android in the new Volt. Maybe that will spurr a wave of awsomeness.
Just spotted these when sourcing for an double din player.

Well seems like someone has come up with something. If you have a BMW/Audi/Merc you can get a Dynavin replacement head unit that runs android
http://www.dynavin.com/index.php
I'm not sure how customizeable it is but its out there.

damm, i want one of these. awesome find!
Been looking for something like this myself for the past 2 months. I've found a similar product (pretty much the same dynavin unit, only this one is for sale ) and it's mounted on a Rover 75 which kinda' gives me a bit of hope that it's not BMW/Merc/Audi only (I own a 2004 Passat). It's a bit too expensive for me atm but maybe someone else is interested (and has the funds to actually get it). You can also add a rear view camera and it integrates nicely with the steering wheel controls (at least that's what they say).
http :// autogpsdvds.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=135
I am very tempted to buy it but this would be my first head unit and I really want it to be an Android one (I've been really pleased with my Android phone so far). Any advice would be really appreciated. Also, how much does it usually cost to have it installed?
Cab anyone recommend a UK sourced HDMI cable which can be used with the special USB slot in the Nook Colour please? Thinking of getting Netflix
From what I recall, previous discussions pretty much ended with
"not possible"
If someone can correct me I'd be extremely pleased.
Nope, Nook doesn't have the hardware to support it.
Sent from space
Yea, I don't think that's possible, plus the nook is pretty slow when it comes to netflix anyway, just HDMI connect a laptop if you have one, or game console. I would recommend a Dynex wire, cheap, but I've had 4 for the last two months for all of my hd consoles and tv's, no problems and exceptional video quality.
Newegg has cheap HDMI cables too.

Essentially, it looks like there is a way to get android to write the framebuffer to the USB port, and some converters to get that out as a display, but I do not have anywhere near the skills to get it working and the adapters were prohibitively expensive for the gain.
My verdict is; Possible, but very unlikely.
You could get a Raspberry Pi and connect it to your Nook (or any tablet without HDMI) through WiFi. At only $35 or so (assuming you already have a WiFi router to plug it into), it's a very affordable solution. The software side would be tricky. I suppose you could just install Linux and a VNC server on the Raspberry Pi...

For a good streamer. I am using modded atv2 (appletv) it supports netflix w/o anything else, plug and play. I use it everyday and with my NC supporting airplay .
Hello, i have a 7 in display that i took off of a broken lenovo thinkpad tablet and i am looking to connect it to my raspberry pi. I know i need the HDMI-LVDS converter. I'm just looking for an easy fix, so maybe you can summon up some sites that offer a how to with a buying option that gives me the wires and the HDMI-LVDS converter. I don't need the screen though.
I'm hoping to get the screen powered via the power to the PI. I'm going to connect this rig to my car so if you may be able to give me a site that will give me a power adapter that will connect via usb and give me enough power to power the PI and the screen.
It took me a while to find the exact tablet i am going to use but i have found it. i have taken the screen off a Lenovo Ideapad A1 22282EU 7-Inch Tablet.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
also I know this is a question but i could not find a good place to put it other than here.. i will keep everyone updated on my progress as i build though. If there is a better place can you please move it?
Thanks.
I just recently started a similar project. Dead Dell laptop that I harvested for it's 17" screen. You need to start by getting the datasheet for your lcd panel. Google should help with that.
I ended up having to go to ebay to find an hdmi converter board. I had to shop around and speak to a few sellers to ensure their converter board was compatible with my lcd panel. And then I still had to purchase a separate AC adapter to power the converter board.
Here's the seller I ended up going through:
http://stores.ebay.com/chinatobby
Keep in mind that the project I'm working on isn't going into a car, so I wasn't as focused on the portability side of things as you seem to be.
I did do a quick search when I saw your question and came across this product.
http://www.chalk-elec.com/?page_id=1280#!/~/product/category=3094861&id=14647633
Looks like they have an HDMI-LDVS converter with a usb port to power the Pi, but I have no idea whether your panel is supported, or even when they will be back in stock.
I'm not recommending this site (I've never shopped there), just letting you know what I found on a quick Google search.
Hope this helps.
Check out adafruit.com they have tons of documentation on all sorts of projects, including hooking up an lcd. I bought mine from there it's pretty easy to get it working.

As long as you can get a hdmi input for it Otherwise you cant or maybe somehow by changing circuitry you can
Of course you can it just depends on the panel you are using. I hooked one up to a proto board and a certain breakout board because I have sensors being displayed on it, not using it for a terminal screen.

Thoughts on getting started on a Door Project
First I want to apologize..I'm fairly new to all of this but I'm just really tired of getting up all the time seeing whose at my apt door knocking and it turns out to be just sales people.
Project
Thinking of hooking up a Raspberry Pi + Camera Module to my Apt Door Peep hole. So It can take pictures or display it on a TFT Color monitor. It will take a picture on motion detection or not.
Things that would be a cool feature
-When motion is detected a picture will be taken (i was reading that motion doesnt work with the camera module yet but hopefully that has changed.)
-Access it online from anywhere(not really important)
-Access raspberry pi camera on my network so when i can see whose at the door so I don't have to get up for advertisers
Just wondering what to order is my starting point so far i got
Raspberry PI Model B
Raspberry Pi Camera Module
Case
tft color monitor
I'm planning to buy all of these from amazon .com
I'm unsure of what sdcard to buy I saw the compatibility list. But what do you guys recommend for the best compatibility and etc? Looking for good class 10 cards.
Im unsure of which power adapter is good for powering it. Thank you. Im hoping to buy everything off amazon.
Thank you

Definitely sounds like an cool project. As far as good class 10 SD Card's this SanDisk Extreme Class 10 32 GB card is a very good card exact same on that I have only I have a 16 GB card, also it's listed on the confirmed working peripherals page. For a power supply this 5V 1.5A from the Pi Hut sold on Amazon is good power supply which can provide enough power for any USB devices you plug into the Raspberry Pi as well. Additionally this video is worth checking out, as it shows a person who's project was to create a motion detecting surveillance type setup using the Raspberry Pi and the Raspberry Pi camera module.
hmm would a 32gb be overkill should I get a 16gb instead? Whats your opinion? Are you running out of room on your 16gb?
Is that power supply adapter the best one? Or is there another one ? Im trying to see if there's one with that qualifies for prime shipping. I guess i can use my asus neuxs 7 charger first until the one from pi hut arrives
Thank you for your advice so far.

If you can spend the extra money the extra storage is worth it. On my own setup I still have plenty of storage on my 16 GB card. I mainly use it for small experimental developmental work, and small projects, but if your going to use it for media of any kind 32 GB is essential. Regarding the power supply the one the Pi Hut sells I mentioned is very good, a lot of the other power supplies I've seen on Amazon are low quality that won't always provide consistent power output.

5V 1A (1000mA) USB port power supply - UL Listed - its only 1000mA though compared to the 1500 on from pi hut
my own nexus 7 power adapter is 2.0a is that over the limit?
im thinking of buying the hp touch pad charger as well since it has a really high power rating...or maybe just split my orders order half of my items from amazon and the other from adafruit

The power supply from Adafruit is the one I use on my Raspberry Pi and it serves me well, I recommended the Pi Hut one because you mentioned you wanted to buy everything off Amazon if possible. You should be able to use your Nexus 7 power adapter just fine it will provide you with enough power for the Raspberry Pi plus any accessories such as external hard drive or wireless dongle that require power as well.

I really appreciate the time you are spending to help me go through this. lol now i just have to figure out what to do next after getting all of these things together now thats going to be the hard part.. getting it up and running i may just hook up the raspberrypi to an Ethernet cable instead to save money from a wifi dongle. so far this has costed me ~$170.
Steps
1) hooking everything up
2) figuring out waht to do lol....
3) get the basic camera up and running
4) get motion running
5) remote access if possible
6) hope for no down time

The Nexus charger is better. It doesn't force the extra current in, it just has the ability to provide that current if needed.

One course of action you could take to making your project is modifying the tweeting letterbox code to remove the Twitter specific functions and instead modifying the code so you received an alert (E-mail, commuter dialog box prompt, phone text message, etc.) when the camera detected someone at the door.

Just to make sure we're on the same page here by first step I assume you mean the first step from the Raspberry Pi Tweeting Letter Box tutorial, correct? The first step is to wire the camera to the breadboard and then to Raspberry Pi GIPIO pins as described in the tutorial. After that I would recommend running the python script he describes to run. Then once you have the script running you can start editing the code and removing the Twitter specific code so it acts as just a camera viewer like your looking for.
I'm trying to figure out what to get for my new Camry. I was/am interested in the Joying unit. I contacted them and asked which model they would suggest but they told me the Joying wouldn't fit my Camry. I don't understand why though. So I'm looking for some advice.
Like I said I love the Joying model and have watched a bunch of reviews online. I'd like something with physical buttons down the side and a volume knob if possible. Running full Android. I basically want to run Spotify and Youtube and Netflix. I'd be nice to have GPS built in as well.
I know my way around Android pretty well but car audio is out of my depth so any advice would be appreciated.
post ur dashboard picture please

Well, remember that any MY2017 vehicle is still quite new. If the dashboard area around the radio is significantly changed from the previous year (check... is it?) then it may take some time for the aftermarket to catch up and make the part you are looking for. Even if it HASN'T changed, the companies that actually make dash kits (scosche, metra) may simply have not yet had a chance to update their websites showing that the older parts still fit. The chinese radio vendors go by the dash kit makers' websites to determine compatibility.
You generally can't go wrong with a standard DDIN radio, because the aftermarket will make THAT soon as they get around to it.
Literally just bought a 2017 camry 2 days ago and was searching up the same thing. Hopefully something will come out soon thats compatible with out cars.
Damn. Sorry. I didn't get a notice that somebody had responded. Sorry for not getting back. My bad.
I did find this on Amazon

It says 2015 and up and I asked on Amazon if it would fit the Joying and was told yes. So hopefully that's true.
I'll post pictures of my dash tomorrow. I had a 2015 before this and it hasn't changed drastically.
Here's a picture of my dashboard
