After talkin with Kris Graci, I am going to look into also being able to play music from the Pi as well. I will either make a media player to handle usb or bluetooth, or try to tap into the radio and control that.

I've kind of been doing some stuff with this, just preliminary as I don't have a touchscreen yet or anything else, but I do konw that A2DP works great with an android phone to play music over the PI speakers. I've been working on my laptop to get HFP working (not very easy...) so I can use the PI as a hands-free device for my phone, but I would think with just playing audio through it, A2DP and something like would be great.

Hey all, sorry for the lack of work lately. Been busy trying to build a mount/enclosure for everything. It's kind of hard to do development when I don't have everything constantly setup, including working on the Bluetooth/OBDII part. I'm having to put the audio part on hold for now until I can see how "stressed" the Pi is under load from the OBDII reading/monitoring, as there's only so much it can do before it starts to lag.

It's been a long time since I've gotten any good progress on my remote. How about yours? I just picked up a pi 2 last week, and deciding if I need it as a server, or find a home in my truck.
If I did in my truck, I'd probably bluetooth to a phone, and use the phone as a screen. Lots of ideas still rolling around. Just lack the time and funding, like everyone else.

I'd be happy to help you set it up if you need any help.

Another 6 month bump vitafortis. :P
Do you know anything about App development? Recently upgraded my system to 54 I/Os but looking at changing to possibly a pi and tablet when I make my new center console. Still want to move up to touchscreen controls instead of just my key fob. :P
Haven't finished soldering all the new connections up, but you can go check out my progress!

That's actually looking pretty good! I haven't really posted here lately, but I've been updating the software and stuff on my github, it shows the parts list and stuff I am working on.

Hey all, posting on here again since it's been a while. Lately I've been working on a companion Android App, and looking into writing Android Auto Code, as well as starting on Apple CarPlay support, so no longer need for a secondary screen. The code isn't 100% yet, or anywhere near, but it's getting closer.
