Hello everyone! Its been awhile since I've uploaded a project.. but dont worry! I have been hard at work with this one here. Love the Raspberry Pi? Great, because here is everything you need to get Android Auto running on a Rasberry Pi 3, 3B+, 4. PLEASE NOTE this is not a "How TO" or instructable. This is a project in prototype stages and is very buggy and needs alot of tweaks. Build at your own risk.
This runs off of Crankshaft Open Auto. All software credits go to the developer of Crankshaft. I am only using his software for educational purposes.
This assemble can be tweaked. Below is a list of items I have used to build the shell around.
UCTRONICS 7" IPS 1024x600 Touch Screen for Raspberry Pi
Miisso 10,000 mah portable battery (5v)
Raspberry Pi 3
USB 2.0 break out connectors (x2)
Micro USB type B breakout connectors (x2)
x2 Cylewet 12mm Switches
Male To Female USB chord (To plug into the battery and to have a female USB for external power)
High Speed Micro SD card at least 16GB
Below I will give you basic instructions on how to set this all up. If you really want a detailed video on how to do this, ETAPrime has a very excellent video showing how to get everything set up with Android Auto.
Step 1. Download Balena Etcher and Crankshaft Open Auto
Step 2. Install Balena Etcher
Step 3. Run Etcher, and select your Micro SD card you want to flash Crankshaft. Then, select Crankshaft as the image to flash.
Step 4. Flash
Step 5. You will need to change the config.ini to your display resolution
Step 6. Insert SD into Pie
Step 7. Profit
Have fun building!
