I thought I'd take some time and leverage my computer science and engineering degree upgrade my cabin technology in my Terminator Cobra to exceed most technology rolling off the 2015 lines. I ended up with a fully functioning HDMI (resolution and sound) Linux/Android operating system on my head unit controlled by voice or touch. When my phone is in the car my phone is mirrored to the head unit giving me all the functionality of my LG g3 phone on my head unit.
I wrote a custom 'SvtMasterMonitor' in Visual C and then ported that code to dashCommand which I'm using as my middleware to communicate with my odb2 which communicates with my PCM.
I also tried to port the code over to Torque but the my algorithms didn't want to work properly in that app.
All 'SvtMasterMonitor' numbers are SAE corrected and have been almost identical numbers on two different dyno pulls(ProDyno and Fastlane) at two different boost levels in similar weather conditions.
Hardware
Pioneer AppRadio 3 model da210
Linux Android Stick 4.2.3 for when my phone is not around for some reason
LG G3 Red Hat Linux with Rooted 4.2.3 Android overlay - my phone
ScreenBeam Mini2
Odb2 MX Dongle
Software
Titan Miracast for wireless mirror of my phone to the Screenbeam mini, which is plugged into the hdmi port on the HU
AppRadio Unchained to allow full touch on the HU
SvtMasterMonitor Gui - written and developed by me
DashCommand to serve up the SvtMasterMonitor Gui and connect to the odb2 dongle
Utter! Voice Control
More to come this is just a sneak peek of what I've done so far... but you get the idea with full Android voice control in the cabin.
I'm working on injecting data from my Autometer air fuel gauge atm...
Gui includes full fuel stats for current day, previous day, Trip A and B, both resettable, since fill up, past 15 minutes in 1 minute breakdowns and datalogging.
What do y'all think?
Edit Been setting this up for some friends...
Minimum to get this working for android
Bluetooth device (no head unit interface required)
Obd dongle to broadcast your car ecu to dashcommand on your device
Get this dongle and load dash command on your phone or bluetooth tablet or whatever and I'll send my Ford Racing SVT gui
