I love the CarPlay on my AppRadio4.

Yeah the iLX I have also had car play along with SXM and HD Radio

So I ordered a 5” screen and a shield for an arduino. The new stuff should be much faster plus I can stack it better.

This first pass was a good experiment but I want a screen to fill the space.

I love the way you are bringing the new technology's to theses cars.

You might consider using an ESP8266-based device. NodeMCU is one of a million variants that is very popular, but I'd look around to see if there weren't others that might fit. I believe you can use Arduino code unchanged - just recompile.

Not sure how many A/D inputs you're using - if it's more than one, you'd need to add more (I believe most Arduino shields work).

Very neat project!

5” screen will almost fit.. need to trim the bezel and mod it to work.. here is a demo of the display. I was manually testing response time and it is good, however I have a challenge with the screen booting on power up (due to a library) I bought another 4.3” screen which would be easier to fit and should be faster

Waiting on the 4.3" screen it will fit better. I am thinking of adding a a few other features. One being Tire pressure sensors if I can get a receiver and sensors and them make them work.. Lastly for me would be Ext and Int Temperatures, since I don't have C68..

Once I get the screen I will get the images to work, then look into the rest

Got my new screen. I have it working in a demo state, I need to connect it to the car to test it. The 4.3 screen will fit better. I need to try text to see what else I can add

Screen shot. I don’t have Air Bag, TPMS or ASR displayed (no really using those). I did add a few extras for future hopeful addons... Tire Monitor and Temperature (I have a C60 car)
