What I have so far

Hardware

• Car stereo fully installed
• Tablet holder installed
• Wiring harness with accessory power and can bus wired in (currently going to the glovebox)
• First prototype of the gateway box with the esp, mcp2515 relays and the orange pi  working
• Rear view camera installed (a little janky but it is working though)

Software

• Tablet launcher app with some favorite and planned destinations, media controls and rearview camera 
• Esp8266 firmware reading steering wheel controls and with a log mode to assist with reverse engineering
• Orange pi server reading serial commands from the esp, sending keyevents to the tablet via adb and rearview camera stream using webrtc
• Cloud server integrated with here maps places api for searching places, saving next destinations and integrating it to the tablet frontend to list and launch directions

Next steps

Hardware

• Tidy up glovebox wiring and fixing the care gateway box
• Fix rearview camera properly
• Reverse engineer can b for current gear, open doors and lights 
• Start planning how to get into the can c network (engine control) to get OBDII data (currently I'm on the can b which is the low speed, non critical bus)
• Figure out a way to turn on the radio whe the car is turned on (acc power does not turn on the radio)

Software

• Implement opening rearview camera when shifted to reverse
• Create car status component showing doors and light state (just for show because it is nice 😅)
• Play music when car is key is in the ignition, stop the music when leaving the car
• Fix shutdown timing
• Figure out a way to postpone shutdown for when the car is parked but not for so long
• Start playing with OBDII protocol (maybe using those cheap OBDII dongles)

Other items

• Share tablet holder and rearview camera 3d models
• Add more pictures to the gallery

I just started logging the project so there are a couple things missing, for now I'll just log everything all from now on, but I will come back and document what I have done so far 😅😅😅
