    Built an OEM looking Android Auto system

    Nice!! I might have a look at OpenDash then. Yes, I think I did stumble across some Raspberry Pi HATs that have the 12V to 5V functionality and ignition live + permanent live to do what you said but I didn't necessarily want my screen on all the time - I can see some people would though...

    Built an OEM looking Android Auto system

    Haha, yes! One of the reasons I decided to have a switch and what not and not have it on all the time - only switch it on when I want Android Auto so I'm not looking at the 'crankshaft' interface :smiley: I'm a software developer by trade so these things annoy me too - maybe I'll make something...

    Built an OEM looking Android Auto system

    The software I'm using on the Raspberry Pi called 'crankshaft' allows you to switch it so you can still route audio via Bluetooth to your head unit, instead of the Raspberry Pi taking it all. The downside to this option is Google assistant doesn't work as you can't re-route the microphone input...

    Built an OEM looking Android Auto system

    Oh yes, saw these but they're all 9 inch screens which I think would look too big and out of place - on all the pictures I saw it looked like a tablet had just been plonked on the dash! Wanted something that looked OEM and also I've had these Chinese type screens in other cars and the audio...

    Built an OEM looking Android Auto system

    I've had more modern cars until recently and I've really got used to having it so had to find a way! I'm just installing focal components and a little sub and then I'll be done!

    Built an OEM looking Android Auto system

    I wanted a touch screen Android Auto system but I didn't want a pop out screen and obviously double din isn't an option without rebuilding the central console so I started researching screen possibilities and realised some versions of the car came with the TomTom system with a little colour...

    Advice on fitting new MAP sensor

    Update: Changing the MAP sensor did nothing but I changed all four coils and plugs and the car is running well again.

    Advice on fitting new MAP sensor

    Clio RS 200 - I've never been happy with the idle on the car since I got it 2 months ago but it drove fine until it was sat for a few weeks and now it is suffering from what seems like misfiring and backfiring out the exhaust. I scanned the codes and got a P0103 (Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit...
