So far I'm working on mounting the screen in a revised 3D printed OEM facia on the waterfall. Keeping the original ICM screen.

I didnt see this released anywhere on the interwebz so i hope someone will like it!

Untill then, a teaser

Streaming ICM realtime with python:

Test fitting:


If you want to use a cheap composite camera and power it from your rear lights and still get good quality video i will be giving out 4 free custom PCBs for isolating the video signal when im done compiling the project to the first persons who needs it

Reply about starbytes:
You should be able to use this out of the box... if in some way you cant, the hardware needed in between the RPI and the ICM to convert the lcd signal (Teensy 4.0) is also able to act as a logiq analyzer wich means that in worst case scenario - you can record the lcd signal from the icm, and find correct bytes without the need of extra hardware/soldering etc. Just temporarily compile another program for the teensy that will be included in the github to log the signal for a few sec and vioala.. I can guide you thru it if that is the case, dont worry about it.

Buttons compability:
All the steering wheel buttons work. The buttons on the waterfall dash works as well but since they dont run on LIN-bus i did a workarround where i saved for example the volume stages locally in the RPI script so if you change it to stage 2 of 30 for example the script recognizes the image sent from the LCD as volumr 2 and it also changes the OpenAuto volume to corresponding volume (6%) so its always synced no matter if you use the steering wheel or the waterfall.

To answere your question when and where they work - its a bit up to you, i have decided in my case that if i am running the CD (wich i use as aux, since my car didnt have factory aux) the next/prev etc is forwarded to OpenAuto, if im using am/fm they just work as normal to the icm... answere/exit call is just for OpenAuto and lastly volume is global so it do both all the time.

This also means in return you can map any button or action to any function you want. For example the waterfall powerbutton to shutdown the RPI, wich is a great idea and i will inplement it!

I have custom buttons for siri for example, long press enter(answere) for 2 sec to activate siri and long press exit(hang up) for 2 sec to minimize Apple Carplay return to OAP home screen.

About the microphone:
I replaced the original one with a third party car mic that costed arround 10 usd, i will add pictures and link to that tomorrow hopefullt. It works in calls, google assistant, siri or what ever just as it should. It fits hidde in the same spot as the original one does, and the cable was fairly easy to route, took about 30minutes to replace it without any prior knowledge about the interior panels!

ICM integration with OaP:
Since we have full controll of the ICM signal the possibilities are endless, you could even with this base completly simulate the menus in a prettier way on the RPI and dont show the ICM as a overlay at all. The only limitation is OpenAutos ability to change the UI. An example is to add our temprature readings intregrated on the home screen instead of the overlay. But i cannot modify OaP interface so i cant make room for then in a good looking way. Maybe future updates on OaP included more possibilities to modify the UI and we could completly lose the original UI but keep all the information and menus. Hopefully they add some dynamic UI stuff. If any of you can get a hold of them i would program it on our side.

Summerize:
The project is basicly done, the github too, but i want to finalize a few things and then test run it for a week or so fully assebled to make sure its runninh bug free in case someone without prior experience with python or c++ can just plug and play this without getting gray hairs trying to understand how everything works from the ground up to fix an error hehe.. I could use some of u to beta test it if you have the fund for the hardware and are seriouse about implementing it.

I would like to make a tutorial from start to finish how to install it as well but this takes some time too :p

Is there any intresst in me compiling every hardware and software/set it up for you via TW i could always do that too for a reasonable price per hour or so
