Hi
This setup uses the STOCK car LCD. All the original devices still function as normal.
OpenAuto is a little squashed as the LCD resolution is only 240 x 480. (CGA)
I have a CAN interface that lets me select stock display information or OpenAuto by holding the status button for 2 seconds. This toggles the video input to the display. The Pi's video output is CGA via a HDMI to VGA convertor
This makes for a really clean install. AndroidAuto is scaled perfectly.
The only tricky part was overlaying a touch screen over the stock LCD.
All the electronics are mounted in the center console and a fake cover installed so all looks stock just a little shallower
I built an interface so the Pi could drive the stock LCD this also has a power supply and startup shutdown controller.
When i plug my phone the display automatically switches to OpenAuto mode.
Here's a video taken awhile back showing it working in the car before i neatened the touchscreen tape.
