Not sure if this has been mentioned or not.
I own a Mazda rx-8 and it is at that time of life of low compression as well as I have an electrical problem shorting out the dash sometimes. When my dash shorts out the pi switches off and proceeds to reboot.
I need a cheap but quality solution to keep the pi running when these small shorts happen. I know that I need a UPS but I need one that isn't total crap that also provides a safe shutdown instead of turning the key and it automatically powering off. It is currently tapped into power from the cigarette lighter adapter as that is the only place we were able to find tappable power without setting off an airbag.
Also any suggestions on how to keep the pi nice and cold for the Florida heat.
