Greetings, I realize I'm brand new to the forum but I've pretty much exhausted myself searching for answers to my burning questions. After a few months of watching video after video and stalking the forum there are a few things that just never really got answered for me.
1) How does an external USB audio card with one microphone in and one headphone out jack supply 4 speakers (or in my case 4 component speakers) with audio? And at decent quality? I did see the thread about using an 8 channel output but I'd like to keep this to just the bare components I'll need to start.
2) Is it possible to just tie directly into the wiring harness for the stock radio that's already there in the care instead of adding in a whole lot of new wires? I realize for the power to the Pi I'll need to drop it to 5v but none of the videos I've seen talked about the rest of the wiring like the speakers.
3) I may have glossed over this part (or gone cross-eyed at this point) but for the OBD-II functionality is possible to break out a second display from the main HU or will I have to build an entirely new system and get a separate OAP key? Pointing out that I would like to replace the gauges I currently have with a 7" or 10.1" display, whichever fits easier.
Thanks in advance,
W
