Really enjoyed reading this write up. For exotics there is typically less people tinkering with them and that makes it even more cool when you manage some hack/mod!<p>For Porsches, it's easier as they do share infotainment stuff with other VAG vehicles and there is an online community that also tinkers with PCMs (Porsche's infotainment).<p>In my old 991.2 I managed to unlock Android Auto which was never officially supported using that community's efforts - it was completely functional, just disabled in favor of a CarPlay-only offering. (This changed with the 992 where it comes with both systems standard). And by plugging in a Motorola MA1 one has Wireless Android Auto on a car that never supported even the wired version. Sweet.<p>One day we might see a real Doom on 911 write up because the viral video from a few years ago is sadly fake. But just by going with the information/tools available in the modding community it's completely possible. Most of the GUI on it is Java apps BTW :)
Why not have a little lipo battery or battery bank with the rpi, and have it charge/run off that? Make it like a little UPS where the rpi shuts down if it gets too low. Then you don’t have to wait 7 seconds for it to boot unless you haven’t driven in a while.
Interesting that it says CarPlay but it doesn't seem to support maps or other apps, just music playback? For me, maps are the real killer feature of CarPlay
