Realised I've not updated this for very long time so here goes in some form order that I remember.
Several months ago I hit a pothole and it did this.
Put the spare wheel on while I looked for a set of replacements.
My mates kid thought it was funny as well.
Big thanks to Superkarl for selling me his RS4 reps.
Some of you might have read that I bought a RNS-d unit and a raspberry Pi with the intention of connecting it all up.
Well I did it and it works spot on.
First task was getting all this.....
Into this.
Rough line up and it looks like this.
Sadly that never worked. After a bit more playing it looks like this.
With the pi and everything in, I need to sort out the wiring and try and do it without having loads of wires everywhere.
I bought a very short USB power lead.
And I made my own AV lead to get the AV from the Pi to the RNS-d's TV unit.
With that all in and working I bought myself a new double din dash section as the my original one was broken, I also swapped my A3 RNS-d unit with a B5 RNS-d unit which sadly got damaged in the post.
It annoys me when I see it but since I can't see all the time I'm driving I'll leave it for now.
I also got a Xcarlink with the RNS unit which let me plug in my iPod in to the RNS and control it via the RNS.
This works really well and i'm happy with it but you can't see what the song is and it makes it hard for your passenger to select a song.
I got thinking what I can do about this.
Since the iPod is a iPod video and I hated using the pop out cup holder I thought I'd do something else with the cup holder.
So I converted it into an iPod dock.
This solves a couple of issues.
The misses can change the tracks, look for songs that she wants and we are able to watch movies without having to hold the ipod up.
The ipod dock is fully wired up yet. I need to add another USB power source to the car first. That should not take long but I'm having issues locating a point to put it.
Current things I'm working on are......
Hid Conversion.
And this random awning thing I've toyed with.
