RobE84 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Just wondering if it is possible to use a raspberryPI to hook into the ecu of a civic aerodeck to pick up realtime info from from the ecu like rpm and oil pressure and such to use the PI as a kind of realtime display of what's going on in the engine bay... I am in the process of binning the stock radio and fitting the pi as a media centre. So if anyone knows if I can get a double din centre console I would appreciate it. And if anyone happens to know of any software to interpret the obd2 data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Well the fact that there ARM based and run linux, I can't imagine it would very difficult to run an android rom on it and use torque pro app with a usb Bluetooth dongle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'm not no, but I'm very familiar with the hardware. Been using gp2x, Pandora, and various android bits n bobs for donkeys.pi is good bit of kit for 20 quid. May treat myself and have a play.
