ModFreak Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hey guys looking for a little help if anyone can. I just picked up a Raspberry Pi board and case. Plan to run OpenElec or RaspBMC for the os in a car media center with a small 7" touch screen. Plan to hardwire the power supply to the car and using a couple 512gb flash drives for storage of music and movies. Also plan to use a wireless mini remote keyboard. I want to wire the sound out to the Aux input on the rear of my HU. Does anyone have any input or suggestions, help, reviews, anything is appreciated. Thanks, Mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom50cal Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 nothing to add, but tuned in for responses. I thought about this exact thing awhile back, a small carputer to manage media easily.

Bship Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 most of the time its just two wires. cut the usb plug off and wire it in to the car no problem.
