Raspberry Pi Android Auto Headunit

This project retrofitted a classic Mercedes W201 with a Raspberry Pi-powered Android head unit. Housed in a custom 3D-printed enclosure, the system uses mobile internet for remote data logging and control of features like power windows and a live rearview camera, with all vehicle data visualized on a web dashboard.
