I've (with help of Claude) Designed a Launcher for Android Head Unit

this is SWEET. my android head unit doesnt have the ibus adapter. where can i get one?

you can buy it from iBUS website. But id hold on since im working on a arduino board that will connect to canBUS and obd K line for scanning which will work a lot faster.

This is what I found - https://modbm.com/shop/ibus-interface/

Sounds like bhoom is going to have a better device.

Update:

I’ve designed a PCB and have ordered which you just plug a arduino board into. Firmware for it is ready and has been tested in simulation. One I get the parts, I’ll be connecting it to the car and the stereo. Added some awesome features regarding sports mode in the launcher which will receive faster data when this arduino board I’m building. Coming soon….

bhoom_S54 cool stuff. i've just started playing around with it and I like the built in integration. couple of questions.

• can we mute navigation instructions?
• can you increase font size (i'm old)? i can't read a bunch of it. i like the 5 shortcuts on the home screen, but maybe we can eliminate them to expand music/navigation? you have shortcuts on the left margin already.

i'll keep playing around but nice work so far. EDIT: can you change or add widgets to the home screen for your own offline apps (like a music player or navigation)? maybe keep the 5 tiles on the right side, eliminate shortcuts on the bottom (except all apps moves to somewhere) and enlarge the two home widgets (music/radio and OSM navigation)? really nice overall though.

Thank you! I’m continuing to work on it. I will look into making these changes. I didn’t want to add too much to start since some of these head units aren’t as powerful and didn’t wanna bog down the system. But I will definitely add option to change the font size and mute option for the navigation.

as for the dashboard, I have planned to make changes too it but I want to make sure the basics are sorted out.
