CARBMC

CARBMC

Using the principles from my Raspbmc post, I made a Pi setup with a step down transformer from 12VC to 5V to use a Pi in my car. I had one screen in the front and two in the back (for the kids) to watch movies on long drives.

This worked REALLY well as I could plug the sound from the 3.5mm jack of the Pi into the car stereo and use a mini keyboard connected via bluetooth to the Pi.

There was a lot of cabling and I connected the video signal over the RCA composite connector with splitters. Not the best picture in the world but it kept the kids silent so I could talk to the wife :-)

Win Win situation
