Volty MIR - [M]ap + [I]intelligent [R]everse Camera (WIP)
Project to build a display capable of showing maps and reverse camera feed for my first-gen Chevy Volt.
My Volt does not have built-in navigation nor reverse camera. So why not build a display unit to do that?
Volty Mir on Hackaday
Requirements
- Displays video from reverse camera (composite video input)
- Displays offline maps and/or navigation through a smart device (HDMI, VGA, or composite video input)
- Automatically switches to reverse camera when shifter is in R position
- Has brightness control (important for night time)
- Integrates well into the car interior
Possible upgrades
Steps
In no particular order:
- Find a suitable LCD and a driver for it
- Find a reverse camera
- Set up a smartphone to display maps
- Build an automatic input switch
- Figure out power needs and best way to wire and place everything in the car
- Design and print an enclosure/holder for the LCD
- Design and print a holder for the phone
