Fitting Rasberry-Pi with 7 inch monitor to a car dashboard

Wed Aug 07, 2019 10:53 am

Does anyone know the best way to fit raspberry pie with a 7 inch monitor to the dashboard of the car. I was thinking about maybe a magnetic patch feature to the back of the casing that can be attached to another magnets that is connected to the evidence on the front dashboard or maybe the suction pad to the front windscreen. Also, does anyone have knowledge about charging the device through so the energy, like fitting the device to the front window screen with the solar panel behind it that would directly supply the charge required

Might be able to pull out the stereo and cut some mounting holes for the pi with an appropriately sized drill bit. As for the screen maybe take some measurements and print a mount?

With that you could take the car stereo's wiring harness and connect it to the GPIO pins for power. A cursory google search shows a wiring diagram for someone who has done it. (of course take all appropriate precautions and don't automatically trust everything you read online)
