I'm surprised I haven't seen a generic "turn a raspi into carplay" firmware or anything of that sort.
There have been attempts but most of them kinda suck. One of them is a webapp and another requires you to install android
Entertainment, telemetry, weapons systems?
I was moreso thinking music, gps, and control of the cars ac/heating. Maybe also the control of some LED strips for decoration. Also, random sensor readouts would be cool. Sure, most cars have thermometers but how many cars have geiger counters?
