Raspberry PI OEM integration for E90

I am happy to say that whilst I haven't written much over here for the past month or so, things were kicking in the background with the Raspberry PI project. After my previous post, seeing that everything is working as expected, it is time to integrate everything nicely in the E90 dashboard. Below are some pics with the 3D printed board, at the moment this is still a rough draft, the finished product will have no hard or uneven edges. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks :)

Make it your own

First off lets start with a wishlist, I've put together a wishlist which hopefully I will be updating on an ongoing basis. The wishlist will list all the parts that I will/or have put into this project. Each mod or repair that I will making for my car in shaping it to be unique.

Now, ignore the order since some parts on the wishlist will take ages to implement due to budget constraints. The purpose of the wishlist is to spark ideas for everyone. Let me know if you would like to implement something on your 3 series BMW by placing a comment below and we can exchange ideas. 

Wishlist:

1. BMW 3 series E90 sedan M Package

2. BMW M alloy wheels (style 72)  ü

3. Raspberry PI 2 - credit card size computer ü

4. Display for Raspberry PI 2 ü

5. Belkin CarAudio Connect-Aux bluetooth adapter ü

6. Custom mount in ashtray for the Raspberry PI (Work in progress)

I will be posting an update with all of the above items that are marked as completed with actual pictures and explanations.
