I am not the author, just a fan, user and soon a contributor as I really like this software and see its potential.
I have created thorough instructions on my website for building and using this software that are missing or unclear otherwise. I struggled quite a bit to get going but felt this software was / is worth it and want to see it evolve as far as possible.
Please visit https://tinkerversity.com for up to date tutorials and information as I progress with it.
HeadUnit Desktop is a Qt based free and open source software that is intended to be run on computers built into cars. HUD is designed to be highly modular and easy to extend even for beginners. Make sure you check the documentation out, which is actively being updated.
This software is currently under active development and lot of the features are experimental. The main features are currently:
- Media player with a media library and media scanner
- Android Auto™ client
- DAB radio
Proposed features:
- FM Radio
- CAN bus sniffer (depending on how much control different modules of the car allow and how much information, such as A/C steering wheel controls, different gauges and sensor data) with a customizable profile for each car.
The GUI for some of the proposed features is already there. For screenshots of the current state of the GUI go to the screenshots page in the Wiki.
