Wolfgang is a car kit emulator, intended for use in automotive applications.

It supports Bluetooth device management, and audio streaming, the APIs for which are served over a lightweight messaging queue courtesy of ZeroMQ.

A complimentary client library also written in Ruby is available in wilhelm-tools), but any language with a ZeroMQ binding can be used to generate the API calls, which are just YAML or JSON blobs following a standardised structure.

The underlying Bluetooth profiles (A2DP, AVRCP etc) are implemented by Bluez, so Wolfgang also includes a Ruby client for the Bluez D-BUS API.

The motivation for Wolfgang was the project Walter, an interface for BMWs that use I/K-Bus, which required a friendly Bluetooth interface.
