Currently, there exists devices like the Magic Box that essentially are extremely overpriced Android devices that enable you to mirror the device to your car without restrictions (for example, web browsing and video streaming). I'm thinking this can be accomplished with a Raspberry Pi at a significantly cheaper price.
At first, I was thinking that it could be a custom Android Auto protocol. I have seen some articles and open source code with successful results. The only issue is that this wouldn't make sense since these products are advertised for CarPlay as well.
This leads me to my current "solution" (an extremely abstract one, albeit), which is that the device is spoofing the car into thinking it's CarPlay capable, then allowing it to display vanilla Android from the device.
Does anyone know of any projects similar to this, or perhaps somewhere to get started with this if my spoofing theory is even correct?
