Great post. Would this be improved with Raspberry Pi 3? Would that Wifi/Bluetooth functionality help?
The bluetooth A2DP on Raspberry Pi 2 is still in development phase especially with Kodi OSMC and OpenELEC. After a few trials and errors, all my devices paired and stream audio perfectly to the Raspberry Pi 2.
So summing up what my little project can do?
- Play movies and music on the road with attached hard drives or pen drives.
- Stream music and audio (map direction) from bluetooth devices: iPhones, iPods, iPads, Android phones.
- Airplay: stream audio, videos from IOS 8 or older.
- Stream TV shows, news, music, videos from the internet from all over the world.
How much does it cost?
- Someone snatched my Q7's Analog TV tuner on Ebay last week - it was $90 + $25 shipping (he/she paid $99+$25).
- Raspberry Pi 2 : $40.
- 32GB microSD class 10: $10.
- 300N USB mini wifi : $10.
- Mini Bluetooth 4.0 dongle: $10.
- Old ATI Remote wonder: $10 eBay.
- 4 ports 3.0 USB: $8.
Since the video output is composite, one can split them up to many monitors for the rear seats.

The pi3 is out of stock
Haven't gotten one yet. Will post when I get one. It does sound promising, I'm still skeptical about what they put in there.

OK the Raspberry Pi 3 is in and the built-in Wifi and Bluetooth
don't work as well as the external ones.

This is my home screen
Im trying to get more resolution, so I'm trying to sniff the Plug for the video signals, Im sure its vga... 800x480 would be nicer than the 480x240

What you have installed is quite amazing...
For touchscreen panel is great but I'm not sure if I want to go through the hassle. My wife didn't even want me to watch movies while driving. 7" screen is too small for the kids in the back to see, the best is to have screens on the head rests, but then, each kid should have their own iPads to watch whatever they like individually.
My goal right now is to maximize the Pi 3 to have FHP (free hand profile) for Cell phones, Google maps navigation instead of Audi primitive navigation.
I can watch TV, youtube and movies while waiting for family shopping. The native resolution seems adequate on an 7" screen.
