Hi All,
As of last week I'm the proud owner of a 2010 E350. I'm starting to look at what I can do to expand on the media options in the car.
I have COMAND NTG4 with the Media interface, but it's a very old version of the software - my maps are still dated 2009. I've got Bluetooth Audio (A2DP) that needs re-linking every time I get in the car.
My idea is to put a Raspberry Pi in the car and connect it via Bluetooth. I figure the Pi should be able to handle it's own re-connection each time the power comes on. It can store lots of media, and in theory could talk to my home network to pick up new music when I'm parked on the drive.
Has anyone tried anything like this already? I tried a search but got no result on the obvious words (Raspberry, Bluetooth).
A later experiment would be to also add DAB radio via the Pi, but that can wait until I have the basics working nicely.
