Both these options are acceptable for the amount I drive the car, and to be honest in the past 9 years I don't even think i turned the radio on when driving. But, when I get an idea for something, I have to try it.<\/p><p>I wanted something that looked like it was designed to be part of the car, like it could have been a factory option. I did try a detachable interface that would be mounted externally to the dash pieces, but it looked to cluttered and it didn\u2019t have customizable features in its interface.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-33-34p vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last\" id=\"el-fe3b1c75\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-fe3b1c75\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-fe3b1c75\"><div class=\"vce-single-image-container vce-single-image--align-left\"><div class=\"vce vce-single-image-wrapper\" id=\"el-be079188\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-be079188\"><figure><div class=\"vce-single-image-figure-inner\" style=\"width: 1024px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20220928_233006.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox-be079188\" class=\"vce-single-image-inner vce-single-image--absolute\" style=\"padding-bottom: 82.3242%; width: 100%;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"vce-single-image\"  width=\"1024\" height=\"843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20220928_233006-1024x843.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20220928_233006-320x263.jpg 320w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20220928_233006-480x395.jpg 480w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20220928_233006-800x659.jpg 800w\" src=\"https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20220928_233006-1024x843.jpg\" data-img-src=\"https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20220928_233006.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"578\"  alt=\"\" title=\"20220928_233006\" \/><\/a><\/div><figcaption hidden=\"\"><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-row-container\" data-vce-boxed-width=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-row vce-row--col-gap-30 vce-row-equal-height vce-row-content--top\" id=\"el-f5f13d01\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-f5f13d01\"><div class=\"vce-row-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-auto vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last vce-col--md-first vce-col--lg-first vce-col--xl-first\" id=\"el-32f99b87\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-32f99b87\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-32f99b87\"><div class=\"vce-text-block\"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-cd9b5eb8\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-cd9b5eb8\"><h3>OpenAuto-Pro<\/h3><p>I found OpenAutoPro software for the Raspberry Pi and also found a touch screen with dimensions that would fit very tightly in the din slot of the Mx6.
