Home Assistant and CarPlay with the Pi Touch Display 2

[zie]

  - rpi5 = $80
  - Touch display 2 = $60
  - Carlink kit = $55
  - Power adapter = $10

$205 in parts

You can buy a CarPlay radio that's plug and play for the same or cheaper price. So this is clearly just for the hack value. Fun if you are after a hack project. Probably not worth it if you just want a CarPlay radio.

That's for an 8 GB Pi 5. It runs fine on the 2 GB Pi 5 that's $50 (or the 4GB for $60), which would bring it to $175, but if you want out of the box CarPlay the dedicated devices are still a better deal.

For me, I want to tinker with different options.
