Car2PC support

mnapoles · 03-13-2006, 06:51 PM

I am 95% sure i will be using Centrafuse for my frontend in a week or so when the project is done... its already running on the computer outside of the car so it will most likely stay there after installation.

I was wondering how hard it would be to implement support for the Car2PC adapter sold here...

Honda Car2PC Adapter

This is a very important part of my project as I will be keeping the stock HU and am looking to gain as much functionality out of it as possible...

and takers?

Basically, it will allow you to map your radio buttons to hot-keys. CF supports hot-keys, so you will be able to use it fine.

<CORRECTION> Centra has _some_ hotkey support </CORRECTION>

Yeah, the arrow keys don't really work like they should (acessing every button with a highlight). You could use up/down for lists, and use your 1-6 buttons to change screens though. RR on the other hand can be fully controlled using hot-keys.

So then for all pracitcal reasons: if i were to use this car2pc adapter i would be better off using RR as a FE? in that case i will use the soundgate adapter as im probablly the first person to model my hardware around the software i want to use... did you read that veetid?!

I've updated MWI to process the Car2PC commands in order to to send Next Track / Previous Track hotkeys to CF.

Good... sorry that i *****ed about that on other thread... without noticing this.

Another cool thing to add would be the ability to send the song title to the hu in cetrafuse, as i think it does with the winamp and WMP plugins...

Let me know if anyone want to add support for Centrafuse. I can send either unit for "real life" testing or emulation software:

Happy to see you on this thread JBORS.

Hopping everybody will make CAR2PC to work fine with CF...

I'd love native support in Centrafuse for this... in the future release...
