2020 Chevy Traverse

Top to bottom.

Navigation system turned into TV.

SDS200 feed into a Raspberry Pi w/ touch screen and amplified Uniden speaker mounted on a RAM mount.

Harris XG-100M.

XG-100M and Uniden speaker are wired through the charge guard. Once it warms up, I will add the SDS200 to that circuit. Its currently on an ignition sense circuit. Pretty basic, but seems to get the job done.

Is... is the W in Iowa just an upside down "M"?

Hey there:
Need a bit of a lesson here. You posted that you have the SDS-100 going through the PI? May I ask why? (yes I am a Noob sometimes)
What other functionality does the PI Give you?
Thanks

It’s a SDS200 going through a Pi. SDS200 is too big to mount in my vehicle. This solution solved that. The Pi has a GPS the scanner uses. Otherwise, I don’t think there is any extra functionality. The screen is touch screen so there is that too.

where did you get your harris xg100m from and how much did you pay for it may i ask? I have 2 harris xg100P plus xg/m7300 and since I am totally surrounded here in the DC Metro area with phase 1 and phase 2 systems in the 700/800 band,I would say at least 20 or more, I could use an xg100m brick only.

How did you get the local news on your vehicle screen? What hardware /software did you use to convert it?

While I am not OP, there is several devices that use CarPlay/Android Auto to run apps. This is one example:

Watching Netflix On apple CarPlay | MMB USA

MMB USA presents new way to enhance entertainment on car. Watching Netflix and Youtube on Apple CarPlay from MMB Android Box.

www.usammb.com

Please use these devices responsibly. I am in an area we already have a problem with distracted drivers. We have had a lot of close calls from folks generally not paying attention, watching YouTube/etc while driving, or most concerning - attempting to sleep while their Tesla drives them.

I snagged it off eBay sometime ago for around $1,200. It was a dash mount but I converted it to remote mount.

Nice box but YIKES. How well does it work long term ? Meaning on an 8-9 hour drive is it going to crash ?
