Revealing the AutoPi 2nd Generation dongle

An embedded Raspberry Pi delivers the computing power which enables the AutoPi dongle to do practically anything. It easily runs a full Linux operating system alongside with demanding applications.

The built-in modem enables Internet access through a 4G/3G connection, depending on your model. Our future-proof design allows easy replacement of the network module with other expansion boards supporting standard Mini PCI-Express socket.

Real-time tracking of vehicle position, speed and altitude. Includes A-GPS support that significantly improves the startup performance and time-to-first-fix.

Advanced on-board OBD-II chip that supports communication with all OBD-II compliant vehicles.

Embedded 3-axis accelerometer enables real-time measurement of all horizontal and vertical G-forces applied to the car.

Playback of voice notifications based on real-time data from GPS, accelerometer, car diagnostics or any other device attached.

Connect USB peripherals to any of the two provided USB 2.0 ports. For example, WiFi and Bluetooth devices or even a HD camera which can be used as a dashcam.

Plug in a touchscreen or any other display device through the supplied Micro HDMI port. An essential feature when building an in-car computer or entertainment system.

Integrate with and control auxiliary systems in your car. For instance a third party electronic boost controller or a water/methanol injection system. An useful option for advanced IoT projects.

The AutoPi is extensible through Bluetooth 4.1 with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Connect a range of third-party products through this.

Additional connection options are available through build-in Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n.

For those needing precise timing and accuracy, we have added a native Real-time clock on the device. This means that even when offline, the device will always maintain correct timing.
