AA holy grail
It's pi focused apparently https://github.com/opencardev/crankshaft/wiki
- Openauto setup is working well so far! Fun project, love the android auto wireless functionality.
- Let’s go!! anyone got any screen recommendations or mods / how do I wire it it up ?!?!
- OSMC + KODI on Pi3 as my car’s stereo
- Anybody have any recommendations on radio unit upgrades. Something not terribly expensive

I'm looking for a Bluetooth/touchscreen stereo for my 07 mini. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
3)The route that I ended up going was to build my own unit with a Raspberry Pi running Crankshaft to run Android Auto and a 7" touchscreen that I mounted magnetically to a phone mount that inserts in the CD player. Doesn't look OEM butif you manage cords it looks pretty clean and works well. Also cost me under $100 and I can remove it easily any time I want. I'm a little techy so it wasn't too hard - there are tons of videos out there that will walk you through the project.

Touchscreen control with Android Auto? I am looking to add one to wife's car: has original Touch w/big screen.
Your other option, which I actually use in my R56, is to utilize the Crankshaft project with a Raspberry Pi and a generic 7" touchscreen from Amazon. I mounted mine with a magnetic mount from the CD drive and power it through the aux power port. Mine works both with wired and wireless Android auto, with very few glitches. If you're techy at all it doesn't take long to set up.

What would be required between my car's wiring harness and a mini-pc/raspi to handle media and map steering wheel buttons?
Options are limited. Look here: https://github.com/f1xpl/openauto

Way in over my head, any help would be great
Other than a DIY solution then possibly Open Auto (free and paid) could help?

[Theme] Kustom UI with tasker integration. Server monitor, Car Page, Traffic Cams and more!
It would take a lot of time don't get me wrong & it can replace your infotainment center with a touchscreen & a rPi3B running OpenAutoPro but if you look at that feature set in the repo you'll see why it's wayyy better & integrates your android on multiple abstraction layers instead of just bluetooth. Plus the user interface is fully customizable with Qt (all open source)

[Discussion] Android Auto Alternative or Replacements, or Workarounds?
I dunno if this is the proper place to ask about this, but; we already know Android Auto is pretty locked down to Googly's services, and requires their apps for the extra functionality. I'm aware of some progress being made to work around it; someone did get Android Auto Running in MicroG as well as AACS and the wonderful reverse engineered OpenAuto

I am a big noob please help me get openauto setup
I also tried sudo apt install https://github.com/f1xpl/openauto
