ATCBridge Kit

Open source

Credits & licenses

The ATCBridge Kit exists because of other people’s open-source work. Here’s whose, and how we respect it.

Pi2Carplay by Fotsbeats

Pi2Carplay runs Android apps on a car’s wired CarPlay display from a Raspberry Pi 5. It was created and is maintained by Fotsbeats. The CarPlay bridge, launcher, split screen, audio, touch and video features the kit relies on are all their work.

The project’s own source is licensed under the GPL-2.0 (or later). Some components it bundles have their own licenses, as described in the project’s LICENSE-SCOPE.md.

If you find the project useful, star it on GitHub and report your test results there. That’s how it gets better.

What we do, and don’t do

  • We don’t sell the software. Our microSD cards ship blank. You download the official release from the project’s GitHub page.
  • We don’t modify or redistribute the Pi2Carplay image or any of its bundled components.
  • We do sell hardware chosen to match the project’s requirements, plus our own guides, wiring drawings and support.
  • We pass bugs upstream. Software problems go to the project’s issue tracker, and we share compatibility results.

This matters because Pi2Carplay is built on an Android base that includes components licensed for non-commercial use only. Shipping pre-installed cards would not respect those terms. Having you install the official release does.
