Controlling Car Lighting & Steering Wheel Buttons via LIN Bus using RealDash!

Hey RealDash Community!

I wanted to share a custom project I’ve been working on that takes our favorite dashboard app to the next level. Instead of just reading telemetry, I’m using RealDash for active, bidirectional control!

In my latest video, I demonstrate a fully integrated system where RealDash directly controls the car’s lighting system. The best part? It all works seamlessly in sync with the car’s original steering wheel buttons communicating via the LIN bus network.

Key features shown in the video:

  • RealDash triggering physical car lighting.
  • Native steering wheel controls integrated via LIN bus.
  • Smooth and real-time response between the physical buttons and the digital dash.

Check out the demonstration video here to see it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMwl1Cm3OPw

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or answer any questions you might have about the LIN integration and the logic behind it. Let me know what you think!
