Comment on Need a second opinion on a project idea (Pi5 car headunit)
mierdabird@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 days agoI would especially advise against relying on battery banks due to the heat, if you’re just going to use it in the car and already going to the trouble of customizing so much hardware I’d find a way to run a power supply off a switched 12v fuse or wire from the car - just convert to 5v/USB power. I’m sure there are generic kits online

Yeah that might end up being necessary, I haven’t found any easy solution to provide the 5A/5V required by a Pi5. Still pondering the power supply issue.
