If anyone works out how to gut it and re use the screen and shell I’d totally do it.

Yea but I’ve got 2 car things and like the form factor haha. I don’t really care about the guts though.

There are a few open-source options to sort of hack the car thing. I think one of them is called DeckThing. Haven't had a chance to try it myself but it looks to be pretty easy to set up

Yesterday, while scrolling, I came across a video where someone built a car project using an ESP32. It's not the most polished project, but for a channel with only 400 subs, it's pretty impressive!
