Playing with Raspberry Pi's, video streaming and software defined radio (SDR)
Curious to know more about the arrangement... and what SDR you chose / why.
Ah, that's no magic at all. RTL-SDR with adrbox (dump1090 before) and a cheap DVB-T USB receiver. Pi-A (behind the touchscreen) is decoding ADS-B. Additionally, it acts as HTTP and VNC server. Pi-B grabs the VNC stream and does a little upscaling.
VNC is in use for a simple reason: I can catch any disconnects and restart the VNC client. That's way harder to accomplish with a browser. At least in the short amount of time I had to build this (roughly two days)
I'll post some instructions on my blog next week.
Awesome - look forward to it. Now,.. back to ripping the truck apart (there are only four more screws....
We need pictures

Closest thing that I can ever get to one.

I thought this was a pretty good piece of advice. Take what you will from it:
"Don't rely on motivation for anything. It is fleeting and unreliable. Discipline, however, is unyielding. Force yourself to follow through. Things are going to come up in life that get in the way of your goals but that's no reason to let them stop you completely."
-
What if you are not motivated to be disciplined?

Yea,.. that is an issue for many,...

Here's the Dash bezel off and unplugged.
Radio out,.. just plugged it back in to the system.
And despite what @MattSpeller will say,.. there were no extra parts left over.
This was just 'learning'... need to do some researching now, to find all the replacement indicator bulbs and such. Also planning to add a hard wired USB 1aH and 2aH jack to eliminate the auto adapter in now. Might even go so far as to go ahead and hard wire the 120v Inverter as well.... I mean - why not since I have it all apart.
btw: this is for @thwr

Why is your steering wheel completely upside down?
Also what prompted you to disassemble the dash?

LOL.. Steering wheel is 'upside down' as the wheels are turned one direction. Both the front marker lights were out and access to them is through the wheel well.
As for what prompted the disassemble ; Planning to replace the factory radio with a Raspberry Pi and SDR-radio ( in time) I also have a number of indicator lights that need to be replaced. I'm also looking to relocated the control head for the Kenwood d-700 radio

Still uploading tons of media from the week. My Internet connection hates me right now.

Logitech has a great 2 speaker system that isn't tinny at all. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/multimedia-speakers-z200
I ended up buying these. Holy cow are they big! I might have to rearrange my desk!

I might have to re-source these somewhere else (like our Viewing Room) and purchase something else.
I never even thought to look at size specs for these.
