This is the issue I always have with car interface hacking - its uncomfortable and batteries suffer!

Yea if I get more into the hardware hacking side of things, it'd be great if I could add a wire harness to be able to connect external power to the headunit/disconnect it from the car battery. I never had to fully disconnect battery terminals or anything but I had some scares with slow reboot times. I also want to look into LoRa or similar wireless tech to be able to send terminal commands to the car from my desk

Nothing like sitting in my lx with my laptop and techstream running while my steering wheel tries to reset its position and crush my laptop.
