Those few who wish to invest time, can do it for a profit - OR - taking the step to grow a community based effort.
Now... The supplier of the Dashboard / telematics system is
Visteon Corporation. A global supplier of cockpit technologies. In a matter of days, at CES,
Visteon is announcing a developer program for their technology platforms. Probably not that different from the "apps" that are provided in the '17 camaro HMI update. Considering their platform approach, insights gained from owners of other vehicles integrated with Visteon technology may be applicable to any customization efforts.
Is this the next Camaro update or a HACKED rendition?
The Gen 6 Camaro leverages,
CanBus, GMLan, HMI and others to control the lighting, hvac, seats. The dash and mylink system's communicate over the in-car networks. Based on Visteon's docs, it's highly plausible that the dash cluster and the mylink system share a common controller that is capable of OTA updates.
Now... While enabling existing code for a front camera is "COOL", personally, I think the everybody is ready for much more. IMO the Camaro, and Car's in general , lack a layer of contextual personalization based on location, historical activity, external and internal environment, etc. With A/I control of the HVAC, heated seats, steering wheel heater, music, lighting, etc. The combinations are endless. Is GM willing to open up their platform for innovation?? Let's hope so. Otherwise.....
