I got the prius from a dentist who put 45k miles on it and wanted to get rid of it for 10k. it's fully loaded and I had the previous generation for my long commutes to work (1.5 hours one way) and couldn't beat the price. I won't buy one new as they're too expensive.... If i find an unbeatable deal though, i'll take it. The prius saves me nearly $80 in gas each month over the journey, and also allows me to save 800 miles a week on the journey by not driving it to and from work. The journey is a travel/around town vehicle when i want comfort. The prius is meant to get me 54mpg and cost me less than $20 a week in gas driving to and from work. For awhile, the prius had a bad read wheel bearing that ultimately was the reason for getting the journey. I traded the prius in for the journey but my soon to be ex wife refused to sign the trade in paperwork even though the prius was undrivable and even though the dealer was going to give me 10k for it.. she refused to sign the papers, so now i have two vehicles until the divorce is final. (the judge was pissed at her for refusing the sign the paperwork to get rid of it btw).. in either case, while the prius was out of commission, i managed to put 20k miles on the journey in 6 months... that's why I like driving the prius

Yes, you'll need the dodge camera harness to install it and have to take it to the dealer to have them enable the camera function. If you get the lockpick and a standard rca camera you don't need to do any of that and you get the additional features such as movies while driving, etc etc etc. I don't have the harness number on hand, but i rememeber it was about $40 or something along those lines.

Sorry, I didn't get notifications that there were responses to this thread. This is the camera i used: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P914PMY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage I had to remove the entire rear door plastics and a coat hanger (and a shit load of dish detergent) to shimmy the cable down the window cable tube to mount it. then electrical tapes the entire wire to the existing wiring harness that runs behind the plastics. I didn't pull all the internal plastics off, i simply pushed the wire behind the plastics and ran it down by the door plastics on the floor, up under the dash and into the back of the radio where the c8 was.

I got the lockpick here on the forums for $100, used. I am also going to add cameras to my sideview mirrors so i wanted the additional features.. couldn't pass that up.

Wrote an app to sniff codes when they are performed between 5 and 10 times. You can see in the video that when i loop the same action (locking and unlocking the vehicle) 10 times, they filter to the top. This will also work for rolling windows and messing with just about everything in the vehicle. I'm going to release this shortly, to help those who want to know how to capture radio buttons, ac buttons, etc.

The site has been moved from uhacknect.com to Auto-Mated.com. I figure the name of the site would deter many so i've renamed it.

New video up showing the latest build and queues working.

The specs for the device you need to build are on our page.. under the hardware tab on the home page. It's fairly straight forward and relatively cheap. I'm working to build it on new proprietary hardware that will be even cheaper, in the future.

Alright. the signature image is complete. I'm sure bugs will come up, but won't be able to do anything about that until more people are on board and using the system.

Since the image is out and i'm waiting for others to test and provide feedback, i'm going to work on dynamic signature blocks for forums, based on vehicle metrics...

OK!!!! For the first time... the image is now online and downloadable for use. To get to it, create an account on the site and goto my profile. From there, there is a button labeled "Latest Pi Image". Click that and download it. To burn the image to an SD card of your choice, follow these instructions: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/ Once the image has been placed on the microsd/sd card, place the card back in the Pi, hit the pair button on your bluetooth obd adapter and power up the pi. It will automatically pair the device. From here, you need to VNC into the raspberry pi to configure the wireless access points that you want it to automatically connect to. Download the VNC tool of your choice for your OS and connect to the device via it's ip address. From here, there is a wifi configuration tool on the desktop that is pretty straight forward. Configure as many AP's as you need/want. If you have the front display on your pi, that's mentioned in the hardware list on our site (and only $10), you'll have a unique key printed on the display. you'll need that when registering your pi to your vehicle on our site. If you don't have the display, PM me and i'll walk you through getting that key, as it's not appropriate to post it here. I know there are a lot of steps, and tools required to get things working. I'm working on a web interface to configure all wifi connections so that you won't have to VNC into the device. If you have remote start on your journey, it should work straight away. If you don't have remote start for your journey, you can still track vehicle metrics from our site, while you purchase and install the remote start module for the journey (or you can just keep it to tracking metrics). In the future, i'll be adding a GPS device for tracking your vehicle, and what the metrics were for a certain location. I'm also working on an android version (to replace the pi) which will allow you to use an old cellphone with all of its hardware, to manage your vehicle.. this is a bit down the road, though.

Image is packaged up and ready to upload to the site. Also fixed the email registration issue.. it should now work for everyone. If you registered for an account previously but didn't get an email, i've gone ahead and activated your account. new users shouldn't have that issue now.

Scheduling is finished, which means that i'm compressing the image today and putting it up on the website sometime either today or tomorrow. I'll make a post here when i've finished it!

Added a scheduled action widget.. working on getting the backend working for that, but it will allow you to schedule actions to be performed automatically at the time you've designated.. for example, i'm nutorious for forgetting to lock my journey at night.. so i've scheduled it to lock at 10pm each night. I get out the door for work @ 445 every morning so i have it start the journey and unlock it so i can just hop in and run. After i get this feature working, it'll be one of the last important thing I have in the backlog (http://uhacknect.com/home.php?action=milestones)

Alright. The start, stop, lock and unlock buttons on the website are now working. I also ajaxified them so that the status of the vehicle and actions list automatically update every 5 seconds without having to refresh the page. I'm VERY CLOSE to releasing the image. I know i've promised several times, but i'm getting close. I need to get the backend finished before I can release it...

I'm still alive, I promise.. had a few major court dates to go to.. but everything is starting to level out again. I'm back on the project! I've slimmed the pi image down and will be pushing it soon. I'm working to enable the remote start buttons on the dashboard now.. rewriting the tables so that they automatically refresh with json periodically. More to follow!

Got a gen1 c8 lock pick here on the forum several months ago and a rear camera on amazon. Did the install last night and couldn't be happier. Now I just need navigation!

ROFL.. Cover it with vinyl that's the same color as the car

The new ones do look like crap. That's why I got a used fully loaded 2010... The last good looking year they have before the entire front end was a massive grille.

that was a one off from the posts actual purpose. he merely asked if i had done it and i said i was researching it. i ended up just going to the dealer to get it done, though

Not really hacking anything, pulling vehicle metrics (the same thing apps do on the android/apple market) and doing a basic replay on the start and stop command that the key fob does. now, if I was changing the way the car functioned, i'd be rolling into hacking. My plans are to take a few things the vehicle already does, and allow them to be done beyond the range of the key fob. I see nothing wrong with that

Alright, i've gotten all but an intermitent ding bug fixed with my module (happens every 50 starts). I'm going to start compressing the pi image and posting it on the web ASAP. For now, the parts list is on the webpage. I'm currently testing a cheaper elm327 device that will save everyone about 40$. If i can get that working with the same great results and security as the obdlink lx, i'll change the hardware list on the page to reflect it. A couple of things to note. the obd link between the uhacknect device and elm327 adapter is automatic. you simple hit the pair button on the elm device and then power the pi up.. it'll automatically pair and save it. adding wifi to the pi has to be done manually until i get the web interface complete, this can be done by connecting the pi to a tv via the HDMI cable and using the wifi application on the desktop. be sure to add all wifi networks you want it to connect to, so it loops through them to find one that's active.. for example, if you're at home, you may not want to use your mifi device, and instead your home wifi.. or at work, etc etc.. You'll have to add the lcd to the pi to get your security code, if you choose not to get one, you'll have to ssh into the pi to get your key.. It's only $8, so i'd do it. If you want me to build your pi, I'll purchase them for you at cost to build and ship it to you. Just let me know and i'll price it out for you and give you a timeline. You'll need at least a 16gb memory card for this image. I'm still working on compressing it to work on smaller cards, but i'm not there yet, so the image will be semi large.

You can easily chirp from a stop, but there is no tire burning as it's FWD. I will say though, in sport with the electric motor assist, it's pretty quick to about 40mph. Then it hits optimal gearing and a herd of cattle could outpace it. i average 53+mpg on it, and generally have to fill it up every week for about $20. saves me $20 a week over the journey, and also since it's already got 120k miles on it, it saves me mileage on the journey. Truth is though, I tried to trade it in for the journey, but my estrainged wife refused to sign the title over to dodge.. she wanted to get every penny from it that she could in the divorce, even though i tried to explain to her that we owe 18k on it, and it's worth maybe 10... i managed to get the dealership to give me 12k in trade in and roll the rest into the journey.. but she's an idiot without basic math skills.... so there we are.

Ha-ha. I drive nearly 2 hours one way from work every weekday. Need that Prius as my daily driver so I don't put those miles on the journey. Sadly, it has a right rear frame issue that eats wheel bearings... Replaced it 3 times now.. May need to replace the rear axle so I'm driving the journey to work for now. Had it less than 4 months and has 11k miles on it

haha, why? because I have a prius?
