Do you own an early 4th generation (1984-1989) Corvette? Is your car equipped with a BOSE system? Are you frustrated by the lack of options when it comes to repairing or upgrading your BOSE sound system? The Comvette Project grew out of a need to find a way to bring these early 4th generation cars out of the past and into the present while preserving the aesthetics and integrity of these wonderful cars. When the 4th generation Corvette was being developed, GM worked with BOSE to create a sound system for the new Corvette. The BOSE sound system was a wildly popular option. Of the 206,218 Corvettes built from 1984 to 1989, 90% were equipped with the BOSE sound system.
All of these factors have convinced me that there is a sizable group of C4 owners who could benefit from a drop-in replacement for the BOSE head unit. One that addresses the above issues and is also upgradable as new features are required. My foremost priority is to build a unit that blends with the "F-14A Tomcat" design asthetic of the early C4's and has today's technology inside. And no dashboard hacks! Here's a list of items that I want to incorporate into this project over time:
☑ FM stereo radio. At the core of The Comvette Project is a Raspberry Pi micro-computer running Linux. The benefit of having a Linux based computer at its core is that it can customized in ways not yet imagined. It's an ambitious project and the major parts are complete but there's still more to be done. That's why I've released the source code and supporting files to the public as "Open Source". Hopefully others will join in and we'll have an amazing project! |
