React App designed to run on a raspberry pi and make driving my car more fun.

running on the raspberry pi:

• odometer (Speed and Rpm)
• Music player and controlls
• File explorerer

Driving my car with only a radio got quite boring. I decided to build my own car infotainment system. I mainly wanted a solution to play the music and audio books I like.
