malibu

Custom control suite to replace the BCM in a 2019 Chevy Malibu using a PC.

This project integrates a React-based Tesla-style center display, a digital gauge cluster, and a unified backend system to manage relays, sensors, CAN bus data, and vehicle functions. It enables full replacement of the vehicle's BCM with a custom PC and software suite.

Features

• Tesla-style center screen UI built with React
• Digital gauge cluster with real-time data
• Python backend for vehicle control and CAN bus communication
• Custom relay control logic
• Modular architecture for future upgrades
• GPIO and sensor input support (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi)
• Designed for use in custom automotive PC builds
