Control Your Car with Alexa

Add voice control to your car using Raspberry Pi and Amazon Alexa.

Nowadays more and more devices can be controlled by voice using services like Google Home and Amazon Alexa. I’ve decided to bring myself up to speed by taking Alexa course at codecademy and adding voice control to my 2006 Infiniti G35 seemed like a good way to test out what I’ve learned. In this tutorial we’ll solder onto your car’s remote so the things you can control are going to be limited to the remote’s capabilities(for now). In order to complete this project you’ll need to have some experience with soldering iron, Raspberry Pi(RPi), Amazon Alexa, AWS Lambda, Javascript/NodeJS/NodePackageManager and basic understanding of electrical circuits or willingness to learn as you go. I’m still a beginner myself and I’m sure there is a better/cleaner way to do this so any feedback is welcomed.”
