Bosch Live Data Interface x Karoo
At the moment I'm developing a App for the new Live Data Interface and will share it trough Git if anyone is interested. Will include a complete Onboarding Wizard for pairing etc.
Best regards

Hi there :)
The app is almost ready.I sucessfully installed it on my Karoo and registered all available Datafields from the Bosch LDI. I think some will be useless like a Field for diagnosic port, charger connected, eBike locked ...
Interesting Fields are SPEED, CADENCE, RIDER POWER, BATTERY, LIGHT STATUS, ODOMETER.
My last step ist now the configuration menu with onboarding wizard for bike connection. You can connect 4 different bikes to one computer (for those who got more than one bike ;) )
Another problem at the moment ist installation of the app. It's no longer possible to just send the link to the hammerhead companion app. I will try to list the app at hammerheads directory for easy installation.
I will keep you up to date with screenshots as soon as it works :) -
I simply switched the repo to public. Think it's easier. https://github.com/julianhaas386-oss/Bosch-LiveDataInterface-for-Karoo
Best regards. I will get on testing when I have more time.

Well this will probably not work for the foreseeable future in general.
BLE Advertising is not allowed on Karoo Devices for 3rd party Extensions. This is the key factor tho for it to work.
We can only wait and hope that Hammerhead will consider making a first party integration for this since opening BLE Advertising for 3rd party apps is a bit risky from a security standpoint and shouldn't be allowed.
The feature will only work on Karoo 3 devices tho since BLE Advertising is only possible in Android 12 and above.
The Karoo 2 is still based on Android 8.1 so this feature cannot be implemented for it.
