    Interesting method. Could be used on loads of different things. Thankfully in the UK the water meters (at least around me) broadcast the meter reading so that they can be read remotely. I just used a cheap usb radio tuner and a raspberry pi zero to receive the broadcast, and post to MQTT for home assistant to read.

    I'm sorry, but I feel like your title and description are misleading. "we show you how to easily retrofit CarPlay in your car" - no you didn't, you just talked about possibilities and options in a 'theoretically you can' way. "We provide a step-by-step guide" - well, again.. you didn't :D I'd suggest adding more b-roll of what you're talking about and showing more actual projects with actual step-by-step that people can follow along. Just theoretical options aren't bad, but theoretically if I just work harder, I can buy a Ferrari :D I love watching smaller channels grow, so don't take this as hate, more like constructive criticism ;)
