Fascia
A 10-inch Android Automotive head unit built around a Toradex Verdin iMX95 module — a bright, high-resolution touch display that streams over Bluetooth, runs wired CarPlay and Android Auto over USB-C, and feeds an external amplifier through line-level pre-outs. It drives no speakers itself.
Status: Early — schematic only. The carrier schematic is complete and passes electrical rule checks, but there is no PCB yet: no layout, no routing, no board fabricated, assembled or powered. The display panel is selected but not confirmed — its datasheet has been requested and not yet received, so the backlight driver and the panel connector pinout are still unresolved. Nothing here is a tested or purchasable product.

Why LVDS, and why a bridge
The panel is detached from the board and sits up to a metre away across the dash. MIPI DSI, which the module produces natively, is designed for on-board runs of a few centimetres and does not survive that trip in a car's electrical environment. LVDS does — it is differential and low-swing, which is why it is what automotive panels actually use.
The module's own LVDS output tops out at 1920 × 1080, below the 1920 × 1200 the 10-inch panel market is built around. So the design takes DSI off the module — where the resolution is easily in spec — and converts it to dual-link LVDS on the carrier board, right at the ribbon connector. The DSI never leaves the board, and the long run across the dash is LVDS the whole way.

The schematic is generated from scripts rather than drawn by hand, so the generator is the source of truth. Full design notes, part selection reasoning and open questions are in the repository.
