 I'm going to talk about some of the videos we're going to be doing looking at this month 2016 Mazda 3 I bought it about a year and a half ago So, you know, not perfectly new but new to me And uh, you know, I had a Mazda 3 before that it was in 09 I think somewhere around there it was about 10 years old when it died and I bought that one And when I bought it the very first day I got it I got Some linux shell scripts And then I got a root shell On the media center inside I quickly Recorded some videos as I was doing this With the intent of doing a series on it a year and a half ago And I played around with it. You know, I said I got a root shell. It's got wi-fi built in It has two usb ports and sd card slot and uh I've been meaning to do a lot more with it at the same time I don't want to screw up my car too bad But I got dialogues popping up on it and stuff like that And I said I recorded these videos a year and a half ago and never posted them And I thought hey, I should post them So I do apologize. Some of them, like I said, are Are not the best quality. It's just me holding my cell phone in the car as I'm figuring this stuff out and I'm very excited Uh, and then other stuff I did with uh with my nicer camera Trying to explain how to do some of the stuff and then when I went to edit it A year and a half later realized some of the video files were corrupt and they were like cutting off So as you watch the videos if It feels like they're incomplete. They kind of are if you guys are really interested in this Maybe I'll do an updated series with a little more in depth on it But in this series, uh, I'm going to show you how to Uh get a root shell by pressing a couple of keys on uh the little dashboard there And show you how you can run scripts off a usb drive just by plugging it in and um And how you can get dialogue box. I have another video where I did dump a bunch of the files from the file system And we looked at them. We saw that it had a full version of busy box on there along with a chur route You know built into that busy box and I go over the jci command. So uh johnson control Systems or johnson control interface is what the program is jci Johnson control systems I think is the name of the company that designed the interface and they have a simple little dialogue program Much like if you've ever played with zenity or x dialogue. It's kind of like that But for the car where you can do Informational dialogues with okay buttons. Yes. No buttons cancel buttons Um, so you can have little dialogue boxes pop up on the screen from a shell script And then get the user input from those button presses something I did not get into although I've read a lot about There are a lot of mods for these system where you can actually create interfaces and little applications using Some css and java script, I guess and that's something that I I really wanted to get into I just Haven't had the chance I bought this car was getting into it and then it became summer and it was too hot to sit out in my car And then I tore my The ligament in my knee and had to have surgery and I was at a commission for a while and then it was summer again So it's just you know one of the florida. It's very hot I have not really had a chance to really sit down and get into this system like I would have But I might in the future anyway That is what this series is this is the first video in that series and I think I have five or six videos Uh, you know some of its repeat stuff because I just talk about the same things But that's what we're going to be looking at over the next couple of weeks Uh, check out the link in the description of the playlist or at the end of this video for the full playlist I hope you enjoy it. Uh, and uh, I hope that if you have a car running Linux You have a root shell on it because you should if you own a device that runs linked you should have a root shell Anyway, thanks for watching visit films by chris.com.
