The full story
A maker built a launcher for a Chinese Android 10 car head unit, using Claude Opus 5.5 to explore what the unit could do and to design the launcher.
Opus disassembled the built-in audio player and found a stream carrying Bluetooth track information, but listening in was flaky and garbled the stream, so the result was mostly functional rather than production ready. A different Claude model later found a log written by the Bluetooth chip that held the same data and could be read without disturbing the built-in player, and it also helped with HVAC controls that Opus had not found.
