Issues/Questions:
1) The interface is not great at this low resolution. Sometimes when the screen is redrawn it covers up other menus/buttons. Is 800x480 just to low of a resolution or can the interface be adjusted to work better? Larger fonts? Already set to largest possible in the settings.
Try the official Pi Touch its also 800 x 480 but there are no issues with buttons being covered up etc., but for your application in a golf cart you should prolly just use your Smartphone. It will be a much better experience. Just keep in mind that the WebUI was not designed for in-vehicle use.
2) The BT speaker can take a 3.5mm stereo input. I would prefer to use this so it is hard wired. Can I output audio from the RPi's 3.5mm port instead of over HDMI or BT?
Yes. System Config, Integrated audio, Firmware mode (Legacy). Read the ( i ) help
3) Can the interface be simplified/customized for a small touch screen? I won't have internet, so can I remove the Radio menu/features altogether?
Not possible.
4) If I end up using a BT speaker, is there a way for the RPi to automatically connect to it when started? Right now I have to search and connect to it each time I power up.
Thats not normal. Once its paired your should only have to connect to it, not do a scan/pair then connect.
