Hi,
I like to know your experience with the Voice Infos App:
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fabbro.voiceinfos.trial
This App is listed as OFFICIAL Android Auto compatible:
http://play.google.com/store/apps/collection/promotion_3001303_android_auto_all
But, I don't know how to use it!
It's not listed anywhere in AA and I don't know how to start it.
Can you help me?

Any clues whether Here Maps will support Android Auto? I personally like it more than Google Maps so it would be great to know if it is coming to Android Auto.

Google does not support 3rd party mapping apps on Android Auto, only audio and messaging apps.
Well, I really hope Google gets a change of heart. That is terrible The strenght of Android is the fact that you can tailor everything to your needs. Let's hope Google sees that as well. Google maps is far from perfect.

what is your problem with Google Maps?
Turn by turn navigation in my country (Belgium) is sub-par compared to Here Maps or the Tomtom app for example. It's just not as good. I am not saying it is bad, it's just that there are better navigation apps. Turn-by-turn navigation is something I use everyday and then I want only the best.
And I am not condemning Google maps, I just want Google to allow alternative navigation apps on Android Auto. The openness of the Android platform has always been their strength. Locking things down is not going to make anything better. One can only hope for a hack to become available to be able to use all apps with Android Auto.
Hello !
Same question for me.. when I travel and I need GPS, I use HERE because everything is offline, I can't use google maps in other country because I have no roaming
I think this discussion fits pretty good into this thread.... (is there a need for a xposed AA module ?)

this may be an alternative to Andorid Auto for Here Maps access
Hello,
I have Android auto app on my Blu(TM) One Life X2 android phone to work with m 2016 Veloster. I was very used to Here Maps and tried to add Here Maps to add to Android Auto. SInce AA is a Google App and it did not let me do that. So, I found AutoMate (Tried to put the link, post denied it, Just search the name AutoMate on Google Play Store) and it lets one to add Here Maps as a preferred Map/Naviation App and as well as other apps on your phone to work with the Dashboard.
Hope this works.

He is not talking about android auto.. You can't do it there.. He is talking about automate which run android. It basically can use any android app there. It just a kind of launcher which mimic the interface of android auto. If this is what someone wants, it is ok. But you can't use this in car which their system support only android auto..

I know that the apk for Android auto can be easily obtained from the play store or apk mirror website. But what is the software used on the receiving device? The screen in the car has to be running on something for it to be able to receive android auto from the phone in the first place right? Does anyone know what where to look get that software. I would like to try it out.
Thanks.
I'm using (Headunit Reloaded Emulator for Android Auto), you can find it on google play, and it work like a dream
Thanks. Did not know about that
I recently discovered that AA no longer allows me to re-organize my app order. The apps are all there, but there is no way to re-organize them. Has anybody else encountered this issue?
For the record, it use to be that there were three lines that allowed one to pick up and move the apps within the AA Customize Launcher setting, which allowed one to drag-and-drop to the position desired (e.g. putting Waze at the top of the launcher so it was the first app encountered on the head-unit so no scrolling would be required).
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
B.D.

Yes, it is a limitation of Android Auto...
Some months ago I was a beta tester of Google play services and in Android Auto was possible to reorganize the app order.
But now I'm not a beta tester and there is only an option to select the apps you want to use in Android Auto.
This is my experience, maybe it will be useful for you
Dear all,
My problem with AA is the following:
Google Assistant (currently used in AA) does not work with many languages (most of the small languages are excluded) which is a big problem when pronouncing an address in Google Maps using that language.
In the past AA used the "Speech to text" module, which supports most "small" languages and works flawlessly (eg when pronouncing an address in Google Maps directly on a mobile phone).
Is there a way, patch or similar, to allow AA to use the "speech to text" module again, instead of Google assistant?
Thanks in advance
I have exactly the same problem. Wrote to Waze. I am considering getting an Iphone for Android auto...
Only with tricks. I made it work with Tasker script. But is a big script which does many other things, and if i remember well it needs root. The basic idea which I use Is this if anyone want to re create it:
- Detect if android auto is running.
-If android auto is running, change keyboard to Google voice (so now speak to every app instead of writing).
When you use any app in android auto, for example waze, just pressing the icon to open keyboard to mobile to write there, which is happening but now in phone what is actually open is Google voice (as this is now the "keyboard" so you just speak as you done at past. . It works the same.
- when you exit android auto, tasker detect it and put back the keyboard you was using..
The script to change keyboard need root as i remember. There was other most complicated ways which didn't need root. I don't know if still work. Most I tried wasn't..
You can make it more complicated. For example, using Google voice only to specific applications, and not all, if you also need this. I may create a YouTube video for this and post it here if i have time.
Problem solved with AA Speech 2 Text app.
Hello
Is there any way to search for AA compatible apps in the app store?
Or: is there something like an AA app store?
My intention is to have a way to see all AA compatible apps.
Thank you.
not sure if those are all, but here are a few: https://play.google.com/store/apps/stream/promotion_collections_android_auto
