I have been using BTmusic to direct my TomTom directions through my car kit, as I dont have an A2DP compatible kit, plus I dont think a2dp would do as I want.
Whilst I appreciate the effort that has gone into BTmusic, I was wondering if there was an alternative, which only sends sound through to the kit when needed, as opposed to sending nothing though to the kit and constantly setting the kit to mute.
I know the developer is aware of this bug and the reply was that it would be too much work for him, which is a real shame as I would be more than happy to donate to his cause!
has anyone got any alternatives?
Does any body know whether android head unit can control the car CD changer or not?
I suppose that there should be extra wirings for it but could be that someone has already an idea.
no
Hello everyone, I need to detect the tire receiver (TPMS-85) to my unit S 160 kit kat 4.4.4. My bluetooth reads all mobile tpms but the receiver does not see it! I think it's a lack of bluetooth protocol. I ask for help to the entire board for a solution to this lack of my unit. I am willing to try any solution. Thank.
It won't work, beacuse TPMS unit needs BT4.0, and the headunit only has 3.0.
There is no one method to activate the firmware? It's just a real hardware issue? At this point I can not do anything.

Android Auto will not work on your headunit.
However, you CAN use Android Auto the way it is supposed to work: install it on your phone and connect the phone to the unit using Easy Connect.
Thanks

Did I bought the right headunit? Because i thought this unit is self supporting.
Do you have a link or right APK file of Android Auto because i cannot find a official version?

Android Auto is not meant to be run on the head unit. ANY head unit. It always runs on the phone.
You can download it from here:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-auto/android-auto-2-0-6427-release/
Make sure you get the right version for your processor

I got this app installed as working version. Thanks I thougt Android Auto will be the perfect solution between my Headunit and Asus Dual sim Zenfone Z00AD
My experience is that Android Auto is not nice to work with I found out. Searching contacts is not good working aswell voice control. It is also not posible to control more phone apps.
Does i do something wrong?
I am looking for a good handsfree solution so i cann easily use de apps and functions on my phone with the head unit I bought.
Is there maybe a list with "Best car apps". So i can setup the best and safest way to drive my car and control my mobile phone on a friendly way?

Easy Connect is the best solution for mirroring your phone and it's included by default in factory ROMs.

Thanks for your answer.
But this is not easy to connect with.
When I get in the car, I activate first my phone Bluetooth and Hotspot and the Unit headset. Then every time he is asking for a USB connection? This setup takes long!
After he is making connection I have an Mirror and I can take out the USB and it's working. When I leave the car and i come back I have to do the setup again? This is not handy for short driving.
Other quistion; With mirroring only headup is possible and no landscape, so everything is smaller then on the phone and when you drive this is also not save to use.
Some body who can help me further?
Hello everyone,
I'd love to have a display to which I could connect my Android phone (via Android Auto) in a similar way like I can do in my Seat Ibiza, just so I could have Android Auto on a big(ger) screen on any car I'm driving (parents, brother, friends, work).
I've done some googleing, but couldn't find a successful project (there's one person who said it was quite unstable), so I came here to get confirmation for either side.
I appreciate your answers! Thanks a lot in advance!
You can install Android Auto app on your Android Head Unit, but you get the problem when you try to call. The app thinks that the radio is the phone, and does not recognizes it as a handsfree. If somebody could tweak it, it would be wonderful.
