When I install Android auto on my tablet, it appears just like it would on my phone. From my understanding, when one uses AA from a phone and is plugged into compatible HU, AA changes slightly to have the row of icons on the bottom of the screen. Is there a way to get this appearance from solely using on a tablet?
You can see what I mean in the picture attached.
I am looking for a solution as well. I have a a Joying Android Headunit and would like to run it standalone but with the same interface as a phone to a normal deck.

I have noticed that running Android Auto in Phone Mode (as my car doesn't support Android Auto on it's head unit) on the Note 8 results in a UI issue with the spacing between the status bar and the application being non-existent so they overlap each-other as shown in the attached screenshots. This is looks rubbish when trying to use google maps using the Android Auto Phone Mode.
Does anybody have any fixes for this?
Hello boys and girls!
I'm planning to buy my first Android Auto capable head unit for my car.
Since I generally like to customize things, I was thinking that I could also customize a little bit the face of Android Auto, so here are my questions:
1. Can I somehow (i.e. through Tasker or its plugins) create an overlay on top of Android auto (that will appear on the head unit's screen)? I would like to add some extra information on top of Android Auto.
2. Are there any intents through which I could poke Android Auto (i.e. to switch directly to the navi screen upon starting Android Auto)?
Thanks!
Anybody? Any small detail?
I've recently had to say farewell to my Full Android Head Unit, because of a new car. I've always liked Android head units because of their high degree of configuratibility and freedom of choice.
My factory installed head unit supports AA, but the AA interface lacks any configuration. I really dislike the huge player controls when playing some music. This might not be such a problem in portrait mode, but in landscape mode they are ominous present.
Is there a way to minimize or to hide them and if not, at least a way to make them transparent? I'd really like to see the full album art when a song is playing instead of a big control overlay.
Is there a way to do this on an unrooted phone? None of the RV-friendly navigation apps work natively in AA but Id really rather have them display on the trucks display than have to take my eyes off the road to look at the phone.
Hi everyone,
I'm new here and am trying to figure out how to get a clock to display on my AA like in the example image.
The clock on my AA is very very tiny and in the upper left hand corner at all times.
I would really love to be able to display a clock and date like in the example image, but I can only get secondary apps like Spotify to display in the split screen.
I just can't find any info or figure out how to get a clock to display there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Jason
I guess the right part of the screen is from the car itself...
The UI of Android Auto on this picture does not look like Coolwalk. Therefore there is no split screen possible with Android Auto.
