Hi! Thank you for reading my post.
I just got a new BMW 530i and I'm so disappointed that it does not support Android auto. Is there anything that I could use in my car that is something like Android auto? Obviously I don't want to use the Apple thing because I don't like apple but I was wondering if there was anything similar to that that I could use for an Android system in the new car. Thank you

As I'm sure many of you have heard by now Google announced Android Wear on ios this week (start of sept 15) but apparently this first iteration will only work with a few smartwatches. One of those mentioned was the urbane and since ours is basically same hardware I was wondering if anyone has managed to get this to work yet ? Yes I know this means admitting that you have a different phone that is NOT an android but Android Wear is android so it is a valid question. thanks.
UPDATE: Looks like the discussion has already started see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...ndroid-wear-ios-connectivity-t3052524/page106 post#1060 onwards...
The watch requires Wear 1.3 to talk to iOS. It's this reason the older watches aren't "supported" because without an Android phone connecting to them first they'll never get the update.

Mine works fine with iPhone 6 (IOS 8.4.1)
No idea if this is the correct place to ask these questions as I've looked for an "android auto" thread but there just seems to be generic "Chinese" Android Auto threads.
Just purchased the above head unit Pioneer AVH-4100NEX on a "Black Friday" sale.
I have a work iPhone and the Apple Carplay starts without issue (as much as it pains me to admit that). I try to utilize the Android Auto on my Nexus 6 and it simply will not work. Before I go into the huge amount of boring detail about what steps I took and yadda yadda yadda... does anyone here know about this stuff OR knows where I can go to seek assistance?
Thanks!
First let me say, I did use the search tool. I didn't find anything useful. Please don't flame me.
I would love to add Android Auto to my company car, a 2016 Acura MDX. I just wondered if it's possible, without spending a small fortune (or making drastic modifications to a car I don't own). I've seen this Cartizan adapter. Is it a viable option? Are there other options?
Thanks

I recently bought a Boss Digital multimedia receiver that came with Android Auto and such. I was trying to find out more information about what firmware it is running and such to see what all I can do. This is the information that I have so far from the Settings menu on the radio.
SOC:BV800ACP-200109
MCU:ST01-191217
Hardware:2.0.0
Software:2.0.2

Does any one have any information as to what firmware this device runs and such?
Thanks
BTW here is the product page: https://bossaudio.com/product/bv800acp/
I would like to get the play store running on the device as well if possible. I've already enabled Unknown Sources and installed the really cool GTA radio app along with some other changes in the default launcher but I do plan on getting another launcher once I am able to figure out how to do so. I've been an android user since 2008 but this is my first experiment into Android Auto.
What makes you think it runs on Android? It also supports Apple Carplay, and certainly doesn't run iOS. I'm not aware of any units which support Android Auto units which are based on Android. I think there is some kludge using one of those cheap Chinese Android headunits and an app which is supposed to let it support AA.

Because Developer Options, Unknown sources, I can install a lot of android apps, etc.
I understand how android auto works. The phone is pushing everything to the radio. I know that it is not a stand alone android device, I get that much.
