Hi Everyone,
I am looking for some advice regarding the head unit in my 2019 South African Toyota Fortuner.

The unit comes with Mirrorlink in it which does not work, confirmed by Toyota SA. I would really like to have Android Auto working on the unti and was thinking of replacing the OEM unit but.
I found a USB Carlinkit which I thought would solve my problem.
This requires an app to be loaded onto the head unit from a USB stick. I tried to load the app onto the head unit using the USB App install option from the menu but it comes up with a error. My radio reads MP3's from the USB Memory stick no problem but when I try to load the Autokit.apk file it comes up with this message.
The head unit appears to be running Android (could be wrong) and it should be able to load apps onto it.
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong or perhaps a head unit that has been crippled?
If so, I would obviously like to uncriple it, any suggestions
Thanks

Wondering if
A- The head unit is actually locked to prevent apps being loaded onto it.
B- If so, seems that I can still update the firmware, so if there is another firmware that isn't locked that I could load onto it.
I downloaded the source code from the suppled Denso site but it is way beyond my paygrade
That's a factory headunit, made by Fujitsu-Ten for Toyota. If it support Android Auto, it would be mentioned in the owner's manual. It runs Linux, you're not going to be able to load any Android apps into it.
Toyota has only very recently added Android Auto support to some models. Very few for MY 2019, a few more for 2020.

Seems that the version of linux they are running on is Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) https://www.automotivelinux.org/
is an open source project run by the Linux Foundation with Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, Volkswagen, Ford, Mercedes & Honda as members. Was started in 2016 from what I can see
There is also a wiki at https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/

Hey, I've got a 'ghetto' little in car computer system set up and it's a pain having to tap-tap on a 7 inch onscreen keyboard obviously not made for fingers. A full size keyboard just isn't practical in a car environment, however the Kaiser already has a very nice petite one built in.
If anyone can make me a program to send keystrokes FROM the phone TO the computer via USB or bluetooth (usb preferred) I'll paypal them $5, or whatever they see it worth. Thanks a lot!
Good Luck finding someone to do THAT much in depth programing for $5.
But Hey You could get a Sub Sammich!

It's not that much work... (although I'm not taking on any more projects at the moment).
You just need a RAPI Client/Server App coding that can pass the key strokes back and forth.

I'm confused if by car computer system you mean a legitimate computer in your car. If so, GRemote should do the trick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427097
you could also use mymobile. It mirrors the keystrokes to the computer or vice versa. not sure if this is what you need but thought I would throw it out there.
ill do it
and retire to oz on the payout..... all £3.28 @ todays exchange rate
It could be helpful. I plan to install a computer in my Nissan Xterra, ITX board and 7" touchscreen LCD. I have the ITX board and everything is ready to install but it's too much money to buy the touchscreen LCD. So instead I deside to break a laptop a part (Dell LH400 NON touchscreen 12") I plan to have the screen in the front somewhere and the board will be in the back and control the laptop with my tilt (w/USB cable or BT). It will be nice to have this kind of software on my tilt.
mayby it should have shortcut to to find application on the computer, like video, pix, gps software, players and more
Gremote
as haywiremonkey said Gremote works very well for that i use it all most every day, i use it over wifi but it says it works over bt also just never tried it. i found gremote in the touch pro software section of the forum.

Thanks for the link, this application is PERFET
its a long shot but maybe some here can help or at least refer me to someone who can...
i was wondering if anybody was able to enable the Bluetooth and/or FM capabilities of the Nook Color. as it has the wl1271 which according to TI supprorts BlueTooth and FM Transmitting and receiving . it seems to me that it might be a simple software change to enable both of them.
i tried building the original kernel and inserting the BT firmware scripts i download from TI (Froyo_L27.5.2_Connectivity_1271_Panda-1.0-Linux-x86-Install)
and i still cant get the blutooth to show up :-/
any ideas? is there a possibility that the UART interface is not connected on the NC to the BT and therefore cannot control it? i assumed that this chip has only one Host interface which the wifi uses and therefore there shouldn't be any problems with the other capabilities
This isn't the Q&A section

Apply your question(s) in the proper sub-forum, or it might result in a temporary vacation
Actually i'll leave this open, see where it leads to
Here is a thread about the BT and the FM by pokey9000:

very interesting read...
wow
it is a great post but it got dirty with all bunch of other topics, i think this issue deserves its own thread as it can lead to enabling 2 amazing features for the nook.
so, basically we need to see if the HCI interface pins are connected right to enable this feature...
the minimum requirements according to the document are:
12 BT_EN <--> GPIO on OMAP.
13 HCI_TX <--> UART lines on the OMAP. UART2_TX
15 HCI_RX <--> UART lines on the OMAP. UART2_RX
17 HCI_CTS <--> OMAP UART CTS line. UART2_CTS
19 HCI_RTS <--> OMAP UART RTS line. UART2_RTS
but how can we check that? is it possible that B&N didnt connect this on purpose ?
that would be such a waste, on the other hand they didnt put a Mic support 3.5 headphones jack even that its supported...
Someone needs to open the NC... trace and measure...
as the USB host will not provide any data...
Edit:
I found this link from ti... pre-compiled linux drivers...
you may need a panda board...

The WL127x doesn't work like that. It goes through the UART, so there's no enumeration. The kernel doesn't know if it's working until you run succeed in running an hciattach on the interface.
Folks,
Sitting in a rental car wanting to connect your phone with the bluetooth handsfree?
Got a new stereo headset and want to pair it with your device?
Want to send a file via bluetooth to a friend and need pairing first?
Whenever you want to pair to a device or unpair from a device you have to go deeply into the settings of Android. If you finaly got there, the bluetooth pairing partner is out of pairing mode again...
That's the reason I wrote btPair. On opening the App you can scan for visible devices surrounding you and a red or green image shows you the current pairing status. With just one click you can pair or unpair to any device around you.
It's that simple...
Available on the Market now.
If you have questions, rants, comments or feature requests leave a message here or send me an email.
Cheers

Thanks always bugged me!!!!!

I so needed this about two days ago, thank you!

Thanks for buying and your response.
So, how do you like it? Everthings working as expected?
Cheers
Didn't quite like it. It's full of bugs and have sent you an email of the problem. Hope to see it resolved. Thanks.
Just to clarify: It is not FULL of bugs. There was one bug on one specific device. It was a duplicate device entry (the discovered device was listed after each discovery additionally) on a Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus with HC 3.2.
I was not able to reproduce this behaviour my Xoom with HC 3.2 and all my other devices (including emulator). However, I made some changes and added a function to display already paired devices uppon startup of btPair, and added a button for that.
So version 1.1 is published now.
Cheers
Many thanks to the developer. Now it doesn't show duplicates anymore. Hopefully the developer will add more feature in the future.

Hey there guys, I'm writing in the off topic section about this e-cigarette I've just got, it's called Joyetech Ocular C and it comes with a color touch screen , music player and photo viewer capabilities , bluetooth conectivity, a pedometer to count your steps and from what I understand, it has around 2Gb of memory , it is firmware upgradeable and I'm wondering if there is more that can be done to it in therms of functionality.
It's true that vapers, the people who smoke e-cigarettes as their called, dont really need any of this functionality in their devices since they mainly use them purely for smoking, it's nice however to have something a little extra to go with it.
I've looked online for custom firmwares or methods to customise your firmware for these type of devices, but i've only found info on old devices that come with small monochrome screens and the most you can do is upload logos on to the device.
My interests are on how you can access the root of the system built into these devices since it must have a processor and a file sistem inside, how to edit some of these files , per example, you have the option to upload around 100 pictures and some songs ( the memory on it is 2GB ) but there's no way of deleting them once uploaded, in case your storage gets full.
Also it would be nice if users could implement or extent more functionality in the device, par example it only suports .jpeg files in the photo viewer , .png &/or .gif to use as a screen saver would be nice, more so even video playback capability .
And before I get laffed at for asking so much out of an electronic cigarette, I think that since it does come from the factory with all these functionalities and hardware, it's a shame they dont use it to it's fullest.
So is there anyone having any clues on how to "get inside" these devices and tuning them up ?
I've included the latest firmware I could find for the device as well as the program they offer for you to upload it onto the device. If anybody could crack it opn and take a look inside and see at least what's in there, that would be a start.
Hello I have a motorola edge xt2063-2 and a samsung galaxy a20. My primary phone is the moto and I am completely new to NFC and understanding how it works exactly. When I try to read/write NFC with my moto and tap the back of my samsung a20 it says it is incompatable. On my moto I use an application called NXP Tag Writer. Are these two phones just incompatable with nfc? With tagwriter, i want it so when I touch the A20 it simply just opens up google chrome, I created a 'launch application' com.google.chrome dataset within tagwriter(just as a start for understanding NFC) but when I touch the phones together it gives me a fail error. If there are any threads that may be able to teach nfc for dummies for motorola or can offer any links to guides or different apps I should try or advice it would be appreciated. I really like motorola so I'll probably keep this brand for years to come. Thank you
Samsung heavily modifies everything, moto doesn't. NFC is near field communication - it's a protocol - it works if your phone has the hardware. See preeceding sentence....
You wrote: "Are these two phones just incompatable with nfc?" That's quite the stretch to make - NFC works on both of these devices - they are compatible with NFC.

I'll take a look at your link, and by incompatable I don't mean with NFC, I mean linking each other through NFC, maybe I'm trying to make it so my samsung will store a tag that will make it launch chrome when touching another nfc device? I simply want it so when (with either device) when it touches another nfc capable smartphone, it will launch chrome. Here is a screenshot, I also get 'failed' if I try to erase the nfc tags on my samsung.
