Hey people.
I have ordered a BMW motorbike, which has a wheel interface on the left handlebar.
This wheel controls various things on the bike, but also a seperate sat nav unit (Garmin something or other)
Anyway I have found a device called wunderLINQ which will convert the handlebar wheel interface into keyboard input
It has Up, Down, Left, Right, Enter and Escape.
It also sends data from the bike (tyre pressures, RPM, speed, etc etc)
I know some vehicles have android auto without a touchscreen (Mazda and audi at least) and I wondered if there was a way to get the android auto app on my phone to act like this?
Cheers,
Tom.

Hi, this note to signal the release of my Vehicle Sound Simulator for Windows Phone 7 !
Using this app (if possible, connected to your car AUX input), you can simulate 4 vehicles true engine sound while driving.
The App use GPS speed along with accelerometer to enhance your driving experience and entertain your kids !
Currently available vehicles are:
Motorbike
Train
Jet
Helicopter
When steering, you'll experience skidding tires, plane stall alarm, and train rail sound.
Trial version is limited to only 2 vehicles, and 60 seconds of fun.
After this time, you'll have to restart the app.
To enjoy the full experience, please support me buying this app !
More vehicles coming soon.
Some suggestions for the best sound experience:
Find a place where the phone is firmly attached to the car and cannot shake.
If you displace phone position, change vehicle to recalibrate.
Connect the phone to your car aux input
Start the app or change vehicle only when stopped and not driving.
If you find any trouble, or have suggestions, don't hesitate to contact me from the about page. Attached some screenshot
Have fun !

not really fun... it miss acceleration state
it has only idle and running state
i hope next update you add it
thanks by the way
Cannot understand
Hi abdelamine,
I cannot understand your statement. This App simulate the engine acceleration, did you try it in a car ? Acceleremeters are used to simulate the acceleration and compensate the low GPS precision, the running engine is simulated in a real manner. The only thing missing, probably, can be the gear changin, but this is a behaviour I'm working on. Can you explain better what you mean for missing "acceleration state" ? However, thanks for your comment.
I posted this over on reddit, but I figured this might be a better community to ask so sorry if you've seen this already on r/tasker or r/android auto.
My parents just purchased a new 2017 chevy spark with android auto (I'm not sure of the version of android auto but I can check if necessary). I'm a pretty broke just out of college student and I'm looking to do something nice for my Dad for the holidays that won't break the bank. Because of this I was wondering if there was anything I could script for tasker that would automate navigation, music playback or something along those lines using NFC tags. There is a weird thing with the Spark they purchased in the sense that it doesn't have a microphone button on the steering wheel, but it does have a microphone. You just have to activate it by pressing the touch screen icon on the Android Auto head unit. Despite being a baby boomer, he's very tech savvy and will likely automate his whole house if he gets into the whole tasker thing.
If anyone has any other low cost quality of life improvement ideas for tasker in addition to the android auto integration I'd love to here them!
Help Needed
I bought this unit as my primary GPS for a JEEP Grand Cherokee and began loading preferred apps. before actually cutting any holes in the JEEP dashboard.
I am aware of the heavy load that it puts on the car battery so it has been under test on my desk. Having fathomed out the wiring, the audio connections, the aerial adpator and loade the SD card with favourite music tracks the unit no longer boots up to a Home screen and barely manages to display the Android symbol. I need to know if there is an onboard battery and whether the unit can be remotely accessed.
OR is there a more ominous reason for the blank screen?
Hey guys, I've got a px5 1024x600 MTCE octa-core head unit running the latest version of the Hal9k rom in a 2015 nissan altima. I've been looking for a solution to an issue for a while now. It's been a problem even on the stock rom, but I flashed the hal9krom hoping a custom rom would help, but I still haven't found a solution.
I have a heads up display in the dash behind the steering wheel that has a popup that will display audio info. After installing the headunit, if I am not actively in a2dp, the radio app, or the music app, the heads up display will repeatedly flash "no audio" (it will display a full second, disappear for a tenth of second, then immediately display again, repeatedly). This covers up the rest of the info on the heads up display, and the constant flashing on the dash is distracting. If I enter the a2dp or music app, the pop up will go away, but if I use the radio, it will repeatedly show a pop up with the current radio station.
I'm pretty sure it's related to the canbus, but cannot figure out how to configure it. If I set the canbus in factory settings to off, no pop-ups will appear, but the steering wheel buttons also won't work. Any ideas on how to get the pop up to show only one time for a second, or to not pop up at all, but have the steering wheel buttons still work?
Ok, after some trial and error, I figured out a solution. Switching from the Nissan(raise) canbus to the camry15(simple) canbus allows the steering wheel buttons to work, but the heads up display no longer shows audio notifications, which is what I wanted.
Do you have any suggestions to replace the above factory Unit. The Heater controls are in the head unit and controlled by the touch screen ( i know its dumb) also I cant seem to find a unit to do this except for the 12 inch tesla screens and I dont like them but will buy ne if I have to.
thanks
yeah having AC in the touch screen is so annoying, my car has that too. but of course the audio gets physical dials and buttons on the dashboard AND steering wheel
Have you looked into the iDataLink Maestro?
