I have a JVC head unit, which has a tiny volume rocker on the top left, which is basically invisible (although it is there). JVC has a gesture system built in - it lets you change the volume with a gesture on the screen, which is excellent, and what I typically use. It's an older car, so there's no volume control on the steering wheel.
When Android Auto starts up, it of course takes over the input events, and doesn't bubble them down to the car's OS -- so, I can't change volume on the screen using the JVC style gesture. Is there any way to restore this functionality? It's honestly making me consider using just bluetooth for audio and propping my phone back on the dashboard again for nav, since it's a backwards step in overall UX.

Hi,
I know it is partly mentioned in a few threads already, but nobody explicitly asked that question (or answered it respectively). [It is regarded to the bundled headset, but applies to most 1-button-headset out there]
Status Quo:
- when I double tap the headset button -> redial + unlock the screen
- when I long tap the headset button -> Google Now opens + unlock the screen
- one tap plays and pauses music, but is also a very fragile setting as sometimes it starts a previous track or begins the track from the beginning
Problem with this:
- I have to unlock the phone and skip tracks manually
- I unlocked the phone accidentally a few times due to that setting
Question: How can I get rid of this very quirky mapping? And also, how can I get the double tap working to skip a track?
What I tried:
- Headset Button Controller -> Didn't work at all
- DoubleTwist -> Worked, but also everytime I skip a track it crashes the phone app and demands me to retype the SIM code
- a few other things, like flashing other ROMs and playing with a lot of settings

Headset Button Controller works complete fine for me.
From 4.1.2 onwards no app can intercept long press it will always go to Google now, that how Google decided. Learn to live with it.
For everything else Headset Button Controller is the way to go
It will solve ur redial issue, just go to Advanced tab ->Advanced settings->Check redial fix
Headset button controller works but only for one action/ first track. it doesn't skip tracks after. any help?
I tried a few things but still could not skip tracks with the bundles headset. Most earphones out there cater for iPhone controls so they won't work either. As far as a I am aware, the urbeats and the specific htc e240 earphones work a treat. I bought the cheap
E240 set and they work great and also change volume.

Hey Everyone,
I recently started having this weird volume problem while using navigation on AA. The navigation volume always used to match the other voice alert volumes, but now the navigation is a lot louder. Now when I have navigation at a good volume, I can't hear my texts being read.
Not sure if it's something with an AA update, or a Maps update. Is anyone else having this issue, or notice any volume changes like that?
Yes... it seems a recent update to Android Auto moved the navigation volume from the 'alerts' channel to the main Android Auto channel. Please leave feedback for Google within the Android Auto app if you want to see the old behavior restored.
Google… why do you do this? It was fine before you monkeyed with it. Put it back the way it was.
If you want your texts louder, try upping the 'alerts' volume.
On my 4100-nex my navigation volume was loud but when changing the volume there is an alerts button that I used to lower the volume. I have the newest android auto version installed
I have the same set up, lowered the alert volume down to 2 to get good navigation volume, but then if I get a message its too low for that. I used to keep it on 8 for everything, even when I was bumping music at 20 the alerts were good at 8.
I did notice that when music wasn't playing the navigation was louder than normal before this problem started, but now its always "that" loud, even with the music.
It really randomly started one day when I had navigation with no music and it seems to have just stayed at the louder volume. I guess for now I just need to remember to keep the alert volume down when I'm using navigation
I have a 09 Camry XLE. I was able to wire up the steering controls key 1 and key 2. However, I am only able to program 4 buttons. After that, it overwrites everything saved. I can only use volume up and down, and previous and skip. Is there a way I can use the other buttons for my phone and voice control?
Hey guys, I have already rebind my steering wheel buttons with the Hal9k rom and I'm using the voice command button for Google Assistant and the phone button for Mute, work great but every time I used that buttons the dash display still try to use the original command, there is any way to disable that? It is quite annoying every time I use those buttons after having to return to the screen in the display of the speed that is always the use., the car is a VW Jetta 2014.
Thanks!
Kinda hard to explain, but I'll try my best. Have AA with a Z Fold4 phone and Headunit Reloaded in my car. When I first connect, my volume is 0-100 and the volume knob works great. If a song is too loud, I just lower it from (let's say) 84 down to 71.
After driving for several minutes, if I decide to change the volume again, 0-100 is no longer there. Instead, it defaults back to my head unit's original 0-30 volume. The knob still changes the volume, but it doesn't matter if it's on 0 or 30, the volume stays the same. The only way (besides resetting my head unit) to get it back to 0-100 is to adjust the know when my GPS is talking (for example, "speed camera reported ahead). Then it goes back to 0-100 for several minutes, and I can lower or increase song volume again...until 0-30 comes back once more.
How to I completely eliminate the 0-30? I need to always keep the 0-100 volume, because when it's on that, it works.
Anyone?
It's not AA, it's Headunit Reloaded. When AA is connected, volume is controlled by the headunit.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But it switches back and forth. What is the solution to make it stay on 0-100, which works?
