I have a Galaxy s7. And vehicle type new skoda fabia support android auto. My question , is there a version (No official) of android auto, that support full mirroring or wider variety of popular applications?
AFAIK no alternative AA versions exist, at least for now, and I am not very confident that there will be one in the (near) future.
Anyway, full phone screen mirroring should be supported not by Android Auto, but instead by the head units itself, at least it's so in some models I have seen on the Internet.

thank you for the answer. To the best of my knowledge, automakers install head units that support android auto, Mirrorlink and car play. These programs were produced for road safety, but they do not meet user requirements and therefore are not relevant.
Hi,
Is there a huge demand of an enhanced Android Auto application ? Unfortunately this kind of application would be probably banned from the Playstore.

Automate
This is a alternative
Android auto or Apple car play are stored on the device with the head unit itself essentially being the controller. In no way, are factory units supporting mirroring. Some have HDMI inputs or standard A/V inputs, but you'll need an addition part, such as nav tool or a hardware hack to support video in motion. I'm an automotive installation tech, this stuff I deal with regularly. Probably not the answer you're looking for, but it's the truth.

That is not actually a true alternative to Android Auto OS...
That is a completely different approach... Android Auto is not an app for Android standard...
Automate works on the Android standard OS and therefore requires an Android standard car stereo.
I think this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-auto-general/xposed-module-aa-t3357867 <- will go in the desired direction - whenever realized...
Is there any chance to see a port of CarPlay on Android Head Unit ?

No-ones done it yet. As far as I know, it's basically an extension of Airplay.
The problem being you need to either have an Apple Made for iPhone authentication chip in your device or you need to crack their authentication protocol.

CarPlay is a technology promoted by Apple to connect the automotive Head Unit displays to the Apple smartphones. CarPlay allows the Apple smartphone to project a screen to the Head Unit display over USB. The Head Unit can launch and control the applications exposed by the smartphone using touch and knobs / keys. Apple speech assistant software 'Siri' can also be invoked from the Head Unit steering wheel control. CarPlay also allows navigation application, along with voice prompts for directions, to be launched and controlled from the Head Unit. CarPlay is part of iOS versions 7.1 and above. The CarPlay SDK from AllGo provides a fully featured implementation which has been ported on multiple OSes and SOCs. AllGo also provides the associated iAP2 client, gadget driver framework, role switching and audio integration capabilities, thereby offering a one-stop solution to customers eager to go to production in the least amount of time.

I was on your website and it's very interresting, but not understanded what you said. Can we expect a port of CarPlay on our Head Unit ?
carplay android
They have know ported an app and a device to let apple CarPlay work on your android head unit
A search for "carplay usb dongle" shows several sellers.
This is the apk that control Carplay dongle...
...if someone can extract the app and study it.
For me the dongle is useless.... It is just one thing to make money!

I got a hold of one of these units. Here's how it works in some detail.
EDIT: added a video with a little teardown
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone know of a project/app that work with the Android Auto Headunit instead of the Android Auto App.
I noticed there are several implmentations for making a device a head unit but didn't find any app that simply skip the Android Auto App and directly used the existing Headunit screen.
Considering we the protocol was reverse enginereed to write headunit app (client) does anyone know of a "server" (Auto App) implmentation ?
I would like to understand this also. for example android auto is great for spotify etc but I would rather just be able to use the car DAB rather than my data to stream radio content.
At present I have to come out of android auto and into car headunit applications to do this then back to use AA navigation.
Is this app the sort of thing you mean? Car Dashdroid: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nezdroid.cardashdroid&hl=en
Yes but that only changes the appearance on the phone not on the andoid factory fitted head unit
Or am i wrong
At the moment, I have an Android 8.0-based Chinese head unit but the quality is poor.
I was considering buying an Android Auto system from Sony or Pioneer.
I use the TuneIn application from the Play Store a lot on my current head unit.
Is it possible to get said application for Android Auto, as it's an Android application, or do they need to have a dedicated Android Auto application?

Have you tried running HUR on the head unit https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...ndroid-4-1-headunit-reloaded-android-t3432348 ?

Unfortunately, it's the build quality that's poor. The speaker outputs slowly died one-by-one and the included software/hardware combination never allowed a solid 4G connection via. 4G dongle.
Does Android Auto have a seperate application store
Unfortunately, the app is not yet available everywhere around the world. If you live in a region where Android Auto has not become available, you can use VPN to change your Google Play Store region. This will allow you to download and install geo-restricted applications on your Smartphone.
TuneIn Radio is compatible with Android Auto. There's no separate app. If you install and run AA on your phone, you can test it out.
The Play Store has a dedicated section for Android Auto-compatible apps that can be accessed from the pullout menu in the Android Auto app on your phone.
Hello,
I would like to buy Double din Head Unit with Android Auto support for my 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder. The head unit should be able to display a few apps like 'Podcast Addict', 'Pandora', YouTube , my music player etc. and gps maps. I am kind of confused about when a particular app will appear on a head unit with Android Auto support. Like there are some apps like 'Podcast addict' that I would like to use regularly on my head unit. I was wondering will all apps on my phone appear on the head unit or only some with special support for Android Auto. There are also headunits without Android auto support like this one and I was wondering what are the implications of buying one of these since while it has everything I need will other apps not appear because it doesn't have android auto support?

Only a few app will show on android auto.
You need a head unit supporting android. Not android auto.
Podcast Addict works fine with Android Auto (it runs on phone, but is controlled from head unit) units. Most music/audio players I have tried also do, but YouTube will not support video. As noted above, if you want the apps to run directly on the head unit, you want an android HU, not an android auto one.
