The new ability to move with buttons is probably fantastic for those that can use it, but would it be possible to disable it via configuration option?

On my car the headunit seems to fire both "next" and "right" events at the same time no matter what of the two buttons I press, so whenever I change the track the highlighting on the screen moves. Not a huge problem, but it can be distracting.

I am having a weird issue, Android auto through usb runs fine but when ever I press the car horn the headunit reloaded app restarts and the Android auto reconnects every time.

It could be that you have bad wiring. Once you activate the horn, it can happen that USB lose power and it breaks the connection with the head unit.

Check your grounding also.

Using this app I've faced a problem:
Every time I connect my phone to the headunit the dialogue window pops up asking me about setting this app as something default. I know it's more headunit problem, but if some users have fixed it, I'd be grateful for any help.

For some reason my head unit are not able to recognize my redmi note 8 pro phone when connected via USB. Have enabled the USB debugging in developer option on the hu and my phone and yet still can't get it to recognize...

Tried the trial with WiFi and I'm able to get it connected but it shows a black screen. I know the FAQ stated to "look for a setting on your device which allows Video Playback during drive" but I can't seem to find this option anywhere in the HU setting..

Hi,
I'm using the app on and android snapdragon 625 headunit. If I turn the ignition off then back on again within around 10 minutes the app connects again but I get blank space where the icons and clock usually are. Is there a fix for this? Please see image below.

I'm facing a similar problem: In resolutions over 800x480 where the extended layout is shown, there is no home button (white circle), so I cannot select any other app.

I’m also facing the issue when sometimes HUR screen is enlarged and is going above screen layout of the device.

When I close the app and connect again, it works normally.

Happened to me few times.

I'm just getting started with HUR. My main problem is when I connect my phone it starts HUR and programs function as they should, but it doesn't load the AA interface. Instead it's just a scroll "app drawer" style. I have it on an ATOTO A6, connected via USB (although it's the same with WiFi and well).

Which cable?

I need a cable that can charge my Amazon fire tablet (headunit) and also my phone (type C connection) but also keep both devices connected to each other so that I don't have to use my hotspot and start headunit server?

Labs is shut down... Any chance of posting the apps somewhere Else? I need that wifi app, and am unsure if the app on Google Play is the latest? Beta?

Hi all. I am using non-rooted phone. Is there any way to start head unit server by using tasker or else ? I used below action by sending intent but no luck.

The only way to do it that I've ever seen is using autoinput to open Android auto and do the sequence of screen taps to do it

So ever since the new 6.0 beta 5 update, I am finally able to use the 720p/1080p modes without crashing, Yay!

Unfortunately, every time I turn on my reverse camera or parking sensor the app crashes :(

I'm using an S160 android 4.4 head unit and a galaxy s10.
