Hello,
I don't know if it's the right place to open this thread but whatever.
A lots of cars are communicating with Head Units through the CANbus. Some Android Head Unit use this to receive SWC or Parking Sensor, but it's only a small part of infos we communicate with the car. Differents manufacturers use CANbus from HU to replicate infos on Speedometer/Secondary Display. It can be the song played or GPS direction to take and they are mostly lost when buying Android HU. It would be really nice to have an application to handle this within Android : replicate the song of Spotify or get the GPS direction from Waze.
Here is a pic as example, or another
Theses codes can be found for multiples cars : VW as example.
It would be very useful to create a way to send this infos like originals devices to get full functions of our cars. Finally we could do much more than just reuse what the car can already do: imagine displaying custom notification (Radar, SMS, ...) directly in front of you, or even ask Google Assistant to open the Roof...
