Hi, I'm wondering if this fixes the issue that Waze will reset (losing all account information) if you don't shut down the app before turning off the car's engine.

Hi all,
How feasible would be to use a generic USB dongle with Carplay for Android?
They operate through a USB connection and an Android app. What i haven't manage to find is a dongle with an app for a previous version of android than 4.0.
Am i beeing naive thinking that the app itself is the bigest chalenge, or is there a impossibility through the USB connection?
Thank you all for all the work putted in to this old platform.

For this, you need to close it using intent. You can do it with tasker or other app. Just send intent when Android is going to shutdown.
Code:
In Tasker:
Send intent:
Action: Eliran_Close_Intent
Cat: Default

App is the biggest challenge. Technically you don't need a dongle. There is open source project, which can convert SCT to Android Auto unit without any extra hardware.

The biggest question is how to port it to old Android version we have.
Thanks, so for the context should I use Event-->System-->Device Shutdown?
Thanks. I assume Tasker will always launch in the background and be active when the system boots up?

Does anybody know how I can enter recovery mode? My SCT displays Volvo logo and don't skip this step. If I wait enough time it resets again and again. Before this situation I suddenly stops my engine during factory reset process. After that it don't open again. Volvo service offers me replace all unit. I know this problem solved with new firmware installation. I tried rubbing solution for enter recovery mode but it did not work. Can anybody help me?

Thank you for the updated Waze. Unluckily when Waze starts my SCT goes to vertical mode.
Can you help me to resolve this issue?
You can lock unit in landscape mode using rotation lock.

Thanks, that worked fine.
Keep up the good work with our antique SCT! It still can give us many pleasures it would be a shame to throw it away.
I've created a simple replacement for default ACU launcher.
Weather data is obtained from OpenWeatherAPI using current coordinates.
Weather gets updated every 10 minutes (or every 5 km).
Main idea is to control unit from steering wheel.
If you scroll joystick up - you will see list of currently running applications.
If you scroll it down - you will see list of all installed applications.
When you switch tracks - toast message with track name appears
Photo of results is attached. Sources can be found here:

Latest version can be found here:

It might be old, but it is still working fine. At specially after some tweaks. Actually I do have an idea of porting AndroidAuto to it.
Hello all,
owner here of a sensus connected touch unpatched on a Volvo fully workable. I am thinking to proceed with patching it. Does is still worth doing it? Will i be able to tweak it to a better and workable set of application like whether etc? What do you think now that we are in 2020? Shall i do it? What to do after initial run of patching? Will the controls of wheel still be functioning?

Waze 3.8.1.0 - search mechanism stopped working. Is it just me? Is Google dropping some APIs?
You seem to be an expert on Sensus Connected Touch.
Could you help me tweak mine with your expert knowledge?
I will patch it the next days and i would like to have a working weather.
Just patched (rooted) my SCT, the steps in the first post on how to root worked fine for me.
The weather is working after installing the bcu.apk that incogn1to has supplied, in my V60 the lettertype seems to be a bit bolder than the original ACU but its fine by me.
This weekend I'll try the Waze app. the google maps seems to be working as well but its quite old... compared to the recent versions on the phones.
I'm really hoping the port for android auto is possible that would make this system just great!
Are there any updates on that side incogn1to?
Waze search not working for me either - but but all else including routing still works.
Same for me, search does not work anymore routing works with the favorites that remained.
