NO WARRANTY IMPLIED. Some of the things I/we do to get things to work are super sketchy. Use extreme caution if you've messed with any of the car's file system or installed lots of mods. Please report bugs in the issue tracker. If you report a bug, I expect that you'll have SSH access to the system to debug things. Note, there's only so much progress that can be made without knowing the full android auto spec.

Install procedure

  1. Read the OP
  2. Read the OP again
  3. Skim the thread quick to see some common issues
  4. Copy (extract) zip file onto blank USB drive (FAT < 8GB)
  5. Start car
  6. After car has started, insert usb drive
  7. Wait until prompts pop up (can be up to 5 minutes)
  8. Follow prompts, and the install should be complete.

Usage

  1. Start Car
  2. Wait until infotainment system is fully booted (Android Auto menu option not gray)
  3. Plug phone in
  4. Select Android Auto option

If you want to be able to connect your phone at any stage, you should alway keep a usb drive with media in the car. It don't have to be playing, just connected. I didn't confirm this advice.

If audio doesn't work, unplug the phone and reboot the car (hold back + nav + mute)

Changes over v0.83

  • Backup cam is no longer broken
  • Media keys work and voice button works
  • Press favorite key to toggle between AA audio and radio audio
  • Press home key to quickly kill AA
  • Some startup issues fixed

Known issues

  • Credits only displayed on first opening of AA
  • Blank screen after exiting AA if backup cam was used
  • when returning from backup cam, first frame will be static/garbage. A new gui frame needs to originate from the phone before static disappears.
  • Phone bluetooth not functioning (disable bluetooth on car/phone)
  • Next and previous buttons will generate two keystrokes the first time pressed

TODO

  • fix phone
  • use track keys to switch radio stations when in radio mode
  • fix audio level issues (try skipping a song, then pause and press play again)
  • commander control
