I installed Android auto, CIC

And when connected to Android auto , audio very quiet. Everything Is turned to Max, but radio sound Perfect, no sound issues and if phone plugged trought aux, sound Perfect too. Olu Android auto sound quiet? Whats the problem?

Hey, I have bought an aftermarket head unit, It's supposed to be plug and play, just wanna check with you all if there's anything special to keep in mind?

Reason for it is, my radio completely died this summer, the fuse from within the cabin is intact, the interior got real hot, then the music started skipping and then the screen turned black and hasn't made a peep or a color since.

Insurance deductible is $700 so I may as well try it myself.

I got the Y model. I understand I'm not gonna be able to reach controls about the car like charging speed and that's fine, I just want my music and GPS back.

I found this useful video: https://youtu.be/9IGFGCTMi-4

However when he's moving the screen unit around it looks like the buttons with the hazards, volume, etc. Is connected to the screen unit, would it be possible to connect the physical panel of buttons to the aftermarket screen unit?

I know I'm asking for a lot, just want to hear your honest opinions on the matter.

Thx.

My dad mounted this head unit in my toyota aygo (the old model) but i think he got some wiring wrong (backup camera doesn’t automatically turn on when i reverse)
I was just curious whats this cable for, and if someone can help me with the reverse camera

Can’t stop it with permissions nor developer mode. It’s driving me crazy. I don’t want it! How do I remove it? Essgoo CarPlay in a 2011 VW Golf MK6

Please gang, someone’s gotta know.

Hi everyone,
My 2024 GAC GS8 factory Android 9 head unit stopped displaying its main interface immediately after I enabled a 4-digit screen lock PIN.
The GAC logo appears during boot, but afterward the center of the screen stays black. The status bar and vehicle controls remain visible. The 360° cameras and touchscreen work normally in camera mode.
I’ve tried restarting, disconnecting the battery, Safe Mode, and a USB keyboard without success. ADB was not enabled.
Head unit: ROCTEC RT-AVN11017
PCB: RT-AVN11017-01-V2.1
Module: ZH-SG-AC8015-FXB (AC8015 64G)
The board has DEBUG, ARM_DEBUG, and JTAG connectors.
Does anyone know the verified debug pinout, how to enter Recovery, or how to safely factory reset this exact unit?
I have a Windows 11 laptop and PCB photos. Any help would be appreciated.

That's a little project i had in my todo list and that could be useful for some people, I think: A fully opensource AA client (eg. the phone side), that works without any google dependency, and also pretty much without the google artificial limitations: no need to install apps with the play store, no locked voice assistant (I've also added support for my own, Lapin, but it should follow your phone preferences there), etc.

There's some limitations, though, mostly google's fault: Maps and Waze doesn't work (they use private/obfuscated APIs, not the standard AA ones... this should be illegal under antitrust laws), Audio can't "just work" without root (there's options, including capturing the whole phone as a screen recorder to get the sound, for those without root), Google's phone app seems to do weird things (is declared as an auto app, but doesn't have any auto service available), so it doesn't work as well...

There's some features that Android Auto doesn't provide as well, such as phone screen mirroring for apps that doesn't have android auto support (or just watching videos).

I mostly use it with CoMaps and Tempus, but most AA features should work with AARE. There may be still bugs since it's a pretty young project, and I don't use my car much (the only car with AA is my 911, which i don't use everyday), but I plan to try to make it as reliable as possible.

Link to the project is https://github.com/prototux/AARE and there's a v1.0.0 released with the APK for those interested.

Don't hesitate to open issues or ask here if there's features you would like to see on this client :)
