Android AUTO mirroring

[Jirkus]

Hi, I want to ask, is it somehow possible or @admin are you planning in the future to make the app work through Android Auto and mirror to the in-car display?

@admin?

@Jirkus, Hopefully admin will find a way to port the app to Android Auto. Other apps already do that.

I've re-opened the Android auto activity due to the new app categories allowed by google.
Now I should be able to make the app compatible with android auto, but it's not possibile to replicate the same user interface, unfortunately only text fields can be shown, so I'm wondering if a such kind of android auto app make sense.

Good morning admin, in my opinion seeing the main parameters (start of cleaning, Km traveled etc..) would still be useful. This would help not to look at the smartphone while driving as it is prohibited by law.

Hey,

it would be perfect to have Android AUTO supported version. Would it be technically possible to send a sound/visual notification when user-configurable level of DPF calculated soot is reached (eg. 20g)? I'm seeking for a solution which will warn me just before the regeneration procedure start.

[admin]

I'm collecting various feedback about the usefulness of a text only android auto app, then I'll decide.

The options you ask is already present, the "Custom sound notification" in the options menu.

Thank you for the reply! In my opinion the information presented in similar form to these in VAG DPF Apple CarPlay app would be highly appreciated. The way how it looks can be seen e.g. here:

Thanks for the advise, anyway this is more or less the same layout I see for all the iOT apps currently available for android auto.
That app is incredibly similar to mine

Last weekend I built a working draft interface in the developer AA HUD, now I need time to fill it with DPF parameters and make everything stable.
I think that a so simple interface can be implemented pretty fast, but it's a new world for me.

Yeah, I guess the author borrowed the layout from your app giving it more fancy Apple look :/

Really nice, can't wait to see it working on my car! If you need any help with apk testing feel free to contact me (I can test it on my VW T6.1 2.0 TDI with DNAA engine and Discovery Media MIB3 infotainment).
