2023's Top 5 Android Car Launchers - Dashboard Apps for Car Head Units

Thank you! Fortunately, someone explained in the "Comments" section how to acquire various launchers...yes, I'm a newbie but I'll soon be up to speed with your help!

WOW, I had no idea you can change launchers from factory launcher. I really like vivd and I'll have to give it a go.

[@jeffreymom2516]

I've used Nova as my primary phone launcher for years. I never thought of using it on a head unit.

[@JackK-cl3jn]

Hello. I can’t find vivid launcher in the play store?

[@iritantNL]

What android head unit do you have. Mine is so slow to respond..

[@jongittus2279]

Worth mentioning that Agama (and possibly other launchers) have the ability to enable immersive mode and fill the entire screen. The status bar can then be brought back into view by swiping down from the top of the screen. Immersive Mode Manager can enable this same functionality system wide.

[@SaabUnleashed]

Good shout

[@jongittus2279]

@@SaabUnleashed Aye, handy for those with smaller screens and makes the headunit look that bit more 'factory'.

[@djsconsulting]

Hi - I am testing Agama and really like it EXCEPT I can't get "phone" to work ! What "app" do I have to associate to get my phone to open please ? Upto now, I have just used Apple CarPlay.

[@jongittus2279]

@@djsconsulting I can only speak from my experience with Xtrons headunits, but on both of mine the app for phone is called Bluetooth. There could well be a couple of these apps, one for streaming music from your phone and one for calls.

[@djsconsulting]

@@jongittus2279 thanks, I found it. The Bluetooth app was being hidden, I had to click the "eye" icon to review all apps when you're on the apps page. I like the launcher, better than the Joying one, my only slight gripe is that I can't get it to automatically pick up a wifi connection from my iPhone (in tethering mode). So everytime I get into the car I have to go into wifi settings and force it to connect to the remote hot spot being broadcast by my iPhone. One way around this is to use the SIM card option which is a cool feature of the Joying units but then I have the additional monthly cost of another SIM card !

[@m1ch4Lko]

Great video! I didn't realize that even if I bought a TEYES head unit, I could install a different "home screen" :D Many thanks!

[@tweetdriver]

You might mention that the center multi-widget in Agama also has a configurable automatic mode that makes it switch content based on what the car is doing. For example, you can set it so that it switches to your car logo when the car is stopped, then back to whatever you have it showing while moving--navigation maybe. It can also be set to show the album art for a specific amount of time whenever the song changes. Things like that. Pretty cool feature.

[@Canada_Immigration_Bible]

Luv the features.

[@captainLoknar]

Would like to see if Agama can be setup to have Spotify widgets on one side and maps on the other. Or is that a split screen option that android 12 already supports better than any launcher

[@yigitmert4232]

how can I activate the maps to appear on the main screen...let the navigation be active instead of the logo,yandex writes, but the map does not open, does anyone have any information?

[@mikehart4083]

I'm just about to install an Android head unit in my Golf. These launchers look so cool. I didn't realise you could do this. Thanks for the video.

[@louiskaye2093]

Car web guru does far more than the others. You can upload any image for a background and then use the constructor to make any location on the screen actionable. For instance, I installed a photo of the old ram/fm cassette/cd radio the head unit replaced and gave the knobs and features touch screen commands. Plus it has it's own music player and works great on split screen mode.

[@SaabUnleashed]

That's a very clever way of using it

[@gregriley1708]

Pretty ingenious 👍 I may try to do this with the 3is head unit image. I love the 3is radio/console looks.

[@tweetdriver]

I use it with the Dashboard DX premium theme, which I have made modifications to, including the image of my own car on the road. Here’s a link to a video I made kind of showing what it looks like and a lot of what it does. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ25YY2snM2rd9E

I am an Android Auto user and I've tried all of these launchers on my EKIY T900 with mixed results. They are all an upgrade on the supplied launchers (I upgraded my head unit to the latest software version to have the best launchers), however, Vivid was easily my favourite....right up until the audio stopped working while using the CarlinkV2 app for Android Auto... Took me a while to work out that Vivid was the culprit. Uninstalling Vivid rectified the problem. Reported the bug to the Vivid Devs, then installed it again a few months later....same problem. Tried again a few weeks ago (now over a year since the first attempt), still the same. Such a shame, it's a lovely launcher.

[@SleepyCities]

Hi, I am installing a EKIY T900 at the moment, how did you get the vivid launcher? Do you need the launcher to match your MCU version? Also I can't download or update apps via Google play, did you get this issue too? Many thanks 😊

My question is, with all the launcher reviews I see they all are on larger 10” screens. What launcher would you recommend for the 7” A6 ? Great work as always.

[@peteasp]

Thanks for the videos. Very helpful. I have decided to go for the TEYES CC3. Can you tell me if the one you fitted to the Jeep used the OEM rear camera. I have the 2011 - 2013 jeep grand Cherokee which also has the front car camera for the adaptive cruise control and collision warning feature. Is it possible to connect that camera to the CC3. Also does it come with the replacement frame or do I need to order that separately. And finally will my current car have a Canbus that will link to the CC3 or do I need one of them to. The car has steering wheel controls. Sorry about all the questions but an absolute novice on this stuff. Cheers Pete

Could I just install a launcher or can you only do that with an aftermarket head unit? Thanks so much for all your videos!

Do your steering wheel controls work? 4. If my phone is paired to the tablet, how are you getting audio from the tablet to the radio? Does your tablet offer dual pairing at the same time?

I see some of these launchers don't have clear and visible volume control buttons. Trying to reach for a small icon to change the volume while driving is clearly a hazardous situation. The primary application of these car launchers should be to assist the driver while driving and nothing else hence, it is crucially important to have large clear and visible volume buttons on the main page. I noticed volume buttons on Carwebguru interface. I also saw - and + signs on the Agama interface which I assume must be for the volume control. I didn't notice any in the other car launchers. I noted some Android head units have - and + buttons on the side for volume control but I have noticed some of them lack these side buttons. If the car doesn't have control buttons on the steering wheel which can be linked to volume control, this can become dangerous.

Hi and thank you for another excellent video. I chose Agama and so far it is really good. Still, reaching for the screen during driving can be challenging even with these attractive and practical launchers - how far have you gone with controlling android devices via steering wheel buttons? I have seen videos where you can jump from icon to icon and select them without touching the screen, so I'm guessing (and obviously still learning) that steering wheel buttons are to be used (not shown in those videos). I just bought a 2016. Vauxhall Insignia with installed android (SPRD Ums512_1h10_Natv, 4GB RAM) and using the steering wheel buttons I can only change volume, skip stations/songs start telephone and mute sound, but cannot use the arrow-pad/joystick with the "select" button to move among clickable fields and select on the screen. SWC app does not allow me to program anything differently from default settings. I do not know why but it seems locked. Enabling this (arrow-pad/joystick) would add so much value to the whole system for me. Any ideas, advices or at least, pointing me to the right direction? Thankful in advance and best regards! Keep up the excellent work!

Vivid Launcher works for me, although I can't seem to replace my default launcher. I can runaround it by setting it to launch at bootup so the process does seem a bit klunky - first enter the splash screen, then the default launcher, before Vivid launches. Thing is, I end up using Z Link for Android Auto anyhow so I'd rather start straight from Vivid, without passing through the default launcher.

Wow! These remind me of the Evox / Avalaunch GUI mods for XBOX Dash / EMUs etc. Def going to spiff up the $30 H/U I've installed in my '96 MAX... Should be fun.

Do you have a new set of recommendations now that vivid is no longer available outside of the US?

[@SaabUnleashed]

Vivid can be side loaded. But I will be updating this video later this year

Hi. I just installed an android 12 car player and I can’t find the factory settings, Android settings, car settings or system settings on unit. I’ve search through all the features…am I missing something? Do I need a special password to access these features? My reverse camera isn’t working. Can you help me?

Hi, saw this video some time ago, but have recently revisted it, i wanted to try the Vivid car Launcher, but Google play says not available for UK. Any other way of downloading it.

Hello, can you advise the make and model of the Android unit you are using in your Saab. I have a 2011 Saab 95 NG that has the CD/Sat Nav unit fitted but it is not performing fully so would like to change it out. Thank you in advance.

[@SaabUnleashed]

I've tested a lot of units in my 9-5 NG. The one I currently have is a huge top spec 13.3inch Idoing head unit, but the Teyes CC3 is also great. Obviously both of these units won't look factory and is you care about that, your options are limited to the NVNAV or Witson head units for the Vauxhall insignia. I did a video on that

[@derekgibson6191]

@@SaabUnleashed Thank you for the reply. I will look into the units you have mentioned and also view the the video that you have mentioned. Thank you for your recommendations.
