Thanks a lot for making this video. Very clear instructions. Hats off. I tried this in my old Honor 9 lite, a 10 year old phone, so I have to customise a few things. I followed all the steps but somehow the wifi in my navigation phone(honor 9 lite) doesn't start automatically. Guess its the phone software. It would connect immediately when I open the Wifi options, so one more step for me to start the app. Next thing I saw in the green screen when android auto started. After few trial and errors, found that hardware acceleration withing the app setting had to be disabled, because my phone didn't support it. Android auto finally worked. I have to adjust the pixel density to 250 in order to get a optimised UI interaction within the App. Probably these steps can help someone who face the same problem as mine. Once again thanks a lot for your time and effort to make this video.

[@akshaypai1602]

You can try this solution. Follow the Bluetooth pairing steps as shown in video. However make a small change in wifi connection method. 1) create a hotspot on the secondary phone and connect your primary phone to that hotspot through wifi. 2) open the Wifi Launcher on primary phone and select the Bluetooth device as shown in video. However , under "Wifi Connection Mode", select the the option "Wifi client mode". 3)In the secondary phone, open HUR app, go to settings-> connectivity->Wifi connection mode. Here select "Create Wifi Hotspot". Follow with the process as shown in the video. What we are doing here is, rather than primary phone creating the hot spot and secondary phone being the client to it, we are reversing it. The process needs both phones to be connected , doesn't matter which creates the hot spot and which is the client. Let me know if this worked for you.,😇👍 if not let me know.

This setup will use data, and when I tried it the hotspot would shutdown to a predetermined amount of data not to exceed. Is there a way to not use data?

Yes it uses data just the way an actual android auto uses.. the thing is you dont need data on 2 phones, rather just one phone.. one way to reduce data is trying to use offline maps.. that way you can still use this set up and the maps will use offline data... but please note you may not get the live features

Good effort in explaining this functionality. Correct me if wrong. The host phone and client phone can be connected using wifi hotspot and you can use google maps directly on it. Also, any music app can be used by connecting to BT on the client phone. Why take all this hastle to install apps, fo settings etc.

[@akshaypai1602]

@@maverickriderJB Thanks for asking this question.. Yes it in deed does seem that its simpler that way but using android auto has its own perks, especially if you are a motorcyclist. Also the main audience I intended are for motorcycles who are planning to buy an android auto head unit like chigee or aoicee just for android auto.. a 5$ app is cheaper an 200$ device which cannot be removed from your motorcycle. 1) you can directly access most of the functionalities of your phone without having to take it off your pocket/bagpack. It will make sense when your primary phone is a big brick like the s23 ultra 😅 2) somehow, when in android auto mode, the power usage by hotspot is much lesser.. I seen a 30 % drop in battery for 6 hours compared to 70% drop in hot spot method. 3) the layout is suited to access only driving necessary apps faster. Which means much less distractions from other apps. Now one might argue saying I can throw in the DND mode, HOWEVER, it also silences out the calls or other important notifications. One may choose to use any method which they feel comfortable. I prefer using this as it let's me access navigation, music, calls , sms and any other simple functions without having to take the phone out of my bagpack. Hope this answers your question 😇

So in a car. Can the head unit send the audio to the standard car BT radio? So I use my phone to link the network and applications to the head unit. Which then plays all sound through the car stereo? Second question is which microphone is used for calls? And at last will it become annoying to every time starting up the head unit and unlock for security reasons?

[@akshaypai1602]

You can connnect any bluetooth audio to the head unit. If it is capable of taking calls and playing music, the head unit will forward the calls / music to it. Theroreticall, the bluetooth audio device mic and speakers should be used.I havent tried in a car , however in a motorcycle, i have used it with a senaa and it worked flawlessly. The security considerations of permissions is true for all apps and not just for this app. I do it because , if you do not rewoke, it never know what its reading off your screen since we have given it unrestricted battery and overlay permissions. So yes to give all permissions is something you will have to do before you ride off. Howe er u may choose to keep it on if you dont have sensitive data on phone and do not use it for monetary transactions etc. I have faith in the developer not being malicious and google vetting the apps properly.

Brother.. I just came back from a ride from Mahabaleshwar. The only problem that I found in this solution is that, we cannot use the navigation phone for calling purposes. We have to use the other phone as Bluetooth audio does not catch the audio from our main phone. This can be a very minor problem for some people. But as I am a police man, I get many calls from people and subordinates. Can you tell me a solution for this.?

Hi bro I'm really struggling to connect the device together I followed all the steps exactly you said but after starting the wifi service manually the other phone is not going in navigation mode please help 😢

[@akshaypai1602]

Thats weird.. can you please can try below steps and tell me if it works 😊?. 1) go to your head unit phone and forget all other wifi networks and can connect only to hotspot of your primary phone. 2) Close both the apps on noth phones. Force stop them if you can ,which is even better. 3) turn on the wifi hotspot on your primary phone and connect the head unit phone. 4) now open both the apps the apps on both phones (head unit first and then Wifi launcher) and ensure the bluetooth device selection is set to head unit phone and wifi connection modes are set as shown in video. 4) click on start wifi service manually. It should start. If it still doesn't work, dm me on insta @ i_am_axai and i can help you out there.

@@AnandRajamaniIyer absolutely true.. you get aux to bluetooth converters, which will help you play songs..😊👍

[@SanHydronoid]

I feel like a BT-FM transmitter is a better route so you can just use your primary phone and avoid the extra steps. The audio quality is not amazing, but I found a workaround since some phones support dual audio and can play through aux along with bt, if you want the best quality. You also get physical buttons to control tracks which was my biggest requirement. If you're buying it, i recommend portronics
