Good to know. For my case, I prefered to buy an old 2nd hand with sim card phone/tablet for navigation and music in my car

[@akshaypai1602]

Yes thats a fully feasible option.. however by using this mentod, you can avoid cost of additional sim, maintain another data package at extra cost. The main focus is to get the primary phone reflected on your android auto.. that means when u get calls , you dont need to pick the phone out of your pocket all the time..same goes for music .. 😊

Let me try this one and get back to you👍

@SouvikSays the way it works in this setup is , you need to connect your headset/bluetooth speakers to the main phone.. and then when you recieve a call or play music, it will route it through the main phone to your audio device.. however you will be able to diale and revieve on the HUD phone ... hope this helps

hi very good video i am from Argentine and i was finding a lot videos but yours is the best you go straight to the point. I tried to conect by wierlees my devices but was unsuccessfully perhaps you can help me. My main device is Motorola g60S android version 12 and the second for my motorcicle is samsung J7 2016 android version 8.1.0 , I loaded Headunit full version i followed the step but Motorola dont have hotspot it share diferently. please can you help me?

[@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.

[@henriwolbrink]

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. But in an era of ever rising cyber incidents, its a hassle i can live with 😇

My car player is aftermarket n it doesn't have android auto support but HUR helped me to get that facility. Moreover, the problem I was facing was just because of higher display pixel quality, reducing it has brought down the screen size n I got the chance to select the options. Initially I set to 350 and I could not see all the options but later I reduced it 150 n could see all the options during initial set up.

@@kvmods please try adjusting the DPI settings in graphics.. another user had same issue and reducing DPI worked for him.

[@kvmods]

Im playing around with the dpi settings but it does not change. Example. In Google maps the buttons in screen I can touch them and I see that they turn grey when I touch them but it does not do anything. DPI is set tot 199 now

Phone display will be gone in few days if left under sunlight

So the reason we use this method is so that we can unmount phones when not in use, just the way we unmount our regular phones when riding. Unlike aftermarket Android auto units, that are fixed to one motorcycle and cannot be removed, this one can be removed and used on multiple motorcycles.lastly, as I mentioned in video, use it on a dispensable secondary phone.I have a J7 which has mic issue and sim card issues. I use HUR on it, so it's ok if that phone stops working, coz it's not worth more than 1500 bucks in market.,😊

Just root your phone. No need to do this

[@akshaypai1602]

So the things is rooting is compromising total security of your device! Plus voiding any warranty you have left .. additionally rooting just grants a super user access to android.. to make android auto work, you will still need to work with 3rd prart mods like magisk, etc, which are not certified and has superemely high chance of cyber attacks.. The very reason why I emphasized the permission management.

@@akshaypai1602 you are using old device, no problem of safety as I use many banking apps, no mod require in magisk to use android auto.

[@akshaypai1602]

I work in cybersecurity domain in Payments Industry as a daily job and ive spent significant times studing ios and android privilegde escalation vulnerabilities... I can confidently say that rooted devices are the most easiest to compromise.. magisk or not, you dont have any reason to root the device u less you are a hardcore developer who needs a physical phone.. Even though its an old phone which isnt rooted or unlocked, i still will not use any banking phone just because it runs out of date andoid os... nonetheless , if you feel its safe to bank on your rooted device and just rooting will enable the android auto service (new android auto apks definitly wont) , please feel free to do so.. lets agree to disgree on our views .. peace ✌️

@@akshaypai1602 i agree with you risk involved but it's all about gain over risk. I have enough security on my phone even if got hacked I will face least damage. The only reason I am using android is because of root. The seamless integration with so many things is hard to ditch

[@narasimham4648]

when you can use old phone for navigation with google maps and hear songs on why buy this app .waste of money,just connect wifi and blutooth
