It took a few hours of installing, reinstalling, and trying to find the magic sequence, but I got it. I like it, seems to do what I want. Problem is that it doesn't recognize any of the custom PIDS that do display just fine within the torque app. That's the last step to making this work just right.

I'm running the beta, if that matters.

I'm having a bit of an issue with setting the default app when connecting with a usb to android auto, which should be to "OBD2AA". I select "OBD2AA" and "Always" but it keeps resetting on its own every few days, and I have to pick them again. Any ideas what's going on or how to fix it? Thanks!

Head unit: HTX 820 with "HuR"

Works perfect. It is possible to force autostart OBD2AA when click to "gauge icon" on Hur? Now i need to pick OBD2AA or "Return to Google"

Hello from France ;)

Thanks for your app, installed and connected to my new Fiesta ST and it works. :good:

Now I try to create my perso gauge and it is more difficult. size 480x480 in png, but the new gauge and the indication not seem compatible.

Difficult to read 275 pages but Do you have a specific topics on this subject?

Where are stored the original gauge? Is it possible to modify it ?

Thanks.

This was such a good idea, but I wonder if further development had been abandoned?

There are a few rough edges that I think could be easily fixed.

It works on my Cadillac XT5. However, it won't work at all if you have "unauthorized apps" installed. One of the unauthorized apps is the My Cadillac app. I paid a heap of money to be able to remotely control my car, but I can't use obd2 and the My Cadillac app simultaneously. That leaves an ugly choice... Be able to start the car over the internet so it'll cool down, or use OBD2. Unfortunately, with South Georgia heat, the My Cadillac app wins every time.

This app has an extreme amount of potential. I wish I knew how to code, as I would definitely remove the My Cadillac app from the list of restricted apps.

Also would be nice to be able to use additional Torque functionality (like check engine codes).

As it is, all you get is the ability to add a few really small gauges. No additional screens to swipe to. Very limited functionality.

Thanks a ton for your hard work Developer!

OBD2AA Crashing

Pixel 3a and 2017 VW GTI, latest stable version of OBD2AA

AA loads up fine but when i go to select OBD2AA from the far right menu option AA just crashes and closes. AA seems to function fine for other apps (spotify, waze, etc) up until I try and open OBD2AA.

I emailed you a bug report.

You can't. Obd2aa blocks all third party apps.

[MENTION=224120]Emil[/MENTION] has been trying for a couple years to get his apps approved by Google and if he allows third party apps it possibly could get band by Google on a blacklist.

He doesn't want to take a chance of that and let down all the users that don't care about not using aamirror.

Loving this so far! Is there a way to add a "data log" button to the menu where the gauges display? That would be awesome.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dr.ehab.atif@gmail.com:
important

can we use this methods to obtain gaugues directly from the car without the obd gadget device .. becouse there is a way for that for sure i ve seen it online . i mean to add a AA plugin that gathers the information from the car computer and displays it without any gadgets or scanners used?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
On top of that, aamirror won't work without root and if you have root there are other ways to activate 3rd party apps and in that case this limit won't apply.

Unable to enable AA Dev mode

I reset my phone tonight to see if it would help with obd2aa crashing when trying to access via the radio. After the reset I was having trouble getting dev mode enabled in AA. It's like the taps on "About Android Auto" aren't registering. So i uninstalled AA and reinstalled it. I was able to enable dev mode. I got odb2aa setup and tested and everything was working great. So i started setting my phone back up, installing apps etc. I start working on getting my tasker set back up, so i can automate starting and stopping the HU server. I notice the 3 dots in AA are missing. So I try to re-enable dev mode and the taps aren't registering again. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling AA again, no luck.

Anyone have any ideas?

Edit: Found it. Dev mode appears to now be enabled by going into Settings and tapping Version and permission info. The 3 dots also no longer show up on the About Android Auto screen, only on the settings screen, which is where you will find the HU start/stop.

Problem today with google assistant update. It appears as restricted app in obd2aa and so impossible to use in the car.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Buggers, give me a few days and I'll get it updated. I've had an SSD failure 3 weeks ago and lost all my data, to my own stupidity, I did not had the very latest changes for obd2aa saved so I will need to redo them :(

I'll make sure you have an update to address the issue in a weeks time, till then try to downgrade assistant if you can, or use the playstore approach to get obd2aa running.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] horrorshow21:
Hmm. I searched forever and could not find anything on the internet. I just made a lucky guess and tapped the version and permission info.

I thought I was breaking some big news. Lol.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Probably not on the fix version, I'm planning a full overhaul of the app this autumn/winter, which should:

1) Ensure app scales correctly on new wide-screen mode as well.

2) Add multiple screen (swipe left right)

3) Redesign the gauges and layout

Potentially other changes as well based on request.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] horrorshow21:
There are probably 20 better ways to do this. But i'm new to tasker so i'm still learning. You will need the autoinput plugin. You may also have to edit steps 3 and 17 as they use coordinates. The coordinates may be different if your phone is bigger/smaller, different res, etc. Also because of autoinput the phone needs to be unlocked when they run.

Tasks are triggered by a profile based on being connected to my car's BT.

note: To find coordinates go to Settings > Developer Options > Pointer Location > Toggle on, navigate to screen and touch the spot you need to know the coordinates of. Coords will be at the top of the screen.

Sounds like there have been some updates to AA. I have been on Android Q Beta 4 since early June with OBD2AA generally working. There have been some pixelated or frozen video output, but also when connected straight to AA.

Over the weekend, there must have been a Google related update because OBD2AA is now outputting a different resolution (attached) and the buttons are non-responsive. Back direct to AA and thus clears up. Not complaining at all, just reporting what I'm seeing if it can be of help.

Funny timing because I've been having trouble with my Scantool MX+ and just received the replacement...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
- I can confirm custom PID's are not returning any values and I would really need some input from Torque developer here on why is that, they do work correctly in Torque though.

- I will consider adding the service auto start as an option.

- Also noticed that low fuel warning always shows KM.

I just got home from a very long weekend and still a ton of things I need to finish relating weekend work, but I will be dedicating time to this on the second half of the week. Hopefully I will get some answer from Torque developer as well.

Just finished a 1500km drive with HUR and AA. With the latest AA ver. 1.3B seems to have some issues. HUR will refuse to connect - screen goes blank but then returns to HUR with either CONNECTION TO AA TERMINATED or COULD NOT CONNECT TO HEAD UNIT SERVER. The only remedy was to uninstall both OBD2AA and AA and reinstall AA. Anything else - only uninstalling OBD2AA, clearing cache and data, resets - no success. Didn't have time to check various options like with/without OBD adapter connected. Will have more time to test next week.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Are you using HUR app or headunit?

If it's HUR app is it in SelfMode or is it running on a separate device?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spiff72:
I have seen a few complaints about not working well with the latest​ version of AA. Which version is it? I see an update available 2.6-something, and I am currently at 2.5-something. Trying to figure out if I should wait on that update.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Emil, do you think you can add a setting for the amount of decimals? Showing battery voltage is hard to look at with two digits behind the separator. So that we can choose only one digit or two if we want?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
It was with AA 2.6 but version 1.3b addressed that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I'll add it to the list

Turbo boost pressure continues to show values only in psi, even though the settings in Torque are in bar.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] m00n61:
I am using HUR on a Lenovo Yoga 3 running Android 6 connected via WiFI to a Samsung S8+

It only started to misbehave after the latest AA update. And not immediately, it worked for some time.

Strange thing is that after it started refusing to connect the only way to make it work again was to uninstall and reinstall AA. Only uninstalling OBD2AA was not enough,

Didn't really bother with it as I read in one of your previous posts that ver 1.3 s not playing nicely with the latest AA. Or the other way around :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I don't think that is OBD2AA related, next time when that happens try to force stop the following 2 apps on your phone:

1) Google Play Services

2) Android Auto

And then try to connect again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] m00n61:
It could be Google Play Services believing it's connected and refusing the actual connection. Will try.

Unfortunately I have to disable blitzer.de because with it enabled, I cannot take a call. It works for a few minutes, then gives static noises and after ending the call, my device don't know the Bluetooth connection and everything is weird since then.

I really have to investigate, if its blitzer.de or OBD2AA or torque related.

If there's no call, there will be no problem.

After some thoughts I know that I have had this behavior a few months ahead, so I disabled my OBD adapter in my car and everything was fine. So I think I will try this first.

Emil, is it okay for you to implement another switch which enables/disable the autostart of torque?

I don't want to lose the Blitzer.de feature you offer, but can live (hardly) without torque in the background when I can talk to my girlfriend while driving ? without problems.

Or isn't it possible to use the blitzer.de notifications without torque?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thedubbledee:
I just bought the app, installed, and went for a test run. It's nice having the gauges on the head unit, but the gauges are pretty laggy. It refreshes the value maybe every quarter second. For monitoring temperatures, it's no problem. However, boost pressure changes too fast to show the true value on the laggy gauge. Is there any way to increase the refresh frequency?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Try using the "alternative pulling" in version 1.3b and reduce the number of gauges you display, the more gauges you display the slower the polling. It also depends on the adapter speed, the app is set to do 10 pollings per second, but if responses are slow, this will of course decrease....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I'm going to move some of the options in a separate settings screen, since there are starting to be to many things on one screen, the problem is I haven't had time to die in the last week, not to mention work.... I think since Saturday till today my accumulated work hours are around 70-80....

I will consider this as well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Emil, don't stress yourself. I've disabled my OBD adapter for now, so it's working without torque.

If you want to know my thoughts:

I for myself think that it's better to make a cut and to decide which feature belongs to which app.

You've now three main roads

AA night helper

Torque enabler

Notifications for camsam/blitzer.de

Possible that it's time to put all together and make switches which service the user want or to make three different apps out of this.

This is my personal opinion, you don't need to agree because I'm really happy to see a developer who makes things possible which are very useful for me.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I was actually thinking of something similar especially that I do have some other plans in my head as well, some or long shot, some are not so long shots:

- GasBussy similar type for fuel prices in AA

- Taxi app for AA (one common interface for Lyft, Uber, any other taxi company) - but this will depend if I can get the big boys to play ball :)

- Video player (maybe) but only working if the car is PARKED. This was requested by some, who says they only have the car fitted unit, and they cannot access Plax/netflix/etc content when on the road, and it will be a nice touch if they can watch something when they park/stop (long whole drivers)

- Other small apps

Also I did a bit of research and I might be able to overcome the Google Play Limitation as well, however that is a bit of a gray area. I can make a free app which is only the installer app, and you can do in-app purchase of modules, once a module is purchase it can be download (download can sit outside play store!) module is the actual AA compatible app, but when installed should check if the "installer" is installed on the phone and if the purchase give module is purchased and only run in that way, so that can be consolidated all in one, but that is a relatively meaty piece of work.

Hi Emil,

this is a very interesting new project. Looks nice! We had a conversation a couple of months ago due to an issue where my oneplus3t doesn't work stable in AA on oxygen os.

One question so far: I'm not using OBD2 and torque but camsam plus aka blitzer de plus and I'm intereseted in the notification you showed in the video.

Is it possible to use only the notification in the "normal" AA environment without having tourque installed or if it needs the torque app is it possible to receive the notifications e.g. while in google maps screen of the AA headunit?

Best Regards,

Marco
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi.

Notifications will work on any screen, maps as well. And if you do not have torque installed, the app won't be able to show you the gauges, but notification will be still be shown.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Hacktacular:
Understood. It would be nice to have data logging.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Guys, ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR STUFF!

Ok I've got it now to stage where I'm able to build the app again and I think I'm back where it was. I still need to do some adjustments but hopefully by Monday or Tuesday you'll have the updated. Sorry I was supposed to be free this weekend, but it turns out I'm going to work more then 24 hours this weekend, so no time to develop :(

On a totally separate note, is anyone here with a wireless AA unit? If yes please let me know I'm trying to do some research in those units but they are not available for purchase in EU/UK at the moment, and importing from USA it's quite a hassle. I'll like to see some data, I think there is very simple way to make any non-Google phone work with those Wifi units, also that will be required for future works on obd2aa to make it compatible with Wireless connection.

Thanks.

All good man. A phone reset took care of it.

I originally did a phone to phone over cable restore when I got the new phone. Apparently the pixel 3a did not like that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dr. Claw:
Has this app changed behavior with the latest revision to AA?

Now when it launches, AA behaves as if OBD2AA is running transparently. No icon of the "hacker" and the car is no longer seen as a "Google". Yet, 6 tap limit is still removed and navigation search in motion is still running.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I guess you are using the beta, beta doesn't give any warning if 3rd party apps are found on the phone, it simply disables them, but it does keep the other hacks (like 6 tap limit remover), however you should still see the "hacker" icon.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Hodgo1981:
Hi,

I have been trying to get this running on my Sony xperia xa1 over there last few days. It's very hard to follow the instructions.

After extra searching I managed to get AA to run in developer mode, and set the head unit server running.

Then I closed everything and plugged my phone into the USB of my headunit (jvc kw-m740bt) I chose obd2aa and always. Then an icon popped up saying "Android auto hacker" running...

My phone keeps prompting me to connect to USB as charger, midi or to transfer files.

And my headunit says "connected device not compatible."

What is going wrong?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] revans79:
Im the same. Cant get it to work with samsung s10
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dr. Claw:
Use the "transfer files" option.

Here is what I do.

1) Ensure head unit is set up to run Android Auto.

2) On phone, open Android Auto, enable developer options (before latest version, this is accessed from "About" where you repeatedly tap the "About Android Auto" header; current version you tap the version number in Settings repeatedly)

3) With AA developer options enabled, choose "Start head unit server" from overflow menu on Settings/About

4) Download/install OBD2AA.

5) Open OBD2AA, set desired settings

6) Connect to AA via head unit

7) When popup appears to choose default app, use OBD2AA.

I apologise in advance for not reading all 279 pages.
