Hi, Today I solved the problem I mentioned above!

Simple solution (😆😆😆): OBD2AA / Settings - tick "Only use phones GPS".

Have a nice day

Hello,

What are different between 3.6a and 3.6b version ?

I have Xiaomi Mi 9 . What version should I using ?

I need to install in my Android auto player with Torque pro
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jerflash:
So I paid via pay pal and was directed to a page that had links for 3.6a and 3.6b. pressing those links gave me an invalid link error. After that I was not able to get that page to load again... I put in my email address to get another link emailed to me. Hoping that works.

Want to use this to watch my trans temps while towing

Edit*

Ok I got the link though email. That was a bit weird though. Planing on playing with this this weekend.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MoonShadow24:
So I got all the requirements:

I have a Kenwood Excelon 706s AA

Torque Pro (paid version)

OBD2AA i used your link to the A not B

I have the OBD2 reader that is compatible with both android and torque pro

And lastly my phone is a Galaxy S 20+

I am in developer mode in the android auto app too.

When I try to use everything and connect it gives me the unsupported device and such.

What is going on? What am I doing wrong? I'll play with it later cus im at work atm but any help is much appreciated and thank you kindly. Im also new to this so im not familiar with it all but I'm sure I did everything right but im lost.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] criley:
Will my Android auto enabled factory display be compatible with this?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wwersslkd:
Would someone be able to help me. I purchased this app. installed 3.6a (b wouldn't let me accept permissions). My android auto connects wirelessly. I have the obdaa app in my app list. When I plugged in my usb cable to my radio, I selected to use obd2aa always. The notifications show that obd2aa is running and shows my current location, but AA on my radio doesn't have obd2aa as one of the apps. I even tried running the "head unit server" with no luck. Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slicetwo:
What kind of battery drain are we seeing if we keep the head unit server running all the time? I had given the app a spin before and it was kind of funky, but I'd like to try it again now that I'm reading more about it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wwersslkd:
good luck. there doesn't seem to be any support. I even emailed the developer without any luck
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Getnlwr:
I used this app for the last year plus and love it. Had to get the phone reset and trying to get the app downloaded onto my Note8 it is giving me a parsing error when I try to install the apk Both the A and B version. Anyone have any advice?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jmgil:
What version do you have installed?

Thank you,
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Threethreethree:
I bought the app but when it's installed the head unit just gets stuck on loading phone. If I uninstall the app AA starts working again. Anyone run into the same issue and figure out a solution?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Gizmokid2005:
Make sure you're looking for a popup for, or set OBD2AA as your default for AA. Otherwise it'll sit and never load, I ran into that and the android prompt for which app to use was buried multiple times.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Threethreethree:
The app chosen pops up, but either one I chose refuses to load (unless I uninstall obd2aa). And even if I select "always" it asks every time.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GarryG:
After some time (car isn't registered in the winter) I tried to finally set up Torque w/ OBD2AA, but the icon that should show up on the app list of the head unit doesn't appear.

I downloaded 3.6b - was this the mistake I made? My AA has developer enabled, server started (phone has root) ... head unit is a stock 2017 GM/Chevy unit ...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Nick_Gl:
I don't get any weird drain from mine. It'll still charge with server running. still the normal slower charge than if it were on an outlet tho, I have a one plus 8 pro. I'm rooted too but I haven't ever had any problems with mine. I also use it to alter the DPI so I can get widescreen on my jetta. It took some trial and error to get a good ratio. I had to go to 100 DPI the get widescreen but then I used AA AIO tweaker to force widescreen and change the DPI to 121 because at <120 apps start using the mipmap-ldpi so 121 DPI you get the mipmap-mdpi.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GarryG:
Got a reference from the author of OBS2AA to a posting that I followed, now it's working as intended:

OBD2 Solution 1

Hi, please try like this: Sign up and install the beta:https://play.google.com/apps/testing/uk.co.boconi.emil.obd2aa Open the beta (it will be an empty app) Using the Settings -> Apps -> obd2aa -> uninstall the app Immediately reinstall...

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] naibaf365:
Should this still work? Have tested it with 3.6a and 3.6b and also with installed app from playstore. Would be interesting and what a real shame for google, that this isn't already working out of the box...

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] naibaf365:
I've got a Huawei P20 Pro, but this I haven't got the app in AA nor can I start AA with the app. Would love to use this.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] naibaf365:
So I got it running, for me I had to restrt the phone and solution 1 then worked for me.

There is a bit tweeking needed for a nice optic, but that's just a detail.

What i would love to have are numbers in the Scale to enable or disable.

For example regarding RPMs, 1000,2000,3000,... and to have different Sets of Dashboards.

Lets say for example one as default, one for all temperature sensors, one with a diagram instead of Scales and so on.

This is a great app with great opportunities to enhance your car!

Is the Dev still reading this or alive? I'm just thinking about getting into Google Apps to change these Things for myself, but have never done that, so this woudl be a bigger effort ;-)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Nick_Gl:
What I did with mine was download mqb-pm and "open" the APK as an archive and take some of the dials/backgrounds and use that when setting up. Its the last setting in the individual gauge settings. Just make sure to set gauge style as clear.

Here's MQB-PM
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] naibaf365:
holy quacamoly, these are some sexy dashboards on your link!

I need to try this :-)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pipster11:
Hey. I had this running perfectly for a while and after an os update on my phone it stopped. I had no luck for a while and gave up.

Recently I tried the "start head unit server" method and got it working. Only problem now is that I have to manually start the head unit server each time I want to use AA or OBD2AA.

Does anyone know a workaround?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] naibaf365:
For me, solution 1 worked fine so far, but also needed a few tries.

Install the app from the app store, uninstall it and install the downloaded file.

After doing these steps a few times, I even haven't had to start the head unit server manually. I chose AA (not ODB2AA) as soon as i pluged my phone in and I could use the dashboard.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MoonShadow24:
Hey so I got everything set up and its working. I'm trying to figure out why oil temperature isn't reading and the fuel pressure. But I got boost coolant temp trans temp and Maf to work and is reading currently. Any idea why those two aren't reading?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Gizmokid2005:
I have found that some PIDs won't show up on OBD2AA unless you start torque *BEFORE* you plug into the head unit. I have that issue with my transmission temperature with multiple devices using both 3.6a and 3.6b and it's just one of those things I've had to deal with. On top of the fact that the voltage gauge refuses to follow my config of 8->16 for values and always shows like 0->16.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MoonShadow24:
Thanks for the response ill have to tweak with it some more. And yeah my Trans temp did the same when I loaded torque it started to work. I also had to adjust the settings in it too for some of them then they started working. I'll have to do some playing around and see which ones are working or try to find the next best thing for those 2.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] michail71:
Anyone have issues with getting disconnected from their head units? I'm using a Jeep Uconnect 8.4 inch screen and an S21Ultra Plus.

I usually drop when launching an app, interacting with the screen, or using my phone. Maps usually seems fine.

I realized I loaded the beta version now 3.6b (I think it's the beta?)

Even with the crashes I couldn't go back to the horrible DPI and tap lock! Those two things make default Android Auto down right dangerous to use or next to useless.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] michail71:
I have a Uconnect 8.4 system too. I seem to get occasional crashes, especially when using the touch screen. So far it seems to be when using apps outside of navigation and Spotify. They appear to be more disconnects than crashes. It will sometimes reconnect and start working again on it's own. I'm on the primary USB-C port.

I'm going to experiment with USB-A and different DPIs to see if that helps. The DPI update is my primary reason for using odb2aa. 140 DPI looks great on that screen.

Uconnect is so buggy, I wouldn't be surprised if it's to blame. CarPlay users seem to report getting disconnected frequently.

These previous generation head units are often a mess. I don't think there is the developer community out there with the talent to make them work and the auto manufacturers could care less. I can't wait to have a modern OS based system in a car.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] michail71:
I figured out the problem. I was being prompted on the the phone for permissions when launching certain AA apps. I kept the phone unlocked and got through the prompts and then everything was okay.

The odb2aa app (3.6b) seems to crash rather quickly when the permissions prompt comes up. So you have to be ready for it..

I'd suggest everyone launch all their apps when parked and phone unlocked and make sure all the permissions are setup. But the app will crash in around a second, so you have to be fast.

Once permissions are set everything seems to stick.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rogfitz:
My OBD2AA shows up on AA just fine, but it doesn't connect to Torque Pro and get any data, so everything just shows 0. I've added 5 dials with: engine temp, engine rev, engine oil temp, speed gps and volts. Torque Pro works separately and shows everything on the phone.

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Samsung S20 Ultra, Torque Pro, OBD2AA and OBDLink MX+

edit: I restarted my phone and then it started working :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
You are most probably right, and like said that was how I did it the first time (version 1.1) but people were complaining about values jumping all over the place and same value being represented on multiple gauges. But instead of trying to "workaround" the problem I think I should just implement checks on the returned values, I made the stupid assumption that Torque does that :)

On a side note, I have emailed CamSam (blitzer.de) a few times asking them to help me so their app send an intent which I could pick up and use to display things in a much better way but it looks like it falls on depth ears, which is a pity because that potentially will encourage more people to purchase the paid version of CamSam Plus. Beside I'm getting irritated with CamSam, it's always messing up my media volumes, when it beeps for a camera, so I started looking into what can be done and I found this:

http://data.blitzer.de/output/static.php?v=4

I'm very tempted to write my own implementation, which could display, street name, the actual speed limit, camera type, etc properly in AA and totally skip CamSam app itself, but that needs a bit of work...

Alos found this:

http://direct.blitzer.de/iphone_put.php?key=Z8dhe5WEn3m2&requesttype=0&lat=[lat]&lon=[lon]&session=[imei]&speed=[speed]&cspeed=[cspeed]&ver=[ver]&art=[art]&type=[type]&direction=[direction]

Which allows a user to report a camera.

And this for mobile cameras:

http://data.blitzer.de/output/mobile.php?v=4&lat=[lat]&lon=[lon]&session=[imei]&ver=[ver]&cspeed=[cspeed]&direction=[direction]&key=Z8dhe5WEn3m2

SO I think I have everything I need to be able to DIY-it :)

EDIT:

To be clear I offered blitzer.de to pay them for the development, asking for a quote, but there was no answer at all.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
I don't understand those developers. What you want to do is bringing their app to Android Auto what it looks like they cannot do themselves. So a totaly new market is open for them to sell their services.

Emil, I absolutely love what you do with those Blitzer apps.

I've had an Android Car radio which was very cool. Everything was working but it was terribly slow. And I can't concentrate me on the street. I always wanted to push some buttons and make some settings while driving....

So I've decided to sell this device and buy an Android Auto device and I'm really happy with it. Lightweight, no chance to fiddle around while driving and everything is working what I need. Maps, Spotify, play music, TuneIn and calls. But one thing I wanted to have but never thought it gets real. And that was blitzer.de.

So I'm now absolutely happy and if you can implement your ideas to it, it will be absolutely fantastic!

The problems with the beeps I have, too. I totally make the app silent and let the phone and my pebble vibrate. So I know that there is a speed camera ahead after a slight look.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
You bet I will, I have a too big feet so I need something to keep me safe from those speeding fines :)

Actually it's not rocket science, the database contains the lat,long,speed,street name,camera type and angle of the cameras. All I need to do is to write a small piece of code which monitors the gps position and checks it against the database.

P.S. Even the queries CamSam use to interrogate the database are visible in the APK so I can see how they did it, making my job even easier...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Can't wait. The only thing I want to see soon is to have AA without cable over WiFi.

Hi Emil,

I'm from Singapore and have purchased your OBD2AA app. Absolutely love it on my Audi A4 2017 model.

Showed it to my friends driving the same car and all of them are keen. So expect more purchases in the coming weeks.

This is a noob question: any chance of making the gauges more pleasant 3D looking? Like those gauges in Torque Pro? It will be cool to have the Android Auto screen displaying nice gauges.

Thanks,

George
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] m00n61:
I was going to say, If you're going DIY, why don't you go for SCDB? Then I realised SCDB and CamSam/Blitzer are all Eifrig Media. CS/Blitzer actually use SCDB data.

And here is the link for B2B info:

https://clients.scdb.info/

I guess if you apply for a licence through their website you will at least get an answer.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Thank you. Yes some more gauges graphics are in the pipeline, but no ETA.

Emil,

I just emailed you a copy of a spreadsheet I had saved years ago with some detail on the Prius specific custom PIDs. This might be something you are already familiar with, but if not, maybe it is useful?

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yeap I got an answer:

Hi Emil,

Android Auto currently supports two types of apps:

# Audio apps that allow users to browse and play music and spoken audio content in the car.

# Messaging apps that receive incoming notifications, read messages aloud via text-to-speech, and send replies via voice input in the car.

There is no chance to develop a speed camera warning application for Auto and pass the review. If this changes in the future, CamSam will also have an Auto mode.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] metsec:

Leaves me with one choice, extract data from CamSam.apk and DIY-t.... but it's such a waste of resource... re-inventing the existing wheel...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Do you think they know that you're far ahead of their point?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I wrote them and told them, I sent them a youtube video.... so probably they did understand....

Just finished some mighty peace of work so I'm planning to fiddle around with the app this afternoon.

I also decompiled the TomTom Speed camera app, and it looks TomTom uses a different database.... (which doesn't even needs a KEY)

https://scmts.tomtom.com/speedcams/fixed/1.0/

Makes me wonder which database should I use, or should I merge the 2 databases for better coverage?

And then there is the database used by Garmin/iGO which is a 3rd one...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rogfitz:
I have the latest 3.6b version but everytime I try to set TPMS the app crashes. Can it be my car does not provde this info? I can't find any PID that looks like TPMS data.

Has anyone faced this weird issue? I have obd2aa installed, dpi set to 110 and fermata auto as player. Every time after i disconnect my phone from car, after using aa with this setup, I'm unable to make phonecall from my phone (not over bluetooth). Since i really need aa to work and phone as well I'm forced to ditch ond2aa until a fix will be found. Thank you for your help
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Nick_Gl:
Yeah, I encountered the same problem with one plus 8 pro with Verizon sim. I tried everything, changing permissions, notification settings, cleared storage and cache for obd2aa, phone, call management, services, everything. No luck tho. Ended up just getting rid of it as "the main app" and only run it for gauges only inside android auto.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] binary_boy01:
Hi there,

Thqnks for your answer.However, is there any chqnce ti run only gauges inside aa? I'm asking cause anytime i run it, crashes my phone and this happens to a s20fe. Previous phone was a huawei mate9, stock android 9 without any issues.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] King Mustard:
*bump*
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mverhagen:
HI,

I just purchased Torque Pro and the OBD2AA app. Inside Torque I can see all dials working perfectly, including GPS speed. On Android Auto with OBD2AA, most dials seem to work fine, EXCEPT the GPS Speed dial. This stays on 0. The GPS accuracy and other dials all work fine, so there doesn't seem to be any problem with the GPS NMEA data received from the OBD2.

The OBD2AA settings are set to NOT use the GPS from the phone, but even with that setting enabled the GPS speed dial still doesn't work in OBD2AA.

Another issue is that the "day/night mode override" doesn't seem to work. My head unit still uses the headlight setting (Suzuki Jimny 2021).

Any way I can provide more debugging info to help sort this issue?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Gizmokid2005:
For the dial issue, start up Torque manually before plugging into your head unit, and it will likely work. I've had this issue with a vehicle specific dial since I set it up. Occasionally it works fine but normally I have to start Torque first.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mverhagen:
I just tried this, and indeed, the GPS related dials work, but ONLY when the Torque App is open AND active on the phone. The moment I turn the phone screen off, the dials stop working. This kind of defeats the purpose of having a head unit. My phone is connected via USB and in a dash-bag, so I really can't have my phone screen on...

Is there anything that can be done to workaround this issue?

Also the day/night mode issue would be very nice to get working. The daylight sensor on the Jimny is way to sensitive, so the lights go on/off all the time (when in sun/shade/sun/etc). For that reason I have covered the sensor with a sticker (so it is always night mode, for which I turned the display brightness high). If the OBD2AA day/night mode would work on sunset/rise it would mean my display could still go dim after sunset, even though the daylight sensor is always covered.
