these are 2 completely different applications, one is real android auto one is a fake version of android auto, not a problem but just saying.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Automate is very nice and feature rich (and it does provide Torque support similar way I'm bringing it to Android Auto). I had 2 problems with Automate, which made me switch to Android Auto about 2 years ago, and they are not addressed till today.

1) Google maps ins't really integrated, not the Automate developer's fault, since there is no official or real way to do that unless you are google.

2) Cannot control your phone calls from a tablet (or any secondary device)

If you are planning to use only your phone and want all in one solution, and you are ok with using Google maps as it's displayed in AA or use Maps in full screen normally, then Automate might be a better solution. I think AutoMate have done a great job in what Android Auto should have done in the phone version, I was quite disappointed with the phone version of AA. The projection mode of AA still rocks :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Michealtbh:
I'd much rather use Headunit plus this app along with AA, but Headunit alone is £7 so it'd work out quite expensive for me

My PayPal is on lockdown atm due to a dispute anyway so I've no choice
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
It's only $7 if you purchase from XDA Labs rather than PlayStore. Sorry about the prices, I do try to keep them fair to the amount of work which goes into the apps, as well as the support which is sometimes needed for each app. If you are really short of cash shoot me an email and I'll see what can be done. However I do suggest that you first download the trial version of the HUR app and test it for phone calls. SelfMode (when you run everything on one device) and some call screens can be nasty together, for example the Asus callscreen does screw app HUR big time when in selfmode so it might not be a viable option in the first place.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Emil, your support is unpayable. That's what I just wanted to tell you!

Thank you very much. Good Dev :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Thank you, this kind of comments offsets the hugely unfair negative ones which totally demoralize me... I know not nice to whinge and moan but sometimes I just need too.... Like the other day, someone gives a one star rating to the HUR Trial app on PlayStore with a silly comment:

am not able to try, no idea how to make it work from my mobile to my android hu, i need help

Sure I get upset but I offer to help:

Hi. If you need help please do not hesitate to email me to borconie@gmail.com

Email exchange, not going to spam the thread with it, after about 3 emails exchange it turns out that he wasn't able to install Android Auto on his phone because he is in a country where it's not available on PlayStore, I send him a link to APK mirror, and give him instruction on how to install it, never even says thank you....

So I will like to say a big THANK YOU for your words sometimes they mean much more than a few bucks in the pocket.

Luckily the XDA community is totally different to the PlayStore one, so cannot say anything negative about all the guys from here who continuously supported me in the last 1,5 year, so thank you everybody.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Ok now that I have winged, glad to say version 1.3 is available for download from Beta channel.

Changelog:

- Pid's are searchable (popular request)

- Different approach on pulling data from Torque

- Added Heads-Up warning support (currently for fuel) but you can add your own using Torque PID Alarms.

- Fixed rendering units covered up by values.

- Fixed Fahrenheit conversion

- Try to enhance PID's min/max value

- Added Heads Up for Speed Cameras (powered by CamSam Plus)

To see the SpeedCamera warning you must Open CamSam Plus, go to Settings -> General and enable Alerts on Smartwatch.

Please report back with the bugs you find so I can fix them before pushing from Beta to Release.

Thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Goon818:
Emil you are a great programmer. Without you, I would not have the nice HUR and this nice obd app. You are great!

I downloaded the beta and would test it tomorrow.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Thank you :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ControlNode:
Looking much better. Could you go over the logic you used for Max values? Mainly, does it still start with the Max value torque provides and if (current value > Max value) Max value = current value? Asking because the intake air temp when it was showing in C was scaled better, now that it is displaying F it is at the Max. Does the received Max value need the same math applied to it as displayed current value when using F?

My knock counter is no longer cloning the gauge before it, curious where that was, since I'm not updated torque you're either pulling values differently (remembered you were hesitant to do multiple calls for performance reasons ) or found a bug in the code processing the returned array (my inner coder was thinking there may have been a float variable initialized outside a foreach loop that in the loop was only updated if the value at current index != null).

Any way, awesome work. Thanks for working on this and putting up with those that can't be bothered to read.

Think I found a bug in the beta. After disconnecting torque continues to run in the background.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I'm banging my head against the wall at the moment. I have tested at least 40-50 times connecting disconnecting from a "CAR" in my office to make sure the cycle of Torque starting/Stopping is correct. Went out to the car to do a test drive, and Torque fully misbehaves, absolutely nothing like in test GGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Now back to the polling, yes I have switched to poll each value separately in a for loop rather than poll and array simply because the problem I have described in my previous explanation. It looks like it doesn't have an impact on performance well not visible at least.

Yes logic should be start with max value provided by torque, if reading higher, increase the max value, except for 2 pids (instant MPG and instant KPL). Going to double check the code now, just to make sure I haven't screwed up something there.

My biggest headache is at the moment, why it's different in the car compare to office.... I have an odd feeling it is something to do when the OBD2 adapter is connected to the phone....

Currently I have tied the app start and stop to the following intents:

<action android:name="android.app.action.ENTER_CAR_MODE"/>
<action android:name="android.app.action.EXIT_CAR_MODE" />

But it looks like when you are in the car they don't fire correctly... so I might move everything and tie it to a bluetooth connection, but that is yet another setting to be done in the app, which I will like to avoid.

Edit:

UPS, you are right about the logic of max value, I left || instead of && in the code, stupid me!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ControlNode:
Sounds like it is time to park the car in the office and connect a BT adapter to development system if there is not already one ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yeah my office is in my backyard (no access with the car) and I only have on street parking... so it's a bit of a pian...

And the worst out of all is that when you plug your phone into the car the Wifi ABD gets resetted, so cannot even do a proper debugging over Wifi when I connect to the car.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi.

Yes please feel free to email me, however I will be quite busy the next few days so I might not be able to respond as quickly as usually.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dr. Claw:
Hello Emil,

Can you confirm that the Headunit Server is absolutely needed to gain the features of OBD2 such as tap limit removal and speed camera alerts?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes it's a must
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jozka.1:
Hi,

I have one question... I don't understand whether this app works with latest AA 3+ because version above than 3 has "disabled" unknown sources for 3rd apps.

Thank you!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Well that's the beauty of it, that I found a way around the block :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] froader:
So, that success was short lived. It failed to work the next time I was in the car. Since then I denied root and started HU server and it's been working fine ever since.

Next I plan to try auto start AA when connected to my Pioneer BT to see if I don't have to have the HU server always running.

Looks like all is working other than the root portion. LMK if you'd still like an email follow up.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Alphaelectric:
Did a long trip today and the app worked like a charm. Thanks again for bringing it back to life. BIG thumbs up!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] billusd:
Same problem here with a LG g7
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Either of you have developer mode enabled?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] horrorshow21:
Force stop seems hit or miss. It worked the first time I tried it but not the second, I ended up still having to reboot the phone. Ultimately I'd like to to just leave the HU server running in the background all the time and be able to dock and undock my phone without rebooting or force stopping the apps. [emoji16] I do love the app though. Keep up the good work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Yesterday I re downloaded the app from XDA without any issues.

Emil, I was too dumb with the speedcam alerts. I thought, for this I don't have to start the server. My apologies for all the whining. Sorry sorry sorry.

So at this moment it is working on my Pixel XL with Pie.

The server don't eat my battery?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] billusd:
Yes!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dc2603:
Hmmm... downloaded app again and tried on SGS8+ but still crashes. Have also reset device to defaults to be sure.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NU13:
Seems to an issue with samsung.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dc2603:
I managed to get it working again.... might be an another app on the phone interfering perhaps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kingcraft:
Emil, previously, I wrote that the Speedcam alerts are not working anymore. I did a bit more driving during the last days and I can say that they are not completely broken.

On Saturday, I did a 100km trip and I got one Speedcam alert (should have been a lot more). The alert was only the last one of the three ones and also quite late, actually when I've already passed the Speedcam, maybe that helps for debugging.

What I also noticed is that, since the new version of OBD2AA (anti google hack) has been introduced, the trip upload if Torque Pro does not work properly anymore. A lot of coordinates are missing if it works, but sometimes trip upload does not work at all. Not sure what it is connected to, but that's just hat I noticed. Do you have an idea about that?

Anyway, gauges are working quite well at the moment, which makes me happy. Just want to report my observations and hope that they are somewhat helpful. Thanks a lot for keeping up this great project!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:
(null)

It’s working fine on Samsung S9+, sometime I have to reboot my phone to connect to HU. As Obd2AA get stuck. But so far it seems a little bit more stable and reconnect with not too much issues.

One thing i noticed so far, it can uses the wrong PID if the connection between phone and car is lost and resumed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Next time try just force closing obd2aa and if that doesn't work also fc google play services.

That seems to work for me and saves the reboot hasel.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:
FC OBD2AA does nothing. And I cannot fc google play service.... greyed button. So only option atm is rebooting.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
By crash you mean force-close or simply not working? If it's Force Close (or stop responding) please send me a bug report asap.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I will try to look into the mentioned problems, been quite bus lately and probably I will be in the near future but will do my best to investigate especially the need of reboot problem, I admit that is very frustrating...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] billusd:
Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
[MENTION=9084669]jeromeo01[/MENTION] [MENTION=9419473]billusd[/MENTION] or anyone else who is facing the reboot issue, can you please email me to borconie@gmail.com there is something I will like you guys to try.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chevyguy128:
Does the gauges work with no root and just the updated obd2aa? I bought this awhile back and it broke with the play services update I was always able to uninstall and it works for some time then broke due to Google black list. I have the LG V20 and no Pie update yet. Just updated the obd2aa package today and will have to see in my 2016 silverado if its working again. I hope it does!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Yes it will work you will have to manually start the Hu server though.

Good luck I meant that in a good way. :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chevyguy128:
Awesome thanks for quick reply and haveing to manually start it is. It the worst in the world at all. It will become a habit aftwr awhile I wish my ELM32 would work for my 2004 VW GTI but can't get a probe yet works fine in my 2016 Silverado
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dc2603:
All good I had to reboot the device every time. But it will launch after rebooting. Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dr. Claw:
Hey Emil, the 6 tap restriction removal doesn't appear to be working anymore. Was there a Google Play Services update?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Works for me
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chevyguy128:
It does not work ALL THE TIME but confirmed working, however spotify seems not to want to play but all other music apps do. Strange.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
I saw a few posts in the Xposed module forum for the tap remover module with people saying they have issues with Spotify. I'm sure both are similar in the way they do the removal.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chevyguy128:
I mean small price to pay to get this app going again I'm very happy with the dev and all his work and hats off to him!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Not saying you were complaining at all. I'm sure emil will even figure out Spotify. :)

He is the man. My hats off to him as well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] horrorshow21:
A quick update to my having to reboot every time.

Two scenarios:

Scenario 1:

Disconnect phone (Everything working)

Stop HU server.

Next time I get in the car, start the HU server.

Plug the phone in before starting the car.

Start the car.

AA comes right up with with obd2aa working.

Scenario 2:

Disconnect phone

Leave HU server running

Next drive, plug phone in before starting car

Start car

AA/obd2aa open but gauges were not working.

Had to reboot.

Only ran scenario 2 once though so need to do some more testing. Thinking maybe it didn't connect to the OBDII.

2017 VW GTI, MIBII head unit.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Scenario 2 sounds like it didn't connect t to your adapter. Next time it happens check the torque notification and see if it is connected or waiting.

I get that once in a while too.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:
Scenario 3

Stop car leave phone plugged for a couple of minutes and obd2aa crashes... only way out its reboot.

If I unplug shortly after ignition off. No issues at all.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] horrorshow21:
That's what I'm thinking. But I was leaving work and it was like 90 degrees out. So was like screw it I'll just reboot. Lol.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pport:
I have been having a really hard time using OBD2AA with Ford's Sync 3 recently. I used to use this app frequently a few months ago, and then stopped for a while.

Last couple of days, I followed all the steps listed to make this work (enabling head unit server, etc.), and Sync 3 just throws up a message saying cannot initialize Android Auto. And then keeps going into this loop where it keeps try to initialize and quits, over and over again. Android Auto works fine otherwise, without trying to use OBD2AA.

Any suggestions? I have a HTC phone, and I have used OBD2AA on this phone successfully before.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ahpigsy:
That's the exact same problem I've been having with my S8 and Ford Sync3. The only way around it is to restart your phone. Then start the AA head sever. Exit AA. Then plug in your phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] horrorshow21:
Plugging my phone in before starting my car has "fixed" all the issues I was having. Small annoyance but much less so than rebooting my phone every time.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] montajd:
Emil, was wondering with the DPI option now available with HUR, if you can make it to where the gauges stay centered on the screen after adjusting the DPI. For example, on my Pixel 2XL, I like a DPI of 208, but this causes the gauges to move up, instead of staying centered horizontally

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Honestly I don't know.... But that gave me an idea, DPI change to be added to obd2aa as well so anyone can adjust the screen...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chevyguy128:
Hey! Is any one having issues with Google maps with this ? At time it just spins the map and this I'm going tne other way then quickly spins the other way the real way I'm going. This does not happen with just the android auto app but on with the obd2aa app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Yes I have reported this to Emil and even sent him a video.

He is aware.

Thanks

To help out what head unit are you using?

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
The issue is caused by the 6 tap limit remover. If you disable that option in obd2aa settings the problem should go away.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tek_ids:
The application runs perfectly on R-Link. Thanks to the developer for your support.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NU13:
Still not having any luck with the app. Still getting the unsupported device message on the headunit. Galaxy A8+ jvc kw740m bt

Add new cars to android auto must be on

Nice day!

If you're not already, use a genuine Samsung lead. I had the same issue until I changed..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GPO123:
Is it possible to add AAMirror to the whitelist ? I'm using it to run other navigation apps that for obvious reasons are not part oft AA. It's kind of ridicolus that you are blocking the APP from the developer that helped you the most to get rid of AA 3.x blocking. Strange kind of humor.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
AAMirror will need root in first place, if you have root and you use AA Mirror Unlocker (which is needed) that will unlock OBD2AA as well and you don't need to connect using the headunit server (it's a different approach), so the whitelist / blacklist in my app won't have any effect on it.

If you don't have root and you want to connect with obd2aa, there is no point of whitelisting AAMirror because that won't work without root, but someone else might exploit that to create a package with the same name and use other apps....

Hope this answers your question.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GPO123:
For the moment the problem is solved. Wanted to try your "obd2aa direct" or "auto hacker" method. This was not possible due to the blocking of restricted apps. Anyway, this method is not applicable because I am using a MZD with AIO/headunit process where you have have to follow the HUR route.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PRP98svt:
Unfortunately this whole process isn't working at all for my setup: AICP Oreo 8.1, Magisk rooted, Xposed installed.

Whenever I install the program and go through all of the steps in the OP's instructions, I do see a "OBDAA" or "Android Auto" Just once/Always prompt, but both the "just once" and "always" are grayed out. I cannot select either. If I tap on OBDAA, it just opens a generic white program window and tells me the headunit server isn't running (actually, it is - I turn it on manually everytime).

As a fun side effect, Android Auto won't start at all anymore as long as OBDAA is installed.

So this whole process has been an exercise in futility and frustration for me since the latest version came out. Therefore I've uninstalled OBDAA and just use Torque on the phone itself. At least that works as intended.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Alphaelectric:
Ok, don't take this as a regular "bug" since it is just weird. I'm wondering if anybody else had something similar happen before.

- current ODB2APP and current AA release on Sony XAV AX 100.

- running Google Maps navigation and playing Google Music quick mix while driving

Google music plays new song "Soul Education" by "Jamiroquai" and app. 30 seconds into the song the head unit suddenly goes black and crashes. Unplugging and reattaching the USB-cable did start AA once and it crashed again. After that, nothing.

I stopped the car at the side of the road and rebooted the phone and the head unit. Then reconnected. Maps loaded the navigation, ODB2APP was up and running. As soon as I hit "Play" on Google Music with that very song.....everything crashed again. After some isolating, the click of death could be attributed to Google Music playing "Soul Education"!

Once I selected "Next Track" - while still paused - and something different came on, everything was back in order. No more crashes for the rest of the trip......

Anybody got a faint idea to the cause of this rather selective behavior? Somebody at Google doesn't like Jamiroquai perhaps ??

Cheers
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dingbat75:
ok so I need help guys

I cannot get this to launch on my HU at all. I have followed instructions to letter on OP also tried uninstalling AA, OBD2AA and Torque then reboot phone reinstall and start again still it won't load on HU

I'm using galaxy s8 with android 8, AA 3.5.583024

VW Golf with MIB2 Discover Pro

Do need to be running older version of AA? or does a patch need to be run 1st? I know there was a patch put out in past when Google released new version AA

the HU server is running and so the OBD2AA Android Auto hacker.

I choose always for plugin when I get OBD2AA or AA option

Any help greatly appreciated :good:
