Hi Emil, pencil me in to be a beta tester. :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SLAB_8002:
Great news! Thanks for your hard work on this.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kingcraft:
Testing? Here! Here! Here! :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Ok guys, the very long awaited update...

I need a few testers please, but please read before jumping on:

THIS IS NOT A FULLY WORKING PRODUCT YET!!!!!!!

Who should apply:

1) Persons who know how to capture a bug report

2) Only users who have authentic units (those who use OpenAndroid, Cranckshaft, HUR, etc please refrain you are a special case and I need to deal with it separately).

What should you expect and what you should do:

1) Email me please asking for an APK.

2) Install the received APK alongside with OBD2AA

3) Open Android Auto, go to About, make sure you are a developer (10 taps on the header), enable unknown sources in Developer Settings

4) Start Headunit Server

5) Close Android Auto

6) Make sure your phone is unlocked and plug it in to your car

7) When prompted choose and app for the USB device make sure you select AAGateWay and press Always.

8) Be patient, you should see prompts on your phone and car screen about setting up a new car

Now if all goes well you should have AA running on the car and you should be able to select obd2aa as well.

Disconnect from car and make sure you manually force stop AAGateWay.

In case of success uninstalling AAGateWay will be suggested, once because it's really heavy on CPU usage when running, and secondly because I haven't tested it for longer then a few minutes, so not sure how it will behave on the road.

IMPORTANT!!!!!

Currently performance is SUPER BAD and SUPER LAGGY, this is still FAR AWAY from a ready product, it's only a test to see if I'm on the right path.

I appreciate that there will be many users who will like to test, if I don't reply to you please don't get offended, once I have enough data I will update this thread.

I can no longer access the plugin from Android auto. It was purchased and installed through XDA labs and it used to work when iI pressed the rightmost button in AA (it was showing together with exit) but I no longer see it there. Do I need to do something else?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Read the op
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
Before you post, at least read the current page..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] andreasy:
I read both the OP and last few pages before posting but didn't realize anything. Only part I was unsure is this AA patch which I never saw before in older posts but I thought this is only for those who use the free version from xda and not the purchased. Other parts like root, I've seen them and I'm already rooted. Which part are you referring to, maybe the patch is needed for paid version as well?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
The first sentence of the op. Sales has stopped Google has blocked again.

No longer working for most people that are up to date on Google play services.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NU13:
Question for Emil. The testing that you are asking a few people to do for you...are you asking those with root-Ed or none root-ed phones??
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:
It’s already working with rooted phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Non-rooted.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SLAB_8002:
Emil, will AA Gateway only whitelist obd2aa, or will it enable other apps as well?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Catalln:
Not working
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Framingr:
Thanks for that insightful feedback.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:
Is your AA start with gateway?

Mine just doesn't.

Also I need to stop server deinstall gateway and reboot the phone to use AA again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Same here Emil is working on this.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi guys.

The first tests aren't as good as I hoped. Last week I spent all week trying to get to the bottom of this but not too much joy. The most I was able to achy on real cars is to get the phone complain that brake is not on :D

One of the big problems I'm facing is how usb accessory works, when the phone connects to the car it switches to accessory mode, the problem is that USB mode is different compared to normal USB mode, all the reads are blocking so the app won't move on till it doesn't receive some data from the car, also while it's stuck in read it cannot write (send) any data to the car.

Why is this a problem?

- Some of data sent to the car will require an answer from the car others won't In current state I'm not sure which set of data does and which doesn't. I do a few but not all, so I need to work it all out, in a nutshell I need to remaster AA at every bit level.

It looks like I will need to buy myself a pioneer or other original AA headunit. Sadly this tasks appears to be much more complex then I have anticipated or hoped....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] david320te:
If would like to betatest also, because i have one stock honor 8 and one Galaxy s5 with oreo and root
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Niemer:
I just got this working with Crankshaft, and I gotta say, it's amazing. Thank you for all the hard work and persistence.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes that is possible, same way like it's possible with HUR. However I suggest not starting to shout out too loud about it if you don't want you know who to do another block. Also can yo please email me in private regarding that, I did not had the chances to play around with Cranckshaft but I had some users asking how they can make it work, so that will save me some time so I don't need to DIY-it. Thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chrischa:
Hi together,

may I ask You which version of android auto is the lastest currently working with obd2aa?

2.9, according to the description in xda labs?

Thanks in advance
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] korniza:
There is a software AA+ Patcher on the forum. Did anyone managed to work with OBD2AA on un-rooted device with AA 3?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Goon818:
Have you a link for this Patch?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Anybody with a real device/car (no Crankshaft, HUR users please) who can run a quick test please and send some logs please? I will email the APK which needs to be installed.

I need to collect slightly more data.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] korniza:
I have sync 3 from Ford
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Theoretically with any app but I'm gonna limit it for obd2aa only, don't want another block from Google.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I've emailed you the APK.

it did not worked for me :(

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

I think the brake error comes from the hardware itself.

I read about a wire that is connected to handbrake ( https://forums.androidcentral.com/android-auto/595755-android-auto-setup.html ).

So some car may have it, others don't.

I try to find on Forscan if it possible to check this value and verify the existence on a real car.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Nope brake error message comes from the fact that I'm tempering the data sent between AA and the car.

Hi guys.

Those who want to help, please send me an email to borconie@gmail.com so I can send you an APK.

This is NOT a working product yet, not sure how much more I need till I make it a working product but I need input from different cars / headunits to understand how they react.

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

Thanks for the private emas, sorry to those who I haven't responded. Last 2 days were busier then I expected and I'm looking forward to a long weekend (no not relaxing work!).

I will be back in touch with all of you most probably on Tuesday.

As it stands at the minute I can successfully inject and manipulate data sent between the car and the phone but I need to work out fully when I need to respond to the car when not and so on, massing up the sequence brakes AA.

The good part is that data can be manipulated, now I need to make sure I do manipulate it in the right way.

This also means that when I'm done with this the 6 taps limit will be disabled as well, and you will also probably have an option to use Bluetooth for audio instead of USB if you wish to do so.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Aaron407:
This sounds like a phenomenal project. I just wrote on the google group for AA about the scrolling/tapping lockout not helping in the safety department and inhibiting function overall, so bypassing that would be a huge step as well. In terms of Torque, I'd be more than happy to test for non-root devices if/when you're at that point since I don't want to trip Knox on my phone. Currently running Crankshaft.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] charlieporth1:
Emil I'd absolutely love to test your non rooted version I love what you've been doing and thank you for your hard work
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] barry666:
I would be up for testing, non rooted note 8, AA on focus St 2017. I'm missing this badly...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
To make thinks a bit more simple, and due to the fact that probably I will need a few hundreds of apk compiles and tests till I get it right, I have ordered a Sony XAV unit today, so in a few days I will have a real unit to test and be able to build properly.

That being said, I will be away between Thursday and Monday so again bit of set-back :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] danyAf:
Take your time emil, i'll keep waiting stable not root version. Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Well the Sony should help a lot.... Not being able to test on a real device made it very difficult for me.... Hence deciding to bite the bullet and buy the headunit....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fergysteven:
Emil could you send me the apk, fergusonscdm@blueyonder.co.uk

I have a Sony XAV AX 100 in my Magnum and I love it. Good choice, I think you won't regret it.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to use it I'm happy with my cheap Chinese headunit running HUR on it.

I only bought the Sony, which has just arrived, solely to be able to make obd2aa work again, once I made it I will be selling the unit, I'm not intending to mount it into the car either at all.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Sony arrived today, till now I have managed to pass the parking brake error those guys saw who tested the apk, event better, I got it to see it working as well to some extent.

I had to continuously keep tapping the screen in order to see the data, so I still need to sort out timings and order, but I'm yet again some steps closer.

The good new is that as per expectation the obd2aa did show up :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Not fully working but, this should keep your hopes up:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:
Cool.... good job. But what if car starts to move.? How can you test it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
At the moment I need to get AA running in a stable way, then we can focus on testing obd2aa, but the app was working quite well before Google got it blocked...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Leaving for the weekend, today I got confirmation from a small test that the app also started up on a Ford Sync 3, so fingers crossed we will get there...

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hard to say, it has mainly good reviews but bad as well, probably it will be ok, but I cannot guarantee it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MisterEff:
Awesome. I tried tinkering with it, but nothing on my end could get it to work. I hope you get it working in the latest version.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Currently I'm only aware of following issues:

- Wrong conversion (or no conversion) for some units

- Occasionally the min/max values are wrong.

- In a few cases multiple gauges are updated with the same value.

Is your issue one of this or are you facing different problem?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spiff72:
Would the issue I had fall under the 3rd item in your list? My Prius custom PID values fail to populate (PID values work in version prior to 1.2 - and I am running that version and living with the bugs of MPG value jumping all over when it is over 100 MPG.)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MisterEff:
It might? The max values are definitely wrong but I'm not sure it's just a conversation issue. My temp reads 60 when it should be 190F. 60C is only 140F so something is off there.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Your's is to do with number 3 however I'm not 100% convinced that it's not something to do with the adapter.

P.S. Never got a response from Torque developer regarding the readings so at the moment I'm on my own on that....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yeap, that is most probably a conversion issue.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ControlNode:
Installed yesterday, love the idea and not everything is working. At present at work and not had time to read the whole thread, but did read first few pages. If one of my concern/gripes is already addressed I apologize, just point me back to x page please.

In my Focus RS I'm not getting the [FORD] PID values, I see them as options when I click on a gauge's PID. I'm interested in Tire Pressures, IAT2 and EGT. AFR(m) is working great.

Also, would be nice to have warnings for low percents, like fuel. having a high percent of fuel is not something I want a warning about, but if I have less that 25 or 10%, time to warn me. For a car like my Civic having + and - values for the MAP sensor would be great.

Great work and looking forward to updates!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] m0tyrider:
Hey Emil, I just installed a Kenwood DDX9017DABS in my car, if you want to do any testing on it, just shoot me a PM.

Looking forward to the development of your app!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kill Me:
Very interesting app, do i have to buy another app "torque pro" and an obd2 wifi dongle to be able to work, correct?

Do anyone recomend any for an Astra K?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Some updates on features/developments:

1) Added search option for PIDs as per requested by multiple people. - DONE

2) Moving code to service, meaning the app will connect to Torque Pro as soon as you are in car mode (no need to press the 5th element) - Partially done

3) Implementing a workaround for those who suffer from multiple gauges showing same values.

4) Fixed the Status Bar for day theme (signal, mic) icon were grayed out during day, got that fixed. - DONE

5) Managed to add a title to page - DONE

6) Managed to add a Menu button (but I wasn't able to work out how to add menu items, YET!) - this is inside AA, not sure what I will put in there but nice to have it sorted for future. - Partially DONE

What else will be in next version:

7) Fixes for wrong calculations

8) Reaming distance will be always monitored even if you did not include it in the pid list, warning will be presented in headsup notification when distance below 50 miles

9) Headsup for any alarm set in Torque

10) I'm hoping to have CamSam (blitzer.de) and TomTom Speed Camera app notification sorted as well (even if developers of the mentioned apps do not help on it)

Longer distance:

- New gauge style

- Support for positive/negative values

[MENTION=4231950]ControlNode[/MENTION] - please see above, hopefully this will answer the question.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes you need both of them I'm affraid. Any OBD2 should work on Astra, just stay away of the very cheap OBD2 ELM327 readers (the ones which costs £2-£3)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pyrres:
When is the update live?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
When I manage to tackle all the points between 1 and 6 described above
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ControlNode:
[MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION] Thanks. And just some more thought on the -/+ gauges, if may be nice to be able to configure the low/high values of the gauge. For the boost gauge I would like to set the range to -15 to +25. This would make setting the warning percents a little easier I think since you know the display range is ~40psi. Last night with the boost gauge 0 is about 0 on the gauge, - values swing under the bottom and gauge is going red with default warnings at only 18psi of boost.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes those gauges needs a bit of different logic/design than the linear ones. No promise I will implement it in next version, but I will do my best.

The min/max should be provided by Torque based on the readings from ECU, so we should only set the warning levels.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MisterEff:
Emil. I also have an issue where the units are not scaling with the gauges. I have it set to 3 and the units are tiny and covered by the actual number.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spiff72:
Just a quick update to the issue I am having. Was using the originally released version successfully (other than the issue with the MPG jumping around when the value was over 100). I have a 2010 Prius and the custom PIDs worked fine.

I wiped my phone last night to try to address battery issues on my Nexus 6P, so I did a fresh install of both Torque Pro and OBD2AA 1.2 on the current non-beta version of Android O. I am now back to the issue where the custom PID values read zero, but the standard PID values work. I have the first 3 gauges set with custom values and the last 3 gauges use standard PIDs.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Thanks for highlighting.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fma965:
BTW I presume this was mean to be Android Auto 3.0?

I always thought i didn;'t need to patch on HUR? if i press ignore i just get a link to XDA on how to patch (i thought for it to work on HUR it didn't need root either?)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
You are right, you would need the older version of obd2aa which ignores the patch.... Hang on for a couple of days till I release the public beta.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fma965:
No problem, i've found a old APK in a email convo between us so will use that for now, not sure on the exact age of that apk but oh well.
