After watching the demo video, this seems to work as well as Android Auto built into many cars.
I've rented probably 8 different cars with Android Auto.. this seems as good.
- solarkraft 9y agoI guess so. It runs Android Auto. But does that mean it's any good?
- jchw 9y agoI've got a '16 Honda Civic and a Google Pixel 2. Android Auto works... but it's buggy sometimes. Voice controlled elements frequently freeze everything, and sometimes it refuses to connect. It seems the source of the problem is probably Bluetooth, because turning that off for a moment generally improves things. Basically, it's totally possible to get Android Auto wrong. I've rented probably 3 different cars with Android Auto and none of them have the problems my personal Civic has. I guess what I'm getting at is, I'd happily take a reliable, open source implementation of Android Auto in my car over whatever comes in the stock head unit. Would I actually go around hacking firmware in my own car? Honestly it's a possibility.
