Which car home app are you using for Note 3? And how do you start/stop it? NFC tag? Which app for NFC tag? Do you need action for both entering and exiting car mode? Or does it exit when the NFS tag is not close anymore?
Is there a way for a car home app to remap Home button to go to car home app while the car home app is running? Otherwise it's kinda hard to get back to car home from e.g. navigation or music player etc. Or was that functionality removed form Android? (read something on that issue but not sure which version of Android it applies to and which phones).
thanks!

This app was developed to enhance the experience on the Pumpkin Head unit:
Pumpkin 7" 1024*600 Touchscreen Android 4.4 Quad Core 1.6GHz DSP Car Stereo with RAM:2GB (RQ0270)
Currently, the unit offers the possibility to switch between system apps only. AppShifter provides an alternate way to extend this functionality to include favorite apps (Current maximum is 9). PowerAmp (if installed) control is also added as an extra option.
Once AppShifter is installed,
user will need to repeat the next steps to enable it:
a. Goto the Car Settings app.
b. Select as Navigator App the AppShifter.
c. Goto the Steering Wheel controls under the same Car Settings app.
d. Assign the Navigator App to a steering wheel button.
e. Save the settings and exit.
Next user will need to setup the favorite apps through a simple screen by repeating the next steps:
a. Pressing the assigned steering wheel button will bring up AppShifter. Its possible also to run AppShifter from the Launcher.
b. Long press on the icon that will be shown, will launch the Setup screen. Sliding down on the icon will terminate AppShifter.
c. Using the Setup screen, user can locate the apps to be able to shift through and:
c.1 Assign to them a number. This number will be the sequence in which they will be shifted. Same sequence number may be given but after saving, AppShifter will resort them and assign unique numbers. An app can be unassigned by setting the number to '-'.
c.2 If PowerAmp is installed then the option to allow PowerAmp to play at the background when the specific app is shown, is available. By default, AppShifter will pause PowerAmp when in background.
c.3 Any changes made will be saved only after pressing the Save button.
c.4 Exit button will reload the AppShifter and start using the apps set.
After the setup is completed, AppShifter will:
a. Shift between apps when the relevant steering wheel button is pressed. Same functionality is available when touching the screen.
b. The app shown on screen will be launched in 2 seconds unless it is shifted to a new app. PowerApp will be controlled accordingly (if installed).
c. Sliding down on the screen within 2 seconds, will cancel the launch of the app.
Limitations:
- I have only tested it on this head unit which is running Android 4.4, but it should work on other units.
Permissions:
- Draw over other apps. This is required to be able to switch between apps.

And a link for the app?

Just installed a Joying JY-ULS01N2 in my Jeep. Loving it so far, even though it's only been in a day. I just got the steering wheel controls hooked up and was wondering if there's some way to map a steering wheel button to an app. Specifically, I'd love it if I could open Google voice search without having to use the touch screen.
I know there is not button map option for an app, but maybe someone has used Tasker or some other app to do this?
Related question re: the "Source" button mapping. This appears to only toggle through the Joying-installed source apps (radio, BT, phone, aux, video). Can these apps be changed? I'd love to be able to toggle through Spotify, SiriusXM, PowerAmp, etc., since those are my go-to media apps.
Welp, I just checked to see if there were any replies and instead saw this post directly below mine: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...-units/joying-2gb-steering-wheel-key-t3543390. Think I'll give gustden's script a try and see what happens.
Making Joying Android 8.1 usable? Need universal volume widget & play/pause widget!
Hi,
I just picked up a Joying Android 8.1 head unit (JY-UOS02N4GS). I'm rather new to Android head units and am running into a couple issues...
The volume control buttons on the unit's trim sucks (doesn't respond well to button pushes) and I've been trying to find some kind of Volume slider widget I can add to my home screen.
Also, I need some way to universally play/pause regardless of what app is playing music. "Ubiquity Music Widget" was the best I could find, but sometimes the widget doesn't refresh on my home screen and I have to remove it and re-add it to get it to work again.
Anyone have some tips on a volume slider widget and a universal play/pause button widget?
BTW, I'm using Nova launcher.

Just buy a USB volume knob for Android.
A physical knob. Then attach the knob to one of the blank/dummy panels on your dashboard.
I bought this one a couple years ago: "Fusion Control USB Powered and Controlled Rotary Volume Knob" and it works great.
Plug it into your stereo's USB port and it should be picked right up.

Hey guys/gals, I purchased this unit https://www.joyingauto.com/newest-9...ivic-2016-2017-with-carplay-android-auto.html
and I have two remaining issues:
1) I would like to map the physical "button" of the radio to another app like Spotify, any way to do so?
2) Sometimes the skip song from my steering wheel it skips backwards, sometimes forwards, sometimes it starts the song again.
Any ideas?

Hi, your possible answers are:
1 - mapping is done by pressing on icon that you want to change - press and hold icon and when new menu apears choose one of the apps available to replace that app
2 - skiping songs - map steering wheel controls via factory settings (accessed via pin code) if can be mapped at all

For number 1, do I have to be on a specific screen?
Yes for number 1 on main desktop when all icons are (take a picture of main desktop and post it here).
If no prevail , use some other launchers from Google play store like NOVA LAUNCHER
