Been searching for days but have had no luck. I'm trying to find a widget to control my music on my phone and possibly display track info as well. My steering wheel doesn't have pause or a way to active media on my phone when it first connects. Only media controls that seem to work are the one in the Bluetooth app. Looking to similar controls as Android wear's controls but in widget form. Thanks in advance.

I am finishing a car project and i cant find a tutorial to activate gesture control for changing songs skipping and pausing songs in google music. i know of the pop gesture apps but i cant find an option for the music control in GOOGLE MUSIC.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
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.
I've pretty much settled on Power Amp 3 for my mp3's, but one thing that still bugs me is that I can't see track info when I'm in Waze. I'm always switching back and forth.
Is there any media player that can display and overlay on top of the active navigation app? Sort of how Google Maps will put a small version of the map on top of your active app.
I guess I could have Power Amp as the main app, with Google Maps overlaying in the corner, but I'm looking to have it the other way around... and I like Waze better.
Finally found an app in the Play store that accomplishes what I was looking for. "Music Control" creates a floating music control overlay that will display over Waze, or whatever else you're running. It grabs album cover, artist, and song title from your active media player and works great with Power Amp. Also gives play and seek buttons, though I just use steering wheel controls.
... in case anyone else was interested.
Hi, I just installed an android headunit in my car and I am looking for some good launchers.
I tried Agama launcher and it's probably my favorite, but the main thing that makes it great is the way you can control the volume with the rotating ring, and it doesn't work on my unit.
I also couldn't find any other launcher that let's you modify the volume in that way. I don't have any volume buttons on my steering wheel and the touchscreen buttons on the headunit are in a not so convenient place so I would really like to have an option to change it on the screen.
I also found the CarWebGuru launcher which does have working volume buttons but for some reason the "Next/Previous Song" buttons don't work with my bluetooth music. Everytime I press it it goes in a player and tries to play local songs.
Do you know a launcher that has both of these things? (Or even better, a way to make Agama's volume buttons work) Thank you!
