Hello.
I just bought Car Launcher Pro.
I would like to use it with my new Fiat 500S equipped with Android Auto.
But when I connect the smartphone (Nexus 6P with Android Oreo) to the car via USB, I see only the Android Auto interface and not the Car Launcher Pro interface. Can I make some mistakes? Is there any suggestion?
Thank you.
The default launcher in your panel was Android Auto. That's y upon connecting the phone it popped up.

a. I am a normal user, mainly need to use Bluetooth for phone calls, GPS maps and spotify. I realized that the caller apps does not allow me to put short cuts (quick dials) to my favorite numbers. Is there any way I can do it?
b. It is rather useless to have a headunit if there is no internet connection. I have my HP for WiFi tethering, and also a WiFi dongle. Both doesn't work well because the head-unit can only detect WiFi upon restarting the system. I am not sure why, If I were to shut off my engine, start it up again. The system will not be able to detect WiFi.
c. My head-unit comes with Zlink (apple car-play). Okay, this is funny. I connected my iPhone to the head-unit, but upon connecting to zlink, the Bluetooth connection is cut.
d. I intend to get the ELM327 so that I can see those cool gauges. But can the head unit support both ELM 327 and my iPhone Bluetooth simultaneously.
e. Lastly, do I really need to root it to get it perform? I am not good in all these.
For advice pls.

Can someone give me some advise pls
Hi Tweakmax,
i have the same version as you have. i bought mine from Isudar and is currently installed in my skoda.
A)I'm also not verry happy with the dialer app. First of all, the app is called bluetooth and has a bluetooth icon while it is a dialer. The contacts showed up after 2 hours!! The default launcher does not support custom widget elements such as a shortcut to person. I suggest installing an other launcher.
b) I'm not expierencing this problem.
C) My usb ports don't work. How did you manage to install car play? I have android Auto. By the way. Why do you want to use car play if you have an android head unit?
D) I can confirm that the ELM327 is working. Make sure to unpair the OBD2 dongle from your phone. Then unplug/plug the obd2 adapter.
E) root is not required. You can install other launchers and install APK's.
Hi guys,
What is the difference between running Android Auto on a Dasaita Max6 PX6 (that does not have the CarPlay dongle built in) using Headunit Reloaded vs. using the CarPlay USB Dongle (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32830020041.html)?
Is the dongle worth buying if I always use android phones?
Thanks!
This is an old post, but I'll answer it for anyone who stumbles upon it later like i did (it comes up pretty high on google).
If all you care about is android auto, and not carplay, I think Head Unit Reloaded is better. It lets you adjust the resolution and dpi, and supports day/night mode. The built in app with the dongle doesn't offer either of these things. HUR can also do wireless if you setup a hotspot.
Hi,
I have bought a generic android head unit (brand coho) with android 9.0 from aliexpress. My kia sorento has android auto enabled but the screen is 7" and resistive. Navigating waze is a slight challenge. So I bought a generic brand with working canbus, and the car usb connection to the player work.
When I plug in the phone to the usb of the car, a file manager comes up. Is it possible to setup the phone to function when connecting android auto based unit. Where the:
1. USB wired connection gets enabled so that the unit can connect to the Internet,
2. Bluetooth turns on so that I can make calls from the car.
3. Contacts get updated to the head unit.
4. Music can be played to the head unit
5. Navigation which was set on the phone gets displayed or remembered by the android player.
Possible?
As far as we know. There is no unit that supports thether over usb and Bluetooth.
Ok. Thanks

Check out Headunit Reloaded here on XDA and the Google Play store.
Hi,
I have a Chinese head unit called SoundStream. I am using it with HeadUnit Reloaded app because it does not support Android Auto. I have 2 questions. All advices are welcomed.
1. Is there a way install Android Auto to this head unit ? Because when i tried to download apk it says this device not support it.
2. Like i said i am using HeadUnit Reloaded app. It works fine most of the time I am ok with that. But only problem is dialer. My phone connected to headunit via bluetooth. So whenever i get a call or try to call someone head unit's bluetooth appers top of the Android Auto dialer. Is there a way disable default dialer while i am using Android Auto. I want to use Android Auto dialer UI instead of head unit's default dialer ?
Regards.
