Hello Everyone,
I have Eunavi 2din Android 8.0 Octa Core 4GB RAM. Usually i connect it to my phone Via Wifi for Internet connection for Google Map, spotify, etc.
I am planning to equip 70Mai Dash cam to My car which have a wifi (Hotspot) connection.
Is it possible to connect Wifi to 70Mai to my Head Unit while still Connect to my phone? because i want to make it as wireless as it can, i dont want to use a USB cable/RCA to connect 70Mai to my Head Unit for display function.
Have you worked out 70mai connection to the head unit? how it works?

Has anyone used something like the Delphi Connect or Zubie with their head unit?
I just picked up one of the new Lollipop units from Joying and would rather not connect it with my phone. I am looking at these OBD units vs a USB hotspot. While I would give up bluetooth for OBD, I could run the Delphi or Zubie app on the head unit itself and see the diagnostic codes, etc.
Any experiences or thoughts? Reasons to go with one over the other?
Thanks!
I installed my new head unit today and picked up a Zubie from Best Buy. It is a hotspot that plugs into the OBD port.
It works like a champ too.
My head unit connects via WiFi and I have an always-on connection regardless of my phone being in the car or paired. This saves my phone battery when streaming music and running Waze (which is pretty much the entire time I am in the car).
I haven't even paired my phone to the head unit and am not sure that I will.
I can't run Torque since the OBD port is now in user, but steering wheel controls seem to work fine via CANBUS, so hopefully it won't be a problem.

New to forum, as well as new to the Android, Android Auto head units
I am looking for a better understanding of what's needed exactly to display the 'Torque Pro' app directly to a 'Head' unit without passing through a third device
I have the scanner port device
I have the 'Torque Pro' app running on the s9+ mobile device
Goal is to have the app running on a head unit minus the s9+
I have been reading, researching
Down to a Sony Android Auto unit
Or
Joying head unit that uses a sim card?
I am also concerned about quality of music playback, radio and FLAC files
Many thanks for your thoughts
To have OBD directly your only option is an Android based unit like the Joying. Android Auto just mirrors certain apps from your phone.
You'll need an OBD2 dongle. Just install Torque on the head unit and link it with the dongle same as you would with an Android phone.

Would this obd2 dongle be a USB, Bluetooth or WiFi connection?
I'd still want to be able to connect to phone to the head unit for calls etc. But for the torque Pro to work without the phone.

Yes, Bluetooth connection from head unit to OBD II adapter. You can have multiple Bluetooth connections so your Anroid head unit will be connected to your phone for voice and media and the OBD II adapter for data.
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.
I have the above head unit fitted and working fine in my car but I have an engine management device that contains a bluetooth low energy module in it. I would like to connect to this module via the provided app however it appears my head unit does not see or connect to BLE devices.
Does anybody know of a USB type device that I can connect to the head unit which will provide the ability to connect to BLE devices?
I'm using standard Dasaita android 10 and 3.69C.
Thanks
I have a similar issue. I have an Axxess signal processor which you make adjustments to it through Bluetooth. The processor connects to my phone but won't even be seen by my head unit (Dasaita max10). These head units only seem to recognize a phone or (select) obd dongles. It's pretty basic. I have been looking for ways to expand this, but so far unsuccessful.
Hey everyone. I recently picked up an aftermarket Android Auto/Apple CarPlay unit for my 2014 Lexus IS. The unit I have is Android 10 with a Snapdragon MSM8953 Qualcomm Processor. I have a couple of issues that I need help with.
The unit connects to my phone through Bluetooth but as far as the hotspot goes, it doesn’t connect at all. Z-Link needs a hotspot connection and my unit doesn’t automatically turn it on for my phone to connect to.
Basically the same as #1 but my Bluetooth doesn't connect and when I do connect it, the hotspot automatically starts up and I have internet connection. So it's a hit or miss when it comes to Bluetooth connecting or hotspot connecting. One connects but the other doesn't. Vice versa.
I’ve noticed in many other peoples Z-Links, in its settings they have the option to “Connect Automatically”. I’m not given that option at all. Is there any sort of thing I can do to make Z-Link start automatically? Rather than having to press the application every time I start the car?
I am assuming that once I figure out how to open the z-link application automatically, both issues 1 and 2 will fix each other.
I appreciate the help! Thank you!

Hy. I had the same Problem with the same Unit in the same Car. I ordered a "only DATA sim for tablets" from my Provider and installed it on the internal sim-slot from the Unit, and my Problem was gone.
The Unit himself can not handle Thethering (also named as Hotspot) with a Cellphone AND the (Carplay-Anroid Auto) Connection to the Unit.
(BT is only to handshaking in the first step but then wlan is used to use Android Auto or Carplay function of this Unit)
