Hello mates,
maybe it's a stupid question, but I couldnt find a solution yet. Hoping for your help.
Is it possible to use the px5/px3 head unit as an android car "car"?
I would like to connect my smartphone via USB or BT to the head unit and Android Car should recognize it as a car. So my Android headunit will receive and display informations like Whatsapp, Spotify, etc. from my smartphone. Like in my KIA, Audi or similar.
I dont mean some "Screen Mirroring" apps like EasyConnect or other similar things where I have to start an app on my android headunit itself and on my mobile Phone.
Looking forward to your answers,
Sebastian

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.

Hello I want to upgrade my car with a new head unit.
Which one is currently the best on market ?
Quick start or fast start or something like this would be a really really nice feature.
Thanks!
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
Im a bit tech savy but not great and sorry if this has already been asked. I have a Pumpkin (see below) I have the aux lead that goes in the back, I understand Ipods have an issue connecting to Android 8.0 or newer, I just wondered if anyone has come up with an app that works with it or anyway it can work? Or if Ipod doesent work anymore is there a way of connecting an old Android phone through Aux so I can just keep all my music inside it in the glovebox. I know you can connect via bluetooth and I also know I can run spotify through the unit, just would really like all my music just sat in the car without having to rely on data or the internet for music to run.
Also is it easy to upgrade to Android 9.0?

I have a Eonon Headunit with Android 10.1 8227L, but it looks like you can only pair it with a phone and OBDII? Is there a way to get the native/stock android bluetooth pairing menu? I have a few bluetooth devices in the car that I want to connect to but it doesn't have a search function for these devices. I am assuming the Eonon rom locks it out? Or does it not have the hardware to do it?
