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

hello to all
i have enable the OBD present on my unit and added to the connector. it is connected by bluetooth (or i should connect by usb)?
altough i cannot pair it i think
is there any procedure to correctly do it?
thanks
It should work with bluetooth but you have to pair it through the OBD app not the Android settings menu.

HI All,
I just installed this unit. ( sorry, will not allow me to post link)
Android9 13.6" Tesla style Car No DVD Player GPS Navigation For Ford Mondeo Fusion MK5 2017+ radio tape recorder multimedia unit
There is a setting for Speed+ Rotation. which does not seem to work, I have tried several possibilities but can't get it to work. I am of the understanding the the OBD Plug is connected to the ECU under the dash. There are only 2 pins on the plug from the Head unit. Is there an additional setting or perhaps i'm missing something.
having trouble connecting the Bluetooth to car
Keep giving me " no compatible device was found " in the car side and "connection time out" the Android side
Car is Mercedes GL 2013
Android 10 head unit from China

Not Android Auto, requested move to Android head units forum.
You might find out what unit you have and search for topics from the MCU version of the head unit.

You can´t connect to the car BT-Device.
There is only the possibility to connect to a phone with activated BT on it.

Thank you,
a bit strange ! I wanted to transfer the audio to the car through Bluetooth instead of the AUX cable
Any software modification possible?

No, BT is not possible to modify.
You just can connect to OBD devices (some at least) and phones.
I could not even connect to OBD devices.. tried two OBD devices !
I managed to connect my phone only

You need to delete all connections on the radio and the connection to the unit on your phone.
After that has been done, reboot phone and deactivate BT on your phone.
Reboot the head unit and first of all, bond the OBD device. Take care that the pin code is set correctly on your unit. It´s almost 0000 or 1234.
When you finished bonding your OBD, connect your phone.
It works only in this order.

Thanks for the answer , yet I tried it and did not work too
Hi,
I just got my Android Head Unit installed in my car with Zlink to use Carplay. I am an experienced computer and iPhone user but have never worked with Android or an Android Head Unit. Can I and if so how do I connect a second iPhone to Zlink and Carplay?
only one device can be displayed

I know that because I have Carplay in my other car. But both I and my wife use this car and I can't find where/how to connect her phone too? When Carplay opens there are no such options so it must be in Zlink somehow?
that is in the iphone carplay settings and the radio automatically connects to the last paired device
I understand that but where do I add the second phone? Shall I turn mine off and let Zlink look for a new phone?
I have a problem that people can barely hear me on the phone. The Carplay volume was also very low but that I managed to fix with Siri talking and at the same time increase the volume on the steering wheel. Also it takes a very long time before Zlink / Carplay starts when starting the car. The guy I bought it from asked me to reset the unit.
First time I used it I connected wifi in Zlink but now on a video i saw the guy connected hot spot in Android. Which way should I use now after resetting the unit?
And thanks for your help!
you = I understand that, but where do I add the second phone? Do I turn mine off and let Zlink search for a new phone?
=yes, cancel your pairing and let the second phone connect
Ok got it. Can I make other settings in Zlink by opening the app?
not much
You forgot to tell me where I should connect my wifi? To Android system as hot spot or in Zlink option? My unit has a SIM card installed if that makes any difference?
The Bluetooth as I understand I will connect on OEM phone app?
carplay works with wifi and bluethoo transmission the sim is only to give internet to the android system (google maps etc) not for carplay actually carplay is on your mobile and mirrors your radio
the rest already in google

So I should connect both Bluetooth and wifi to Zlink / Carplay?
I don't remember any option to connect BT on Zlink?
I found out today that people can't hear me using Carplay phone because the Android unit uses a built-in microphone on the screen and not Mercedes OEM.
Is this normal?
