dr_broon 1,822 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 The only way I could get the free trial version working was with a USB otg cable, but the full version works great on WiFi. I've had to set it up so that I manually start a hotspot on my phone, and start the android auto server on my phone as well, but hoping to automate that using an nfc tag in the car. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KiNK43 2,151 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I'll buy the full version then and have a play with it. As you say, doesn't work over wi-fi on the trial. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dr_broon 1,822 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 If your phones on a more recent version of android you need to do the manual hotspot thing as android doesn't let other apps change WiFi settings any more. You need to enable developer mode on android auto on your phone to be able to manually start the server. I haven't been able to get it to work automatically from detecting Bluetooth. There's a wiki on line with the guides on.

I'll have a look. Excellent timing as I currently have a hire van with Android auto and it's great isn't it!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dr_broon 1,822 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 Aye, I've used it in a couple of hire cars as well - it's pretty cool. One of the things that swung it was that the sat nav app I use works on it now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
