damn, got super excited lol[MENTION=30139]nancy[/MENTION] I set it up to be wireless via tethering/hotspot
[MENTION=23177]5pointOh[/MENTION] capacitive, no hard jabbing at the screen to get it to respond at all, I've had a few missed touches here and there, but I attribute that to my finger being off due to the reach instead of it being inaccurate
well android auto actually uses the processing power of the phone, and I dont believe that is supported via wifi/bluetooth yet. Just wondering for those long drives or to save some battery on my phone, most of the time i will probably go wireless as well, but just wondering what the capabilities are.The app I used for Android Auto is supposed to support USB connection too, but I prefer the wireless aspect instead because most of my drives are 5-15 minutes and I don't want to be plugging in all the time (wear on the USB port of my phone, ugly cable sitting in the car). I could give it a try later if I get some time, but that's not my ideal use case.
This morning (~9 hours left alone) it booted right up and backup cam was ready immediately. My normal morning routine to go to work is to remote start the car about 30 seconds before I leave, walk out, finish starting car, instantly back up, and drive off.
We will see, I havent installed it yet(still waiting on some parts) but I do like having native android as the OS instead of having to use car-play or AA.Haha, can't make that decision for you since Sync 3 is factory level equipment, but you'd probably make a bit of money swapping to this one.
thanks for the reviews and info! i like that launcher which one is it? can you change whats in the center circle area, for instance a maps window or something like that?Threw on another launcher to see how it worked, here's a peak at that with the live visualizer.
O okay, i will have to check out the app and see how it works.Android Auto is going through an app called Headunit Reloaded, the dev figured out how to get it to work via WiFi. You can still plug the phone in to charge, just haven't tried via USB only.
I remote started the car and I don't think it's drawing power that whole time (how would it? It uses stock connections for power).
Very nice. Was wondering if the default screen / launcher could be changed. I dislike the sync3 type.Threw on another launcher to see how it worked, here's a peak at that with the live visualizer.
