Thanks for your comments 👍. Much appreciated!

@Frank, thank you. Try setting startup apps from permissions in settings to automatically launch HUR when the system turns on. If that doesn't work, download "car launcher" or "automate" and select HUR as startup app.

@@nh-tech Awesome. I will give that a try. Thank you..

I use the "car launcher" app by apps lab studio. The free version on playstore is good enough. I don't think you'll want your headunit to always have a hotspot on because it will drain your battery. If you're using the updated version of headunit reloaded, you can use your phone's Hotspot instead

😂😂😂

It mostly connects automatically. There are a few times you'll have to open the app on your phone to connect

Nevermind a comment below had similar issue, it was the connection happening before the launcher

It's supposed to connect automatically once it detects and connects to the headunit's hotspot

No. It's a one-time purchase, to the best of my knowledge.

@nh-tech thank you and have a wonderful day 🍕👍

yes, it only works on android headunits with wifi

@@nh-tech So the title of the video "ANY aftermarket android head unit" is a lie.

Sorry to hear that it doesn't work on every android headunit. I tested with different headunits running android and have wifi.

I have a question I see a unit with TS9 processor without Carplay and Android Auto for 80 dollars. And then there is a version with wireless Carplay and Android Auto for 110. Do you think it's worth paying the extra? Or one can do it themselves? Is the method in preloaded android head units with AndroidAuto by the, better than this method? I use Android Phone. My concern is whether after any small update the feature will get broken anyway even if I get 110 dollar version of it.

I think it's better to pay the extra for the preloaded version because even if the preloaded AA fails at some point, you have this method to fall back on. Again, in case someone with an iPhone borrowed your car at some point, they can also use carplay. But check the reviews of the product first to make sure it really has wireless AA and Carplay.

I suggest you check the android auto settings on your phone. Some of those things can be manipulated there.

You should tap on the phone to select it when it shows up in the USB settings. Try that, and if it doesn't work, I'll look into the issue

@@nh-tech thanks for reply I try but it doesn't work, not projecting AA into my headunit its stays on HU-reloaded screen I think they messed something in the latest update Android 14

​@@nh-techit works wirelessly with wifi launcher but its a little laggy on navigation i cannot make it work on usb idk why maybe I'll try different cables : (

I'll check that and get back

I think that's because of the new update to the software. I will make an updated video on the new format change. If you could download the apk for previous versions and install it, that would work.

The app to be installed on the car unit is Headunit reloaded and can be downloaded from the Playstore. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gb.xxy.hr

@@nh-tech This seems to be paid one.Can you recommend any Android apps which is free to download

For now, this is the only app I know that can give you wireless android auto on your headunit. You can check websites like apk4all.io and download the mod apk version for free.

Yes, either from the phone or from the unit

I explained at the end of the video to enable "mobile data only apps" in connection settings and turn on the navigation apps

Quite strange. I'm not sure what's going on with it, but under normal circumstances, once your phone connects to the car's Bluetooth. How about closing wifi launcher and removing it from recent apps, and restarting the app? Or perhaps restart the phone?

@@nh-tech so you thinkni should delete the app the install again

And I don't have it connected to the car bluetooth

No. You don't have to uninstall the app. You should just close it and clear your recent apps. Betterstill, you can achieve a similar result by restarting your phone

​@NH-Tech where do I get head unit reloaded

Yes, but a small one-time payment.

You can get a hacked free version

Hi Jamil, Sometimes, you may need to restart your apps after setting everything up. The Hotspot is only on the headunit and you have to connect the phone's wifi to it. Then the WiFi launcher app connects the phone to the headunit once it's in the listening mode. If you're connected to the wifi and it's not working, look for "advanced" at the bottom in the Wifi launcher app>enable >"add force connect button">pull down notifications >stop wifi launcher>reopen the wifi launcher, and it should connect, if not, draw down notifications and tap on "force connect".

@@nh-tech Thank you for such a prompt reply and a detailed answer. I shall try that tomorrow and will let you know how I get on. Happy New Year my friend

Thank you, Jamil, and happy new year to you as well. Fingers crossed on how it goes!

Yes, you do. But I believe most newish android phones come with AA

No, you only have to activate the Hotspot on the headunit and connect the phone to it

@nh-tech ok I just tried it and do have to do this every time in the car?

No. Set wifi launcher app on the phone to open once you connect to the car's Bluetooth. This will automatically turn on the Hotspot on your headunit and connect the phone to it once you're connected to the car's Bluetooth

@@nh-tech how do I do that

Open wifi launcher on your phone, under Bluetooth, tap on "select on which Bluetooth devices to start this app", and choose your car's Bluetooth from the list.

The app has been updated, but it still works. I'll make another video on the new changes next week.

​@@nh-tech Thanks for your reply. I just purchased the HUR to run AA on my Atoto S8 HU and am using a Moto 5g one Ace phone and for the life of me I can't get to work.

I guess it's the new update. I'll work on the update and let you know.

@@nh-tech I finally got it working! This new version is different then from your video.

@TallStarlite Awesome 👌. I'll upload a video for the update

How it is then

Okay. How?

Try clearing the app data (long press app->select details->storage->clear data). If it's still crashing, it might be headunit incompatibility or a conflicting app, or permissions may not have been granted.

Sorry to hear that. I will look into it and see if there is a workaround. Which version of android is your headunit running?

​@@nh-techooooopsss my bad... I am mistaken. Headunit reloaded has to be downloaded in the headunit and not on the phone. Got it thankss

@Ajesh Mani, you don't have to install headunit reloaded on your phone. It should be installed on the android radio, which will most likely be android 11 or lower. The app you would need for the phone is "wifi launcher" and it's running fine on my android 13 phone. So try installing HUR on your stereo rather, and let me know how it goes. Cheers!

​@@nh-tech hi.. Just followed ur instructions.... But at the end Android Auto didn't show up. ... It keeps listening to network.. Pls help

@Ajesh Mani, if you followed all the instructions in the video and it's not working, close HUR on the radio and open it again, it should work. I'm going over the instructions: Download "wifi launcher" on your phone->create wifi Hotspot on your radio->connect your phone to the radio's Hotspot->open wifi launcher on phone->scroll to the bottom and tap on advanced options->enable force connect button->tap on start service manually->in your drop-down notifications, you'll see wifi launcher, expand it and tap on "force connect", while HUR is listening for incoming connections, and it should work. Once you get it to work the first time, it easily connects subsequently. Let me know how it goes.

I suppose you are using the updated version of the app, that's why.

@@nh-tech Which version should I use? Thanks

@nh-tech

Do you want to give an answer?
