Other important notes:
Software Decoding
- Based on the feedback although it works, I'm not recommending this app for those with Joying or any other Rockchip (RK3188, RK3066) powered headunit. Feel free to use the trial and decide yourself, but it appears to be painfully slow on those devices.
To exit the app
If you are connected with USB, just unplug the USB cable, DO NOT use the exit from the menu. If you are running Wifi, Wifi Direct or Self mode, ALWAYS use the exit button from the left drawer menu!
Audio transport option
Will forward (sink) all the audio from the phone to the tablet if enabled, EXCEPT phone call audio, that will go trough the phone speakers or Bluetooth Handsfree if connected. If you wish to stream all the audio from the phone directly to your A2DP bluetooth, then simply disable the Transport Audio option.
Day/Night toggle
The device running the Headunit Reloaded app will be responsible for changing the theme. You can chose between using the light sensor of the device to toggle between day and night mode, or you can use calculated sunset sunrise mode, or even force it to one theme only. If you have previously installed AA Helper to your phone, please uninstall it!
Auto Start on Wifi
This option will launch HUR whenever you are connected to a Wifi (specific Wifi can be named)
Auto increase volume on speed
The logic behind is a very simple approach, every time the speed increases it will send a vol + key to the phone and every time the speed decrease it will send a vol - to the phone. This requires the device running HUR to have a GPS receiver.
The app is published under GPLv3 Affero license and the source code can be found: https://github.com/borconi/headunit/

Works well with an odroid xu4 and nexus 6 via usb. Instantly connects and plays when plugged in. WiFi connection, however, is a bit touchy and I couldn't get self mode to work at all. When connected, there was no noticeable lag and functions like maps and Spotify worked perfectly. Thanks!

It's only 3 mins trial and I didn't even get the test of Android auto on my Nexus 7 yet and it's gone already. Maybe 1 or 2 hours trial let me get the feel of it and I might consider buying $8 full version.

Any intention to make this compatible with the RK3188 units? I'm willing to pay for the pro version if you have a road map. Thanks

I cannot believe the author expects people to pay $7.50-10 for this app. First, it seems like a junior hacker's attempt to port a genuine google app to work on tablets, but not very successfully. I have tried several similar apps which work, this is a very poor version of Android Auto. First, streaming music does not work, it studders and freezes even though the host has 60Mbps data. The calling tab does not function and says it must be connected to bluetooth, even when connected by wifi or cable. Navigation is very slow and cause connected device to fail.
