Leider etwas enttäuschende Talk-Aufzeichnung über #AndroidAuto aus dem #HackerHotel (insbesondere weil der Ton der Fragen in der Q&A-Session nicht im Stream zu hören ist):
"Android Auto (Flitsmeister)"
https://media.ccc.de/v/2025-205-android-auto-flitsmeister-Die #HomeAssistant-Integration sollte ich mir mal genauer anschauen, vielleicht kann man darüber einen #Amateurfunk-#Transceiver über die #HeadUnit des Autos fernsteuern.
Ansonsten scheint Android Auto aus Sicherheitsgründen (Vermeidung von Ablenkung des Fahrers) so zugenagelt zu sein, dass #HamRadio-Anwendungen eher durch's Raster fallen, da nur offizielle App-Store-Apps die Android-Auto-Funktionen nutzen dürfen und dafür nur eine recht enge Liste an App-Typen zugelassen wird. Wobei man Funkgeräte-Fernsteuerung vielleicht noch als IoT verargumentieren kann...
Das Beste wäre, #Yaesu, #Kenwood, #Icom & Co würden sich des Themas mit offiziellen Apps annehmen um den veränderten Bedingungen in modernen Autos Rechnung zu tragen.

Pretty happy with it so far!
The audio is the same as the old unit, and now I don’t need to have my phone on a stand anymore as I can have both maps and music on the same screen and it looks cleaner.
Google Maps was a bit slow on the old unit, so I only used it to run music streaming and stuff, and had maps on my phone.

Swapped my car’s head unit this weekend. I was prepared so it took less than 4 hours this time!
First pic is the old one, it ran Android 8 and had physical buttons and a volume knob.
The new one just has wireless CarPlay & Android Auto (and radio) with no other OS.
Because it has no volume knob and I really like it, I got their wireless steering wheel control and stuck it on the dashboard, as it has a rotating volume wheel around the buttons 😂 -

Please help! I have a problem with my #pixel8 and #androidauto - car #headunit freezes after 5-20 minutes of driving. I’m trying to switch from #ios to #android and this is a #dealbreaker

Used radio: 45€ incl. shipping. Bluetooth aux receiver: 15€ incl. shipping. Remote still works, display works, CD playback works, Bluetooth music playback works, call quality is not great.
60€ for this vs. ~150€ for aftermarket unit and additional ~70€ for a steering wheel remote can bus adapter.

#electronics #CarRepair #carstereo any recommondations regarding a replacement radio that supports display and steering wheel remote for #renault #renaultscenic ?
This radio never saw a CD until now. Unsurprisingly, the mechanism to eject the CD is broken ( rattle noise and no movement). I'll disassemle the drive and check if I can fix it, but a modern #headunit that supports things like bluetooth would be great.

#Honda #Headunit #ReverseEngineering, And The Dismal State Of #Infotainment Systems
A dozen or so #ECU in a car are joined by an #infotainmentsystem of some type, which are typically a large #touchscreen on the #dashboard (the headunit) and possibly a couple of auxiliary units for the rear seats commonly run some version of #Android. In the 2021 Honda Civic, its headunit runs an archaic Android dating back to roughly 2012.

@PeteLittle1970 if you use a #headunit like #garmin or #hammerhead they'll do this for any lights your pair to them. Not sure about a physical remote as will need some way of pairing to all the lights
