Ive just installed tasker as this is exactly what i need automarically with the hotspot that annoying just turns off and on at times... ill provide feedback soon once i get in my car. CHEERS!
Thanks for the video/info !! Does anyone know what happens with a Chinese Headunit that has ZLink already on it? Does that need to be removed (unistalled) or something, to use Headunit Reloaded instead? Thanks.
hi there, if it has zlink pre-installed that is much better than headunit reloaded. do not swap them. devin is just saying it as a substitue if you dont have zlink. zlink is the preffered app rather than others. thats why it comes preinstalled with that rather than any other one. hope you understand. thanks
@@fathimafaiz1666 Thanks a lot for that information! Is Z-link a paid for app that they just so happen to include in their head unit price (or they pirate it). I have another Chinese head unit that has NO linking app in it at all. Just the plain Android Bluetooth and WiFi, so you need to hotspot it manually for internet access.
Great video! I like when someone explains the steps. Those with music are a pain! I am having big time problems getting my unit to work as I wish so hopefully your advice helps. I did not know about Google Play Store Subscription either. I subscribed and liked.
@DavidMosby you should try using it. It is called Mode & Routines. My Driving Mode settings: When connected to Car Bluetooth, turn off Data Saver, turn off WiFi, turn on 5G, then turn on Mobile Hotspot. What is best about it is they will return to the original state after disconnecting from my car Bluetooth. I always feel so sad that the Samsung users are not using Modes and Routines. I rely heavily on Tasker, but Modes & Routines does a lot that Tasker can't.
Hi there, a good simple tutorial to follow through thanks very much man. Do you mind telling me the brand name of this head unit and specs my uncle has almost the same unit but he is that kind of a person who is hard to approach, thanks in advance.
@AussieInvestigator it allows the built in Google apps to function. Remember there's two types of apps this Android auto and then there's the Google apps. Android Auto Works through your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi together but if you do not go into Android auto the Wi-Fi will work to use apps such as TH-cam and Netflix and everything else that's you don't get with Android auto. Of course you could always use a SIM card if you don't want to use your phone's hotspot and that works fine too that allows you to use both all the built-in functions as well as the Android auto Apple carplay functions at the same time back and forth. Without the SIM card the transition from Apple carplay to the head units Google functions will not be seamless. It's either one or the other
Question on the Tasker app you mentioned in your video. Does it work between the iPhone and Android head unit? I was told it only works on Android devices.
Tasker is an Android only app. What exactly are you trying to accomplish with your iPhone? Apple has its own app "Shortcuts" that may be helpful depending on your needs.
Hi i have the same double din. Does your double din come with bootlogos pre installed or did it also ask you to import files. Because i have no idea how to import the files for the start up logo. If you can please asisst
I need software from that multimedia because mine broke. I removed the battery and since then it doesn't work anymore. Is there any help?model zxdz,android version 8.1.0 kernel 3.18.79+
To manually start HUR like in your video for me it's not working. With a hotspot connection and AA server enabled touching the wireless button on the HUR UI does nothing. Only using Wifi Launcher app I can get wireless AA with HUR working. So, were is the trick in your video?
Will this work on a regular android tablet that I'm trying to make an "android auto" display in my car? I feel like a lot of us are here to do this. Thanks
I cannot do it either I bought a used car and they replaced the stereo with a boss touch screen I basically have only been able to connect via Bluetooth and play songs on my phone but it doesn't show on the car screen, but I can see it has android auto and apple iplay but it's greyed out I can't touch it but on my phone I have it and my tablet but it doesn't pair with the car so I can have my phone on the screen, idk what I'm doing wrong, not to mention I bought it private and the didn't install the USB so I usually connect wireless which is already on my phone. What am I doing wrong ,do I have to use hotspot on the car as well?? Cause it's already on my car all I have to do is hit the device button and press my phone but it doesn't show anything on my car stereo screen!!!
@@zoraidasousa2072 Your Boss headunit may not actually be an "Android Headunit". It might have it's own software so this video might not help. I'd suggest trying to figure out what model you have by comparing it to other headunits online, such as Amazon. That way you can see if it actually has wireless capability.
@@AutoJourney It shows up on my phone and I try to press it, on the unit in my car it says android and apple but they are greyed out so idk what to do also the person I bought the car from didn't even finish setting it up,I have the USB cord that they didn't install I can Bluetooth my android or iphone and listen to music they have the amps and the bass speaker installed but they didn't install the backup camera, so everytime I backup it say plug in camera which they didn't give also afterwards I noticed there's no antenna so no radio reception I tried different antennas but non got reception it sucks wish I knew this all before, there's no book for car or upgraded system.
@karambirrandhawa6834 in option in the unit when using android auto there's a part that says switch to night mode.. it's in android auto in the settings
You should be able to set the default launcher in settings. Possibly under "Home Screen" or "Default Apps" and then "Home app". When I set up Nova Launcher and pressed home for the first time it gave me the option to select a default.
hi i purchase the app and i try wired method but when i plug the type c cable into my Samsung a34 (android 14) the phone shows that android auto is connected and headunit reloaded recognize the phone in usb settings but nothing happens its stays on HUR screen : (( please help
you have to set tasker to the 'basic mode', tasky.. then search from there. popped right up. if you've already tapped into the 'advanced mode', the 3 dots upper right menu has the option to switch to tasky.
this is absolute bulcrap. it didnt activate my hotspot when i turned the car on. litterally the only thing i need it to do. And your method doesnt work for my head unit. im so annoyed i spent money on an app that does nothing
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT use Android Auto on these headunits IF YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE PHONECALLS while driving. The way the mic is setup is absolutely horrible and you will only give headaches to the people on the other side of the line!!! If you arn't going to make phonecalls, go ahead and use it, it's awesome!
After months of using headunit reloaded my phone has just notified me that it's infected with a virus. Strong threat and urgent removal recommended. Huawei Mate 20 Pro device with latest android and security patches.

This is a very generic android headunit. Similar to anything you'll find on Amazon under "Android Double Din Car Stereo 7 Inch ". This one had 1GB of ram and 16GB of storage. Not great.

Worked a treat! Now i just need wifi turning on at the same time as hotspot? Is that possible with a routine too?
You can't use WiFi while hotspot is turned on I believe @@rqn1998

if you use a samsung phone bixby routines should be easier to set than tasker
I have Samsung but have not messed with Bixby. I will give it a look.

If you have a Samsung phone you don't need Tasker to turn on Hotspot, just add it to your Routines
True! 👍

It should work 👍
My issue is that Andriod 13 was dumped by my cheap Amazon head unit. It looks like it wants to boot up, but never gets past the Andriod 13 logo.
Is that an iMars?
what about FM radio and stuff?
I was told by my installer I can't use my FM radio at the same time as GPS. He said to install Iheart app and then use my favorite channels.
Is the app made by B3IT or AAWIRELESS?
Does wolf launcher work on this?
PLEASE HELP! STUCK ON BOOT LOGO IT WILL NOT LET ME GET PAST THE LOAD ITS STUCK IN A LOOP I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO

Will apple CarPlay work?
No only for Android

Does it work with apple carolay as well????
No, just Android Auto.

You should be able to request a refund through the Google Play store.
Wow
you did not upgrade your head unit. All you did was install a skin that just sits on top of the original install.
The upgrade is adding wireless android auto 😂
