Thanks to all who submitted the data.

If you haven't yet, please do, I'm accepting submissions indefinitely and this may help debugging the SDK and apps.

I got reports for Audi, VW, Seat, Opel, Hyundai, Suzuki and Mercedes. I'd like to share some interesting information gathered.

All VW Group branded cars support low-level access (telemetry, media control, HVAC) via vendor channel

Sadly no other brands do

All cars support the following sensors: SENSOR_TYPE_DRIVING_STATUS, SENSOR_TYPE_NIGHT_DATA, SENSOR_TYPE_CAR_SPEED

All units with navigation support seem to pass GPS data: SENSOR_TYPE_LOCATION and most also SENSOR_TYPE_GPS. I suppose Android Auto automatically feeds this data to Android location providers, so that nothing special must developers do to use it.

For various cars the following keycodes are listed (which does not imply they work):

Code:

"keycodesSupported": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 84, 85, 87, 88, 126, 127, 65536, 65537, 65538, 65540], "keycodesSupported": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 108, 109, 110, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 164, 222, 65535, 65536, 65537, 65538, 65539, 65540], "keycodesSupported": [5, 84, 85, 87, 88, 126, 127, 209, 65537, 65538, 65540], "keycodesSupported": [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 28, 66, 67, 80, 81, 82, 84, 87, 88, 91, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 65536, 65537, 65538, 65540], "keycodesSupported": [4, 5, 6, 84, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 126, 127, 65537, 65538, 65540], "keycodesSupported": [3, 4, 5, 6, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 82, 84, 85, 87, 88, 91, 126, 127, 209, 65537, 65538, 65539, 65540], "keycodesSupported": [4, 66, 84, 87, 88, 126, 127, 65536, 65537, 65538, 65540], "keycodesSupported": [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 84, 85, 87, 88, 126, 127, 65536, 65537, 65538, 65540],

I noticed Ford has an app too, which is only usable on the new Ford GT. It's called Ford Performance. Maybe it could be helpful like the Seat app was.

GG !! Amazing work.. :good::good:
Since you already revered engineered Waze, Do you know if is it possible to add Waze search more keyboard languages except English ?

Thanks.

ktwo · Jan 6, 2018

It's not a full reverse engineering obviously check out the aauto-sdk repo and try to understand what it does. It basically strips the classes from the apk and bundles them into a re-usable *.aar file. It's not like it would be possible to recompile waze

I would ask the waze forum for that.

I don't know, as I looked at only a small part of Waze.

That's a nice finding.
Looking at it, I can confirm that it also uses AA vendor extensions channel, but it's not Exlap inside, probably something based on Protocol Buffers.
Added a note to SDK's README.

It still needs work, much to improve, but shows that a lot is possible. Even youtube is working

But please don't browse while driving

Sorry is possibile to solved a bug of this your app?
https://github.com/nerone-github/AAutoLauncher/tree/master/apk

Most of them aren't available on all cars. I'll add the useful ones (tire pressures and such) to the "MQB stats" app in the future, and make them selectable through the settings dialog, so people can select what data they want to see on their screen (and remove data which isn't available).

Also, did I already tell you this SDK is awesome?

Any chance of sharing the stats app? I don't know how to compile it by myself, but I would gladly test it on a Skoda.
@martoreto
I ran the log diagnostic app on a Skoda Octavia 3 my2016 with bolero MIB2 headunit, and the app hang at connecting, while the headunit displayed a message to check the phone.

Hi @ktwo,

Great App! After using it for some days (when parked my car!), I want to comment these suggestions:

- Please add the option for executing (also) the full APP in the phone screen (more or less that is doing the "Youtube Auto App"). The reason is this: I want to view this page: "https://newsstand.google.com/", and I can't LOGIN on it as the keyboard can't be used for insert the password. I suggest you check this page and try to execute it in your car.

- The second suggestion it's add the option for change the order of the bookmarks. Futhermore, also for change the home bookmark (why set it to DuckDuckGo ?). You agree?

- The third comment it's related to the SCROLL and the WHEEL. The HU in my car has a right selection whell. It can be used with Android Auto for go over lists. This wheel is mapped as regular: right == more; left == less. However, when using it for scroll in your App the "right" is mapped as "scroll up", and "left" to "scroll down". And this is annoying, as the natural scroll is right->down, left->up. Please, can you change this behaviour or include a config option for selecting the order?

Thank you for this App! :good:

Hi, i will create github issues for the problems, but i prefer not having to use the phone for anything, i'd rather would improve the actual input on the car view. I did not map anything as for the wheel. On my car it works correctly xD - If you know how to change feel free to post on github how

OK. Then please, try to improve the keyboard. You tryed the URL of the Google Kiosk?

ktwo said:

My car is a VAG MY16, and with AA Google Maps the wheel has: right->zoom in; left->zoom out. It's the same in your car? You tested the wheel with your App showing the Wikipedia?

ktwo said:

I don't know it. However, I'll try for found it.

Another comment: Please, can you add support for the "PROXIMITY SENSOR"? In my car when I put the hand close to the screen (in the HU interface) some buttons change to a more bigger form. Then, I suggest if you can use this event for dynamically change the size of the upper button of your interface. At time it's quite hard to put over them as the size it's very small.

Regards!

I have just added a way to type URL and text from the phone. This should help for now until the keyboard is improved.

I'm almost done with the first version of an extended stats apps, based on martoretos code. It will have a Skoda theme as well.

Hi,

Installed! I'll check tomorrow. I suspect that "Send text" it's for inserting a text in a "TextBox", right?
