About this app

Headunit Revived: The Ultimate Android Auto Emulator for your Tablet! Breathe new life into your Android tablet or car headunit by transforming it into a fully functional, modern infotainment system. Headunit Revived allows you to experience Android Auto on almost any Android device—whether via USB, wirelessly, or using the innovative Self-Mode. This project is an open-source revival of the original "Headunit" app by Mike Reid, modernized with the latest technologies and a sleek Material 3 interface. NEW IN VERSION 2.0: * Native Wi-Fi Direct (P2P) Support: Connect your phone wirelessly to your tablet without needing a manual hotspot. Connection establishment is fully automated in the background. * Auto-Optimization Wizard: Tired of technical guesswork? Our new setup wizard scans your hardware and automatically recommends the best Resolution, DPI, and Codec for maximum stability. * Advanced Screen Modes: Choose between "Immersive" (all bars hidden), "Hide Status Bar Only" (keeps navigation bar visible), or Standard mode. Ideal for devices where hardware buttons were previously obscured. * Compatibility Fix for AA 16.4+: Full support for the latest Android Auto updates on your smartphone. Key Features at a Glance: 🚀 Flexible Connectivity * USB: Plug & Play. Supports stable connections via USB-OTG. * Wireless (NSD): Automatically detects your phone on the same Wi-Fi network. * Wi-Fi Direct: The most modern way to connect wirelessly—no shared network required. * Self-Mode: Run Android Auto directly on your phone (local simulation), ideal for large displays or testing purposes. 🎥 High-Performance Video * Supports H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) hardware decoding. * Crystal-clear projection up to 1080p and 1440p (on supported hardware). * Adjustable FPS (30/60) for smooth navigation and menus. 🎨 Modern Design & Customization * Material 3 UI: A clean, intuitive interface that fits perfectly into modern Android systems. * Individual DPI Scaling: Determine exactly how large icons and text should appear. * Day/Night Mode: Automatic switching based on time, sunset, or your tablet's light sensor. 🔊 Crystal Clear Sound & Control * Audio Gain Offsets: Adjust the volume for music, navigation prompts, and voice assistant separately (0% to 200%). * Media Session Integration: Control your music using steering wheel buttons or external controllers. * Microphone Support: Use "Hey Google" voice commands directly via your tablet's microphone. 🛠 System Integration for Pro Users * App Shortcuts: Start or stop connections directly from your homescreen or automation apps (Tasker, MacroDroid). * Navigation Provider: Officially registered as a system navigation app (improves integration with third-party car launchers). How to use: 1. Install Headunit Revived on your Android tablet/headunit. 2. USB: Connect your phone via cable, grant permissions, and enjoy Android Auto. 3. Wireless: We recommend our free companion app "Wireless Helper" on your smartphone for a fully automated connection via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Direct.
