...in my Lexus ES350. That's why I tried to explain to the Apple Support specialists that both cars have the same issue and that using the same phone would point to a phone problem. Apparently, that was too much common sense for Apple Support, as Verizon support got it right away and sent me a...
Sorry for the late response. The issue was the phone the whole time. After dicking around with Apple support for close to a month, I finally called Verizon support. After hearing all the fixes Apple suggested that didn't work, the specialist said he'd replace the phone at no cost. They...
...screen mirroring.
I believe the same goes for CarPlay, too.
I might still add it as a feature, though, with a warning that it works best with slower temperature gauges .
I still think it's better to just use the app on the phone with a phone mount. That's what I had in mind from the start...
...system only supports Miracast for screen mirroring. That's fine if you have a compatible Samsung, LG, Sony, Huawei, Xiaomi or OnePlus phone.
Unfortunately, Pixel users are out of luck, since Pixel phones only support Google Cast, which the infotainment system doesn't support. I use a Pixel 8...
Any OBD ENET Wi-Fi adapter should work, including MHD Black/Red, Bootmod3, Thor, xHP, etc., as long as it supports ENET communication. The app supports both Wi-Fi and wired connections.
As for the phone mount, I'm just using a cheap generic one I bought on AliExpress years ago.
...bugs to address. But maybe 25% of the time AA won't load (stuck on connecting) when I start it for the first time (eg. get in car, start, let phone connect). It always works after a 'restart' of AA on the headunit. Phone side says it's connected to car so feels like it's on the headunit side...
How'd you get the box to work? @mack73 I connected it via USB to the car but when I try to add a new device (carplay or phone) it just sits there lol. Nothing happens when trying to add a new phone or CarPlay device
Any phone app without an external GPS connected is going to be low resolution compared, as the phone GPS is 1hz vs 10hz+ of an external GPS device. Years back I did a back to back with Harry's with and without external GPS.
External GPS used (Dual Electronics XGPS160) for the right side:
Yeah please send the logs over in DMs if you can. It might be that the renderer service isn't coming up immediately. It's on a 60~ second wait timer if it's not up when AA is started.
...used the automated installer from Turbocode for the install. https://turbocode.shop/nbt-evo-android-auto/
I did need to remove/re-pair my phone. Make sure you have the phone unlocked when it connects to AA the first time so you can accept the messages.
But if it goes wrong, use the...
Please post a video of what is happening when you attempt to start the car.
Please try using a laptop/enet cable and the BM3 software to flash your car instead of the wifi adapter and your phone.

I had to delete my phones off the car. Plug it in. Go into the car menu to add a mobile device with car play, saw it after 10 minutes on my phone Bluetooth, apple pie I think....then click on apple pie on my phone Bluetooth, then the Supra popped up....super complicated but it worked
Going off memory as I'm away from the car but basic steps are
1. Unpair/delete your phone from the head unit
2. Make sure your phone isn't connected to anything Bluetooth
3. Plug the box into car and wait 2 mins
4. Go into communication, then add device, select Carplay
5. Wait. Eventually a...
Let us know how it is with spirited driving / if it holds up! As a Samsung Fold user there's so few phone mounts that work for me even years after the fold came out.

I can not confirm this yet, waiting for my spare phone to charge, but looks to be an AIO for the activation of aa, just need an enet.
