Native Android Auto Development Thread

OK I was just trying to check against the requirements, is compatibility not a concern then? I saw there was one entry under the incompatible table.

So we're still not 100% sure on that guy - it seems like maybe HMI Apps wasn't coded properly from the factory? We honestly have no idea. Need like... Bimmerutility level visibility.

I saw this repo that has reverse engineering and they have a section of minting your own FSC code so it might just be a matter of coding it and supplying an FSC code.. i'll play around with it when I get a chance

Awesome work so far on this - hoping to borrow a friends enet cable on the weekend - currently have a wifi mhd dongle which im happy to try out. Got a New Zealand new supra which had apple carplay disabled from new but a few years back got it enabled by buying a service from ebay. I only ever use android phones so really keen to try out AA on my supra thanks heaps !

from what I've been told MHD & Others abstract direct access that's needed to open SSH and such. Maybe there's a way around it? I haven't dived into it since an enet cable is $15 at most.
For those that don't have Carplay, we have alternatives! The WiFi direct network is an option, and USB support exists under the latest branch.

Hi, not sure if i'm doing something wrong here but this is the error i get when i try to check SSH status on the nvt app. I am using enet dongle and it shows SSH enabled.

I currently have an mmi installed but wanted to test this out, as i miss the touchscreen and having details in HUD would be awesome. 24 Supra US.

I also tried Turbocode proxy with the same results, unfortunately. Please send help.

Plugged network cable into bottom of my MHD Black dongle into laptop and after disconnecting and reconnecting my wifi a couple times on my laptop during the process to get the software downloaded etc i can now say i have Android Auto running thanks so much for making this and big thanks to Turbocode for the easy to use installer.

Problems on my side:

2020 GR Supra (South Africa), NbtAad plugin never loads, no AA entry in Media/Radio

• Head unit is NBT EVO ID6 8.8", firmware NBTevo_T24081I (121181.3.210), no CarPlay
• HMI build is NBTEvo_ID5_2403_Release-ID5_2403-525-2403A-Build-1, process /opt/hmi/bin/zipped/HmiMain3D -c -ro -rw -sp -vp -cp -iba1 -iba2 -h -z
• Installed Installer tag v1.9.33-usbpr66 with NBT_ALT_WIFI=DIRECT, and the pf_aa firewall check passes
• Plugin is at /opt/hmi/ID5/data/ro/Plugins/NbtAad/ with the .so, manifest, xml and both zips. The Plugins folder didn't exist from the factory.
• After a reboot there's no AA menu entry, no app log, and nothing for NbtAad in sloginfo
• Stock apps live in PluginsCoded/ (ActiveSeating, SecurityMenu) and include .p12/.p7b signature files. hmiplugins/ only has A4APlugin and RemotingPlugin.

Does this HMI build need a different plugin path or registration, or signed plugins? I'm happy to run any diagnostics.

Strange, so it's not a regional variant issue as I've done another Supra in South Africa. If you have Bimmercode, can you check these values in the Head Unit:
REMOTE_HMI
A4A
A4A_Remote_Apps

Thanks! Checked in BimmerCode on the head unit: REMOTE_HMI = nicht_aktiv (0x00), A4A = nicht_aktiv (0x00), A4A_Remote_Apps = nicht_aktiv (Ox00). Should I set all three to aktiv (Ox01)? And on your other SA Supra, was REMOTE_HMI set to aktiv or restricted?
