Headunit Reloaded Emulator HUR

About this app

Headunit Receiver emulator for Android Auto.

How to use the app?

USB Mode

• Plug in the USB to your device (in case of tablet use an OTG cable), when prompted make sure you allow HUR to be the default app for the action and you check the always box.


• If you are running the app on a device with Android 7.0 or higher, you might need to pull down the notification bar and select the connected USB device before the app starts (this is device dependent)

Wifi

• Install WiFi Launcher app on the phone!
• In WiFi Launcher select the cars BT, so app starts automatically
• Enable hotspot option in WiFi Launcher, connect your car's unit to the phones hotspot and open HeadUnit Reloaded (you can reverse the hotspot / client roles as well if you wish)

Self Mode (when Android Auto and HUR are running on the same device)
- Open HUR and press Self-mode (make sure you have Android Auto installed on the device you are trying to achieve this)


FAQ / Troubleshoot

All I get is a black screen
- If you are using an Android powered headunit (Joying, Xtrons, etc) look for a setting on your device which allows Video Playback during drive
- Try changing HUR settings and enable Software decoding


Compatible with: Joying, Eonon, Grom Vline, Xtrons, PX5 and PX3 units, A-Sure, RK3188 units, RK3066 units, Avin and other Android powered head units.

The original idea was developed by the late MICHAEL READ.

Ratings and reviews

App works well for me and developer notes are thorough. For sure works well on cable. Had a hard time sorting why phone calls wouldn't go through stereo until I toggled off the 'Enable audio sink' setting. This setting will utilize phone wired to stereo Aux. For my 98 4runner I use a Galaxy S9+ and a 2013 7" Samsung Tab 3 tablet. I purchased micro usb to usb c elbow, usb c to dual usb a, mount, and a 40W dual usb c charge power for cig lighter. Everything charges and works well. Well done app!

installed a S9008P Android HU and didn't want to use the Zlink. I don't want a non-Google play app on my phone. I know the head unit has their various apps, but lets keep them there. HRU took some fiddling, glad I can do custom dpi and orientations. I had to read up on their FAQs to determine the connection modes. I'm using their WiFi Launcher app my S23FE start Hotspot mode when the Bluetooth connection is made. Starts at the click of the icon.

Pontential is there but...needs some work. I downloaded the trial & almost immediately purchased the full version. However, after about 30 min, starting getting connect errors. At one point had to manually reset head unit (Android 8.1). Rebooted phone and reinstalled, app same result. Emailed screen shots. Pixel XL, 9.0 Potential is great!

What's new

- Changed WiFi connection mode
- Fixed at least on USB connection bug
- Reverted to separate Activity for playback, fragments caused black screen after reverse on some devices
- Added option for AAC audio instead of PCM (helps with slow wifi connections)
