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.

Ratings and reviews

some settings can't be adjusted. it's utilizing a volume adjustment as your vehicle speed increases, which I can't find out how to disable. I never asked for it, nor desired it. it's way too strong, so I'm now constantly adjusting the car volume to offset, which gets annoying map can't be zoomed spotify has extremely limited utility, can't pick anything else other than what's already playing. but it might just be enough to avoid upgrading my head unit, and may be useful on a motorcycle.

Overall good, but I wish there was a way to lock it into landscape mode in local server mode. If I launch it is landscape mode while the phone is in portrait mode the dpi gets screwed up and the icons don't appear. I then have to force close the app and relaunch while the phone is in landscape orientation to get things to work. If that was fixed it would be a great replacement for an android auto head unit.

I gave it 2 starts because while it worked it was good. It worked well for the first 30 days. It's been months now, and it's still not working. Un-installed and reinstalled, I dont know how many times. Will not work. Updated both phone and tablet (both samsung and under 3 years old) with fresh installs of HUR and recommended helper apps. Nothing, just error messages, or the app just crashes. It worked well until I was unable to request a refund from google. Save the wasted time and money.
