First prepare the phones

Before starting work, pair two Android phones with each other via Bluetooth. Then turn on Hotspot on the phone you will convert to the Android Auto screen and connect your main phone to this Wi-Fi network.

Required apps

To the old phone you will use as the Android Auto screen:

• Install Headunit Reloaded Emulator HUR.

To your main phone:

• Install the WiFi Launcher app.

Thanks to these two applications, phones can communicate with each other automatically and Android Auto connection can be established wirelessly. However, if you will only connect with the cable, you do not need the WiFi Launcher application.

Headunit Reloaded settings

When you first connect your phone, you may not be able to get a stable view.

After opening the application, enter the Settings section. Then switch to Graphics settings.

You can make general settings from this section. You can edit all settings related to icon overflow, alignment, colors, in short, the view, from this section.

If you experience lag, black screen or performance problems, you can get a more stable experience by lowering the Pixel Density value.
