Hi all,
I am trying do a little project and effectively want to cast at least the screen (touchscreen response would be great) from a Raspberry Pi to a Kenwood car stereo, that accepts screen mirroring via WiFI.
Requirements:
Run on Raspberry Pi 4
Ability to cast to Kenwood HU
Automate connection to WiFi and cast
Ideally and Android ROM and not Linux
Any guidance you guys have of either doing this before, or what would work would be amazing.
Thanks

hey guys
dont know if anybody has explained that but its possible to create one remote for all (with most common used commands)
in my case i control my sagem iptv stb, onkyo av reciever and my samsung LE46C750
create a remote with manual adding comands and use the remote from device of ur needs
example
sagem remote for channel up,down,epg,...
onkyo remote volume up, down, sound modes,...
samsung only the menu, input and dvb input...
try it it works too with oldern devices, maybe some parents active here, the tablet is the ultimate parental control ^^
I think it's a good idea. Universal remote for basic commands then just register the device by itself for more complex commands.
Now we need a way to trick it to do macros. I'll need one icon tap that'll turn on my Sat receiver, amp, and TV, as well as sets them to the proper inputs for that activity. Another icon to tap for my BlueRay player, amp, and TV. Etc.. Until then my Logitech Harmony wins the Sofa award.

^ +1 agreed. Macros would make this unbeatable!
Hmmm... I used to have a 20 something dollar sony remote that was programmable for macros. I wonder if that eoyuld work in this case...although my hrmony app for google tv does the job just fine.
There will be an update coming for the remote software either later this year of beginning of next... In the mean time, to set up one universal remote you can just add a device, sect learn from remote, choose "other" then teach it controls from all your other devices and label the buttons what you like, takes time but saves switching between devices.
What if I send a all ready made "macro signal" from my logitech multi remote to the tablet for example the on/off button?
try it out!
I tried to send a macro command to the sony tablet from my harmony remote that should turn my tv on switch it to hdmi, turn on my popcorn hour and turn on my stereo. It recognised the command but only applied the first 2 steps.
So i think the tablet is able to learn macros but not on several devices.....

Hello all,
I'm after a little bit of guidance on how I might add Bluetooth support to an Android powered Car stereo. It is a "Road Veles" single DIN WinCE and Android device with a 7" flip out screen. The reason I bought this stereo is to run an app by the name of MSDroid. This app was to connect to my vehicle's engine management system via Bluetooth.
Can't post links yet, easy search on Google for Road Veles, look for hit on Chinavasion
The specs say it has Bluetooth, but having tested the device out on the work bench what the specs don't say is that the bluetooth is only accessible for handsfree from WinCE, there is no bluetooth for Android. WiFi via USB dongle works great. I have purchased but not yet received a combined WiFi and Bluetooth dongle. I would very much like to have this combined dongle work with the device. The Bluetooth control is not visible under WiFi control inside settings like it is in my Android phone.
Can anybody point me in the direction of where to start with this? Can I root the device and mod to add bluetooth? Is there another ROM I could run? I have done a lot of searching but can't see much at all out in internet land on this stereo!
Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance,
Arran
Hi, I'm not sure how these sort of things usually work, what sort of dollar value would usually be associated with making a some tweaks to an Android build? ...
Hi again, still looking into this. Any ideas how to tweak the Android 4.0.4 OS to make bluetooth appear inside the settings menu?
Hello XDA.... I have an Asteroid Smart installed in the fairing of my 2013 Harley Davidson CVO Road Glide. My fairing also has the option of placing an iPad mini in front of the double din to access all things Apple/iPad. The asteroid smart is controlled via handlebar controls through the paser unika utilizing the resistive protocols (that was custom too . The problem comes in when I have the ipad mounted infront of the asteroid. Obviously, I cant see the asteroid at this point, so I have to try to remember push button sequences on my handlebars to control media sources, playlists, etc. I also can't see the navigation app from the SMART. Before suggesting that I just use the iPad for navigation, I can't as I only have the wifi version of iPad that only has AGPS for location information, not an actual GPS chip in it, so it's not really useable for navigation. Further, I find that I don't really like controlling the asteroid w/out seeing feedback on the screen in front of me.
The ideal situation would be to have VNC remote control of the asteroid via the iPad. Actually any remote control of the asteroid via iPad would be great, but I haven't been able to find any remote control soltuion for an android device that is controllable from an iPad. Sure I can find them that will allow control of android from PC or Mac or Linux, but not controlled from another tablet.
Interestingly enough, In talking with VNC, they have a VNC Mobile Server SDK that would allow for this very type of functionality. It was designed for allowing remote control of android devices via double din head units. However, they don't release it to the general public. Only OEMs, automotive companies and tier 1 suppliers... ughhh... However, they did inform me that Parrot is a licensee of this technology. (I've posted this on the Parrot forum too, to see if they can help). Can anyone offer some insight or suggestions problem?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Everyone, I'm new here - just made an account because I cannot figure this problem out. I just started playing around with Xposed and I LOVE it by the way! but unfortunately that's not why I'm here. I have a Headrush bluetooth headset, it's great, has a built in mic, a2dp & works for calls even on a old ipod touch 4th gen for some reason though, my Lenovo a-5500f a8 ideatab running android 4.4.2 won't read the mic, I only have the media option, no call option.
I don't know what to do. there's like nothing at all on this, I read ONE forum that someone was experiencing my problem, and the only answer was that it's most likely because it's a WiFi tablet & wasn't meant to make phone calls on. I love my tablet & my headphones & would really be blown away if I could find a solution to this. I'm good with Linux & Windows, just learning Android stuff & it's really similar to Linux so it's not too far off, but I'm so clueless on this..
So an overview: my tablet won't detect the mic/phone call protocol for this headset, the headset works 100% on all other devices except for my new tablet.. I also have a few USB OTG's, is it possible I could perhaps run another bluetooth through a OTG? SixAxis works great, I can connect a controller, but not this mic..
any brainstorming to this helps, thank you.

Hi,
I'm building "accessory" box that allows me to add Carplay to my 2016 Audi A6 that has no carplay support. The build in infotainment has analog video in using Audi AMI connector. The plan is to use Raspberry Pi running LineageOS connected to infotainment video/audi in, and using CarLinkit usb-carplay dongle run Carplay in the Raspberry.
The center console controll knobs / buttons communicate the headunit via rs232 serial - and when the infotainment is on aux video mode, only the back button is in use. The plan is to use the stock controlls to conrol this monstrosity. So far i have connected my laptop in between to map the data each key press send ie: each click of the wheel to the left send "3#56" trough the serial.
Now the real question is, how i can use this to controll the android? So that each time the wheel turns to left it would be mapped as arrow key left in android?
Bump!
I'm literally wondering in the woods how / where I should start unraveling this... If this would be normal PC enviroment and i could use Python i would know how to do it, but being and IOS guy i have no idea how the android functions and where is should start: Can i make autorunning app that emulates keyboard from the serial input? or what would be the best way for it?
I am currently attempting the same thing. I’m half-way through gathering my parts and pieces so I can’t speak to a functioning example. What I can say is what I am trying to do to leverage the in-vehicle iPod controls to control the Pi.
Search for an android app called “PodEmu”.
It spoofs the vehicle’s head unit into thinking an android device is actually an iPod. You have to create you own DIY cable to make the connection happen but I’ve managed to cobble one together for about $15.
Download the app, plug in your homemade cable and you should be set (in theory). In a perfect world it will even transfer the artist info to your vehicle but I’m currently running into notification enablement issues between PodEmu and LineageOS.
