I originally was excited for android auto when I bought the car. I've had the old iPhone 4 plugin on my older pickup, played music and took phone calls using the speakers in the car and microphone attachment. ( i cant STAND AUX plugs and their "disconnected" feeling. ) i switched that for a blutooth adapter and never looked back. When i found out our civics don't support wireless android auto, my happiness went away real fast. I'm not one to be on my phone all day, I don't need to charge my phone every time i get into the car. I listen to music through blutooth, get in and out of the car with no worry about cables anymore, or keys.. that's a good feeling. a few things that bug me though are the limited text message responses the car gives me. i should be able to read messages on my radio panel, and my responses should be able to be respond-able with voice recognition text messages. heh.. reminds me of the Malibu i rented, it would display the text message on the screen... and the reply button was there, but when you hit it, the warning would pop up saying you cant do that while your driving. like it was taunting me with an option i cant choose.
Another concern of mine is when i do connect to android auto using a usb cable, i cant play my music i have stored on my phone - i refuse to use spotify or apps that require internet to play music - i don't have an unlimited data plan and that seems dumb to use internet to play songs you already have stored locally.
I'm curious on buying one of these wireless android auto adapter dongle things. I'm also open to hacking my radio to make these things work as I'm likely going to mod it to be a true flat EQ for my stereo I'm getting ready to install.
TLDR: There are a few things id like to know through using either wireless android auto / Hondahack and whether or not these things are even possible
Can wireless android auto with mods or without do:
1. Blutooth / Wifi audio playback from locally stored audio tracks
2. Text message display on radio / instrument panel with ability to use voice recognition responses so i don't have to pull my phone out when i want to respond with something more personal than yes or no.
3. display / respond-able with other android apps like discord using voice recognition.
Idk i just feel like i have no use for a selling feature from a brand new car, its still not good enough, it feels wrong when i got my 2006 Silverado to have just as many features as this one, 3-4 YEARS ago with aftermarket stuff, and I'm trying to make it useful but it fights me the whole step of the way.
