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.

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!

Used this app for about 3 years (5/2021) and suddenly it stopped working last week (4/2024). Cannot connect through USB anymore. Won't connect via WiFi. Totally useless and really frustrating. Had to do some research and switch to Autozen which isn't as aesthetically pleasing but at least it works.

snappy little piece of software! i use it on an 8" samsung tablet with sim slot. i have a 3-year old audi that is a real challenge to get any kind of google assisted android auto type setup on the screen without changing the entire mmi system (prohibitive cost-wise and a big project at the least), so i opted for using a small tab loaded with HUR in self mode. this allows me to view the same interface of recent version AA as on a car headunit. pretty much all features work very well, and the screen looks great. the exception is whatsapp and sms, which can be tweaked to work with a step or two more than just the usual "hey google, send a msg..." and can work a bit erratically. i also experience some cut off of google maps directions if i'm listening to a radio app at the same time. for example , instead of "turn right in 1000 ft.," i might only hear "...1000 ft." my other issue is that it is both long and tedious both to launch and to close. i haven't figured out if i can use IFTTT or automode to get it up and running. to close the apps (HUR and AA) i have to force close or reboot the tab. in general, though, i find HUR fun and very helpful. i've gotten so used to Android Auto that it's a drag not to have it, and Headunit Reloaded is the next best thing. Kudos to Emil!

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)
