the best app is updated with news

Few apps offer Android Auto more utility than Headunit Reloaded, a tool that brings the infotainment system to any screen running Android. With this application you can reuse an old mobile, put Android Auto on an old tablet and even place the projected screen on a car radio with “normal” Android Auto. You didn’t know her yet? Well, it just got a nice overhaul: Headunit Reloaded updates to version 7.0.

Even though Android Auto appears on the car console and we can interact directly with this screen, nothing works in the vehicle: who does all the work is the mobile that is connected, since the car receives only one projection. From then on, and just as one would do with a cinema-type video projector, it is possible to transfer Android Auto to other screens having the possibility of receiving the projection. It sounds complicated, but nothing could be further from the truth: Headunit Reloaded is the perfect tool.

Better Android Auto projection with auto resolution

Reloaded CPU 7.0

We’ve been using Headunit Reloaded for a long time to anticipate all the Android Auto news, there’s nothing more useful for anyone who needs to know what the system offers without strictly entering the car. For example, the application is perfect for knowing if Coolwalk is active, it is also valid for reusing old Android devices by transforming them into a vehicle assistance screen. And now, thanks to the latest update, Headunit Reloaded gains stability while improving its functions.

The application allows you to receive the Android Auto projection in several different ways: by cable, directly on the phone and also by WiFi. Precisely, headunit Reloaded completely improves this type of connection: the developers have redone its implementation to make it more stable and easier to connect.

Another big improvement in version 7 is the automatic resolution adjustment. Before, you had to play with the density and the different resolutions so that Android Auto adapts to the dimensions and the ratio of the screen where it was projected. Now Headunit Reloaded chooses this setting so that the image is clear after login; and therefore the elements of the interface are not badly dimensioned. It works as expected, we checked it.

The developers have optimized the execution on the mobile itself that Android Auto offers so that the activation of the main unit is no longer necessary after unlocking developer options. And they introduced the Spanish translation, another very good news.

The application continues to be divided into two options: a free one with ten minutes of use, so that each user can check if it works on their phone, and a paid one without limitation (4.89 dollars). It is worth it for its intended use: have a screen with Android Auto in the car for vehicles that do not have it as standard. Or for those looking for another way to project their Android Auto: the more possibilities, the better.
