Android Auto used to just work as an app on my phone. It was great for my bikes. Ram mount, USB 12v, sena, android auto. Everything worked great. Then Google, like they always do, turned it off. Fuck Google. I don’t need a head unit on my motorcycle when I already have a phone.
I repeat, fuck Google.
Aftermarket navigation accessories are incredibly common on motorbikes, the most common ones are phone mounts, or a Garmin unit.
So, there is clearly a need for this.
I’d be very intrigued in a system that lets me leave my phone in my (waterproof) pocket and access audio and navigation on Bluetooth. Let’s get this on bikes asap
Remember folks, Android Automotive ≠ Android Auto. They are VERY different things.
Android Auto has been available for bikes for quite some time. Android Automotive hasn’t.
After driving my current car with Android Automotive for over 45.000 km I can only advice to stay away from vehicles using it
Android Auto (with the car working as a display for your phone) is really nice. AA OS is not.
Sounds like I’m not buying any new KTM with that shit hole software on it.
If that means we can potentially hack it so create our custom fuel mapping, then I’m 100% down.
Naw that’s gonna be on the ecu.
That’s pretty cool! With Android Automotive, bikers can expect some neat features like hands-free navigation and music control, making rides more enjoyable and safe. I can’t wait to see how it changes the riding experience.
