CarPlay/Android Auto & Carpe Iter TAB support

Hi Renaldostheold ,

Directly connecting your phone to the Android Auto/Car Play head units only provides access to CarPlay/Android Auto apps. However, what we have been testing and have made work in an LC300 (vehicle type does not matter just stating a fact) is a Car Play AI unit. This is basically an Android device that can connect to Car Play/Android Auto and allows you to run any Android apps within the Car Play/Android auto system. As per our newsletter we have tested one being the AeroPro AMHXD3 (and have reports of another that is working but I do not have the details - it was being installed at an car audio place). The AMHXD3 unit comes with Hema software onboard so for this particular unit you are paying for the Hema licenses however the person that owned it thought that our app should work and he wanted our app vs Hema. We believe the updates we have done to the app will allow all of these types of units to work. There are a number of these available online (Search Car Play AI) and at various car audio places but at the moment we are not making any direct brand/model recommendations.

I was going to test out one of these CarPlay AI Box CarlinKit V3 Plus Box but I actually do not have a Car Play head unit in the car as we have an Android head unit. If someone has one of these or is keen to give it a go I am happy to provide what ever support is needed however I cannot guarantee this particular unit will work however I am fairly confident.

The best part of this I guess is that you plug in the app directly to the head unit USB port and it just boots up and you can move it from car to car. You can connect your phone and still use all the functions of the built in head unit. Hope this helps.
