KL8 Link site icon

The Challenge

KL8 Link is our own Android Auto receiver app for cheap Android head units. Plug in and go: auto-launch, switches phone to Android Auto via AOA, fills the screen properly (picks closest AA resolution + margins, crop/scale, no bars), recovers from dropouts by itself (watchdog, auto reconnect, stale-session USB reset). Hardware H.264 decode, media/nav/system audio + mic for Hey Google and calls, multi-touch, wireless Android Auto on supported HCT/Microntek units, Music over Bluetooth option, built-in Diagnostics for testing a new stereo. Status: beta, tested on Rockchip PX30 Android 10 head units. Version 0.4.2.

Our Solution

Auto-launch when phone plugged in, Automatic AOA switch and resolution matching, Fills screen properly with crop/scale (no bars), Watchdog auto-recovery from dropouts, Hardware H.264 decode for smooth video, Media, navigation and system audio, Microphone for Hey Google and calls, Multi-touch support, Wireless Android Auto (HCT/Microntek), Music over Bluetooth option, Built-in Diagnostics tool
