Android Auto on Raspberry Pi
Step 1: Install Raspbian Pixel
First you will need to download Raspbian Pixel Desktop version.
Now we will need a piece of software called etcher to write the image onto our SD card and USB Storage device.
Step 2: Check for updates
It is always a good idea to check for updates even if it is a freshly installed OS.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Step 3: Compiling
this is the point where a lot of waiting occurs…. we will now need to download the install script from my github
open up a terminal and type
$ git clone https://github.com/novaspirit/androidauto_rpi_install
now we need to change over to that directory
$ cd androidauto_rpi_install
in order to execute the install.sh script we need to change permissions to allow it to execute.
$ chmod +x install.sh
now we can install android auto
$ ./install.sh
this will take about 30 mins or so
Step 4: Connect your phone
once everything is completed you will be presented with an screen. at this point you need to connect your phone to your raspberry pi.

to connect to bluetooth, i know you updated it but what needs to be done after you get everything loaded ?
I would also like to know about Bluetooth. Is it to do wireless android auto? As in you simply connect to it through Bluetooth rather than over USB or is it simply for audio or something? I would like to know how to set it up using a Bluetooth dongle(USB) so that I could use wireless android auto.
This is odd. I'm getting a userid/password prompt when trying to clone the git install.
Nevermind. It helps when I type the command correctly...
:) LOL
Hi! ive tried to install it for a while now, but everytime i am finnished with the installation it wont show up on my 3.5 screen if i plugin a HDMI then i comes right away. what do i do wrong?
How do I exit Android Auto To do something else?
im getting a fatal error
/root/openauto/src/autoapp/Projection/AndroidAutoEntityFactory.cpp:19:40: fatal error: f1x/aasdk/USB/AOAPDevice.hpp: No such file or directory
#include
after that it prints a bunch more error and stop
I should take a look at your script, because somethings wrong. I'm using a rpi3b and it takes over an hour to install and then it ends with the same message as from hfidek. I've re-installed the os with a fresh version of stretch, but now after 4 times trying, i'm trough with it.
my script compiles and install from source and if there is a issue compiling it's possible the main source has something broken. you can try a earlier commit, the commit the video was based on is 53ebc1b
I did it manually from github and this worked fine within 20 mins.
The only thing i had to add was : sudo apt-get install at-spi2-core .
This was because I had a warning : WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown.
Texcuse my ignorance, could you explain to me how to compile from git manually, thanks
what is the video that 53ebc1b?
