Open Headunit is an Android app that turns an Android tablet, phone, or aftermarket head unit into an Android Auto receiver. It is a revived and modernized fork of the original mikereidis/headunit project, supporting wired USB and wireless connections with high-resolution video decoding.

- run android auto on an aftermarket android head unit
- connect my phone to a car display wirelessly with android auto
- display android auto on a 4k tablet in my car
- use android auto without buying a new car stereo
- automatically launch android auto when bluetooth connects in the car
When to choose
- you have an Android-based tablet or head unit and want Android Auto projection on it
- you need wired USB or wireless Android Auto receiver functionality without root
- you want customization like keymapping, DPI scaling, portrait mode, or HUD flip
