Yeah it basically changes the android interface. With the previous OS, we’re able to set it as default so when it boots up, it opens the app automatically. With the update, it’s not letting us set that app to default. Here was my old layout using car launcher pro.

How do I get car launcher? Is that an app I have to install? Because mine doesn’t look like that. I have normal interface.

Yes, look up Car Launcher pro on google play store. You can configure it yourself.

No, it doesn’t have SIM card you need to have hotspot on your phone or connect to your home WiFi. But why do you need internet just to use launcher?

oh, I understand once you download the app it doesn’t require internet.

I have a weak signal at home, it doesn’t reach the garage very well. The Bluetooth connection from my phone to android screen doesn’t seem to work.

Hotspot comes through Wifi from your phone and you probably may not have this feature depending on what cell plan you have. If you have hotspot turn it on and go to Wifi in Android OS and connect to that wifi.

I jsut received the new harness from them a few weeks ago and had a chance to put it in. Everything works as planned, the touchpad integration is flawless. The screen is nice and huge and OEM looking. The only thing is this is strictly an apple carplay unit because i have not found any android auto features anywhere. He made sure to remedy the problem it just took a while because of oversea shipping and communication timezones. I am very happy with the product over any other units like roadtop. I bought a roadtop display for my 7 inch screen and that did not work at all as the touchpad was literally unusable. This product is vastly a huge improvement and looks way better in the interior making my car feel more modern. Im sorry for the delay but I only had a chance to put in the new harness today. Super pleased with everything and how it looks. I will be switching over from android to apple eventually. Big props to joon at lexion. Recommend to everyone who is interested in getting a bigger screen, who has a touchpad like me, and who wants to integrate APPLE carplay. My car mods are finally complete with this last addition and I am happy for it to be done. I went almost a month without a back up camera. cheers.
hi,Bro, thanks for installing my unit and share

It is awesome to see you come on out of nowhere and respond to a forum, when you have tons of people that you left in the dark that have issues and questions and haven't responded in over a month. We all see how you leave everyone on read with WhatsApp, and refuse to take care of your customers.

If you get lucky and your Lexion unit works well, you will be fine. But if you need anything, you will be left in the dark. DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT if you want to have any support from the company at all.

yeah android auto doesn't work wirelessy, that's a piece of misinformation on the website. I ran into that same issue after troubleshooting for way too long, only to find out from joon that it only supports Apple carplay wireless. Pretty disappointing to say the least.

Supposedly he was reaching out to the engineers for a solve, but that was back in June, so I stopped holding my breath.
