ugh i’m not buying an entire new stereo and i loved the old android auto app so i’m still sad they killed it and turned it into driving mode. now this :(
I was just now working on a small indash computer running scrcpy to copy my phone screen to a 7inch touch display, and use this. It was supposed to be my drop in upgrade for my car.
Am now sad. 🙁
Used to use it on the motorbike as it made riding but audio only more consistent
I use Google maps almost everyday and I don’t know what driving mode is?
It’s super hidden, the only way I know to get to it is installing an app that launches it in driving mode.
It came after they killed off android auto for phone screens, essentially just using your phone as an android auto unit.
May sound pointless, but if you like the simple interface while driving it’s nice. Especially if you have an android head unit that you don’t want to bother connecting to your phone every time.
I found that the driving mode just made me spend more time fumbling with my phone while driving than if it didn’t exist. It was frustrating and I’ll be glad to see it go. I kept saying I’d turn it off but always forgot to figure out how once I wasn’t driving any longer
