A lightweight launcher utility for Headunit Revived.
This app acts as a trigger to start Android Auto Wireless on your phone. It automatically detects your tablet running Headunit Revived via NSD (mDNS) or a passive TCP trigger, ensuring a seamless wireless connection experience.
- Auto-Trigger: Fires the Android Auto wireless intent as soon as the Headunit is detected.
- NSD Support: Finds your tablet in the same WiFi network automatically.
- Passive Mode: Waits for a trigger from the Headunit (ideal for Tablet-Hotspot setups).
- Zero-Config: No manual IP entry required.
To ensure reliable background auto-start (Bluetooth/WiFi) and a stable connection:
- Disable Battery Optimization (CRITICAL): Go to App Info -> Battery -> select "Unrestricted". Since this app acts as a data proxy for Android Auto, it must not be put to sleep while driving.
- Permissions: Grant Bluetooth and Location permissions when prompted.
- Paired Devices: Select your car's Bluetooth device in the settings.
Wireless Helper supports remote control via Android Intents and App Shortcuts.
- Start Search:
