Gearslip 0.3.02 connects wirelessly by itself and handles calls from the car.

New

  • Wireless connects by itself. After your first wireless drive, Android asks once whether Gearslip may watch for that car. From then on, Gearslip connects whenever the car's Bluetooth does. A USB cable still wins.
  • End and mute a call from the nav bar, which shows who you're talking to and for how long.
  • Calls you place from the car's dialer go through, even though the phone's call screen can't open on the car.
  • The browser goes full screen, for the whole page or a video in it.
  • The nav bar can hide while you navigate, or until you tap the screen.
  • Directions sit in short bars, so map apps keep their maps clear of them.
  • Share a log from an earlier launch, not just the current one.
  • In the car preview, you type with the phone's keyboard.

Fixed

  • Before each spoken turn, Gearslip asks the car for its speakers, as Android Auto does. Some head units rebooted without this.
  • An app that won't run in Gearslip, such as Yandex Maps or 2GIS, now says so after 10 seconds instead of showing "Starting" for ever.
  • Head units that take only AAC music get one start message, not two. A 2014 aftermarket unit dropped the connection over the second.
  • With music on Bluetooth, the car keeps its Bluetooth source.
  • Head units offering Android Auto 4.x and 6.x get a version they accept.
  • Homemade head units without a certificate keep working, and the wheel buttons and knob work as they do in the main build.
  • A car that reports the wrong screen size gets the right one.
  • iscle fixed how Gearslip frames, secures, and negotiates the connection, and how it checks what the car sends.
