Скачать или смотреть Polo 6R - RCD340 Android Auto - Performance Monitor with OBD2AA

A short clip which demonstrates the OBD2AA and Performance Monitor apps on the RCD340 Android Auto. Car is a Polo 6R. An ELM327 based OBD2 bluetooth adapter is plugged into the OBD2 port of the car. The apps are essentially pulling data from the Torque Pro app.

You can see that the apps aren't very stable. I wish the developers or Google could come up with a stable app which enables displaying stats like these on the head unit through an Android Auto plugin. Would be fun!

EDIT:

1. OBD2AA:

Link - https://labs.xda-developers.com/store...

The OBD2AA app (plugin in the truest sense) pulls data from the ELM327 bluetooth adapter plugged into the OBD port of the car through the Torque Pro app. Pressing the OBD2AA icon from the Android Auto launcher, launches the display which shows various gauges depending on how the app is configured in the phone.

There’s a problem however - the app. is a bit iffy with some smartphones and the app. developer does mention it explicitly. For instance, he says the app is not compatible with Xiaomi but I have an MI A2 and it works 7 out of 10 times without crashing (unplugging and plugging the USB cable works all the time). I get this sometimes.

The app. is only available through XDA Labs (you need to download XDA app first and then XDA Labs through XDA) and is a paid-only app (the amount is only 2 USD though). Torque Pro (the full version of Torque Lite; costs Rs. 250) is also required to be installed. Once everything is installed, plug in the USB cable to the head unit and select OBD2AA from the menu.

This works with all the cars and not just the VW Cars. Try it out, its fun. But don’t lose sight of the road if you’re testing it while the car is in motion!

2. Performance Monitor:

Please go through the following links thoroughly:

XDA Link - https://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...

GitHub Link - https://github.com/jilleb/mqb-pm

Latest release - https://github.com/jilleb/mqb-pm/rele...

Download the latest release (v0.88B) - https://github.com/jilleb/mqb-pm/rele...

But there’s a caveat/small prerequisite - your Android phone needs to be rooted for this app to work! That means unlocking the bootloader as well. This can be a bit tricky on some phones but phones like the One Plus is easier to be rooted and unlocked.

Additionally, you need to install and run AA Phenotype Patcher to enable 3rd party apps.

Download the latest .apk file - https://github.com/Eselter/AA-Phenoty...

And the vex-vag-service v2.4. Download the .apk file - https://github.com/martoreto/aauto-ve....

Vex-vag is a service app; you won’t get an icon for it. Once the installation is done and you’ve given full rights to the app, if you have installed Torque Pro app, enable full plugin access from the settings. That’s it.

Connect the phone to the head unit and you should see the Performance Monitor app and the OBD2AA app there. Enjoy fiddling with it!
