Start a media app and play music on startup
Hello, I've just installed AutoMate from Google Play recently, and I noticed that it requires to manually start the media application first so that the app could resume (or play) the music. I wonder if it's possible to start the default media app on AutoMate startup? And, it would be better if the media control show users the touch feedback (like indication of its song changing or volume up or down). Please consider this in the next update. Thank you so much!

Offline map
I would like to be able to download to download maps for offline use. It seems that MapBox offer that. https://docs.mapbox.com/help/troubleshooting/mobile-offline/ To make things useful, it would be great if we could choose between: an entire country, a province/state or a region/city.
Integrate Emergency Notifications/Amber Alerts/Silver Alerts
Got an emergency notice the other day as a standard pop-up notification. Wondering if you could better integrate these into the UI? Also, maybe add an option to read these out loud so we don't have to read them while driving.
Here We Go offline navigation.
Hello... I am happy to be here with all of you. I want to ask something... I am using Here WeGo for navigation and if you don't know it Here WeGo have an offline function for searching and setting destinations. If you download your country's map once you don't need to connect it to internet ever again. So i am asking... Is there anyway to set my destinations to Here WeGo and then somehow return to Automate and starting my navigation? Sorry if this question seems complicated to you but believe me

Requests to hope to use with Automate
Hi all, I use tihs app on my tablet as car multimedia But 3 things to develop to hope. 1) If you set route when default map is Automate maps, i will show route on maps section. If you select Google maps and set route it will not navigate on maps section. Google maps will start own. Can you make it like Automate maps. And no matter which maps ETA not shown only distance. 2) I downloaded google offline maps but its not usable in this app. Can you make offline maps mode? I need this because my tablet
Can you tidy up Home Screen Please
App is great and i bought it. Using app on tablet as Car multimedia. I have some ideeas: Homepage must be more useful, put a decent speedometer, maybe car like analog type ? Weather status, app shortcut, playing song info, maybe if possible small map screen that drives with you. And when my car starts it cuts power for a while, and i set it turn off when power if off. Can you set delay for it For example if power backs on Xxx second dont apply power off inputs, maybe ? Thanks
Media behavior, sound volume on start
Hello Kahtaf I would like to know how to deactivate the function 'set volume on start', so that when I start Automate the sound level is kept as it was, instead of going to a predefined value. Thank you
Accessing to apps
The GPS button on the navigation bar do not load the chosen GPS app. It load MapBox instead. I have to click a second time. Then it open a menu that gives possibility to load my GPS app. Not easy access enough while driving. Also, the access to all my apps and phone settings from your app is not easy. The best would be to be able to set witch app the navigation-bar icons launch, to have a button that gives access to the list of all apps preinstalled and to be able to personalize the home-screen.
I have a super basic question any help would be appreciated!
all right so this is most likely going to be really embarrassing to even have to ask but I stumbled across this app and I was wondering is there an actual place I can go to check a list to see if I can use whatever this automate thing is with my car I don't even know if it's something that you also have to buy and install in your car if someone could give me the basics of it and maybe let me know if 2015 Acura TLX would work with it I'd be eternally grateful. And if they manage to do it without making

Night time - dimming screen after sunset
Screen is considerably too bright for the car at night (Both the standard view & when music app is to the forefront) & Mate 20 Pro is proving a bit trickier than previous phone to trigger a dim mode at night time. Previous device i had a localle trigger ("Twilight" app triggered on by car Bluetooth connect, twilight set to activate dim between sunset & sunrise). Is there potential for any way to control the device brightness via AutoMate? It'd need to be more dim than the current setting options,
Thankful for Car Mode
Hello Kahtaf. Good to see the community up and running after the demise of Google+. You may remember me as one of your contributors that wished AutoMate was MirrorLink compatible. I was happy to read from this forum to discover that AutoMate is Car Mode compatible. Last week, I created a solution for myself so that I would not have to buy yet another DoubleDIN Touchscreen Car Receiver. I got the idea from xda developers, and their efforts to make Android Auto wirelessly accessible to those whose
New user
I sent an email, but I'll try this too. How do I add widgets or shortcuts on the home screen. I.e.another music app, next song ,etc. I'd also like to have a bigger clock on the home screen. I selected Waze as my default map app it's not coming up. Your default map app appears instead. If I click on the settings icon I can select Waze there. Not ideal for when you're driving So far I do like the app better than android auto

Chinese Android Head-Unit full support
I would like that AutoMate fully support Chinese Android Head-Unit. By supporting, I means: - AM/FM/HD-FM/RDS Radio function. That option could also be used by fortunate peoples that have that function in there phone. - A GUI that scale down automatically on low resolution screen. Android 8 offer an option that can reduce by 50% the scale of apps GUI. It helps... - Support of TPMS, this thing can tell you about problems of your car, detect the pressure of your tires... - Support parking camera -

What is this app good for?
I am a premium subscriber and used automate for my Zenfone m2 and note 9. Everytime I drive I use drive mode to my device so I can use voice command at ease. Now for some reason I can't answer calls in "drive mode" when this app is running how ironic. Do I need a "walking mode" to be able to use this app properly? This is only one and major the disappointments I experienced with this app, there's also not reading your messages outloud when you wanted to and when I dig through settings, which is very
Media Control
Can we please have a music progress bar and previous|pause|next button on the music widget on home screen? This will eliminate the time from moving back and forth between home and music tab just to control music. The drop down control are a bit destructive when you are driving. Also I will not drive with the quick toggle expanded at all times. It would be great to have it on the home screen where you are already displaying the music information. Please consider having those music control functions
AutoMate
If i use AutoMate my Phone is connected to the car by bluetooth. I hear Music from the radio, sd card or anythingelse. When i get a message AutoMate read and tell this over the speaker from the phone but they are disabled by the connection over bluetooth to my car. So, is there any oppinion to change the audiooutput (fake call for example) for AutoMate ? Other Apps use this option a long time ago. Kind regards

Suggestions for Automate
Hello, I would like to give some suggestions to the application. First congratulations to the app, I liked it and bought all the premium features. About the suggestions: 1 - Make the size of the navigation bar customizable, because in the standard size it takes up a lot of space, ideal for smaller cell phones. 2 - Add 2 options in the phone settings. The first is that when the connection hangs up, automatically return to the main menu. The second option is, as soon as you finish the call, automatically
Touch Targets too small
I'm a premium user and I just wanted to give some ux feedback. Compared to Android auto, the touch targets in automate are very undersized. I found this to be true from the outset and have been hopeful that it'd change at some point. Do you have any plans to do so?
