Help:Requested Features

Post any feature requests or hardware improvements you might have here.

Brightness Control

• Unit should startup at 0% brightness when lights are on. Intro can be blinding at night.
• If possible, an even lower brightness setting would be nice. At night, even 0% can be annoying if there are bright images on the display.
• Allow user chosen settings for brightness level when headlights are on or off.

- With Daniel and his team working on this in the background you can use an app called Twilight [1] to adjust the screen brightness at specific times of day automatically. This doesn't fix all the problems listed but can be used as a substitute until a more permanent fix has been developed.

Always on

• Stay powered on after car is turned off.
• Should go into sleep mode, or at least fire a screen off android event so we can use Tasker to pause music or do other things.

Turn-off animation

• Play an animation similar to start up.
• Confirm the unit is powering off before you leave the car... and it´s cool.

Specific car launcher

• Use android desktop interface as default.
• Include an MMI OEM looking launcher as an option. It improves the use of the unit while driving.

(Feature available after FEB18 update patch is applied).

Bigger controls

• Touchscreen controls for BT app are extremely small and, in BT Music submenu, there is some lag.

(Issue partially solved after update as control can be made from wheel).

Bluetooth Number Search

• Create a search icon to type in a persons name to get the number instead of scrolling through all the contacts or using the alphabet indexes.

Bluetooth Music Control Widget on Home Screen & Notification Drop Down Menu

• Create a home screen & Notification Drop Down Menu widget to allow Bluetooth music control

Show sensor display when reverse

• OEM look car display with sensor graphics when reverse will be an interesting feature.

Add Options to launch other apps in map options menu if installed

• current map options include google maps and igo. I would like the oem nav as an option so that one press of NAV button displays factory NAV first. Adding other apps would allow Waze to open when hitting iNav.

Add Prev/Next Track function for Facelift MMI High systems

• Facelift B8.5 (2014-2017) eliminated a number of hard buttons on the MMI console. Previous and next track was built into the volume knob by pressing left and right for prev and next track.
