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.

Bigger controls

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

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 Factory NAV 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.
