Automation

Automation Guide

Maximize your convenience by automating the start and connection process.

1. Using Wireless Helper (Easiest)

The simplest way to automate the connection is using our companion app: Wireless Helper

1. Select your Car's Bluetooth device in the app.
2. Set Auto-Start to "On Bluetooth Connection".
3. The app will automatically wake up and trigger Android Auto as soon as your phone connects to your car.

2. Headless Operation (Helper Mode)

If you use Wireless Mode: Helper Mode (Settings -> General), HeadUnit Revived runs a background service on the tablet.

• The service listens for connection requests from your phone.
• Once a request is received, the app pops up automatically.
• Tip: Whitelist HeadUnit Revived in your tablet's "Battery Optimization" or "Auto-Start" settings.

3. Power Users: Tasker / MacroDroid

You can trigger a wireless connection attempt using an Android Intent. This is useful if you have a custom dashboard or complex automation needs.
