I understand this may seem redundant since this software is often used to build head units, but I've been looking for a solution to this specific issue and hope OpenAuto on Raspberry Pi 4 B can help.
Can OpenAuto -- emulating Android Auto -- act as a phone connected to my car's USB, so I can control Android Auto from my car's head unit screen? As if I were plugging in an Android Phone with Android Auto to my car.
The reason: My car does not pump out enough power to keep my Android Phone charged while in use so I've been looking for ways to make it work in my car without a phone connected via USB. But also, I don't have room on my dash for another screen as my car already has a built-in 8" screen and would prefer a headless RPi4.
If not.
Can OpenAuto, via Bluetooth or USB, connect to my car's head unit and use my car's built-in mic, sound system to control Android Auto on OpenAuto? As well as allow me to control next/prev tracks from the steering wheel? And make "Ok Google" calls and texts via voice?
Or do I have to have a USB mic just for the RPi?
Thanks.
