Comments on Brainiac Car Launcher for Android

★★★★★ Great experience with even greater potential! No problems with installation but I did stumble out of the block with static noise. Had to go old school with the grounding technique, but it solved the issue. The sound quality is awesome considering that I'm using the stock Bose Amp in my 350z. Gives it the "tesla dash" look. Few cons are no true radio, volume only on home screen, some movie apps don't play in portrait mode. Gave it 4 stars because it's not quite there yet, but I know it will be.
★★★★★ A necessity for any tablet with their kit
★★☆☆☆ Can you please fix the dim status when is Idol the tablet is gone dimming mode even though tablet is active for like 20 minutes
★★☆☆☆ This app can't do anything. Nice theme, and that is it. You can get much cheaper and even free apps that do a lot more than this app.
★★☆☆☆ Constant crashing, not a single update for fundamental and easy to solve issues for over a year such as integrating with the (paid) USB climate module. Stay away.

Description by Workshop 12 Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Brainiac allows you to seamlessly install a tablet or aftermarket stereo head unit as the new central computer (or brain) for your vehicle built on top of Android.

Through a combination of Android software, hardware integration and unique features, Brainiac allows you to create an incredible customized experience in your vehicle!

Quickly launch applications with large touch targets, control your media and quickly adjust volume and track selection with two finger gestures or manage electrical systems in your car right from your touch screen through the Brainiac Relay Accessory.

NOTE: For Spotify track information to display on the home screen you must make sure that "Device Broadcast Status" is turned on in your Spotify settings.

NOTE: This application contains optional functionality that requires Accessibility API and Appear on top permissions to be turned on to provide global gesture based navigation for home, back and app switcher options. A video showing the functionality and how to turn it on can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYf-jrypCt0
