Is there a way to configure Hudiy to connect to a Wireless AP.

For example, currently when I use the URL application to go to www.youtube.com I get a big red ! because it doesn't have any internet of course. But when I plug an eth port into the Pi it works of course.

Now I want to run the Pi inside of the car with a monitor and of course no ethernet

But I do have a wireless AP inside of the car to use as internet.

I just can't find a way to configure Hudiy to connect to a wireless AP in order to watch Youtube videos.

Hope I'm making sense in what I'm trying to achieve, overall love Hudiy and the flexibility!

You can connect your Raspberry Pi to your Access Point the usual way, for example, by using the Network Manager on the Raspberry Pi OS taskbar.

Next, you'll need to turn off the hotspot feature in Hudiy so your Wi-Fi card stays connected to your access point.

Finally, in the main_configuration.json file, you can add your Wi-Fi and access point details to use it for wireless Android Auto instead of the hotspot:

Excellent, thanks very much! That works great, something I did notice. When I'm signed into Youtube from normal Chromium browser, it is signed out when launching it on Hudiy. Same with Google.com...

Am I missing someting?

Also tried now just logging into Youtube, suspecting that the web cache is in a different location (hudiy directories) but I cannot type certain letters as it picks it up as keyboard shortcuts instead of keystrokes to type text in the field...

cache for the Web views is located in $HOME/.hudiy/cache/web. It is persistent cache so should be kept for any loaded website until you manually delete it.

Regarding keyboard, you can disable keyboard events handling in main_configuration.json (handleKeyboardEvents) https://github.com/wiboma/hudiy/blob/ma ... pplication

Something that doesn't seem to work anymore is wireless Android after disabling Hotspot. I can see the phone popping up with "To continue, select Android Auto on your vehicle screen" but then on Hudiy side it shows "connection unsuccessfull"

I currently have the following in the main json file

"hotspot" : {
"enabled" : false,
"hardwareAddress" : "00:01:02:03:04:05",
"ipAddress" : "192.168.20.1", (AP gateway IP)
"passphrase" : "**********", (AP wifi password)
"ssid" : "deW**********", (AP SSID)
"bandwidth" : "BG"
"channelConfigurationType" : "AUTO"
"channelBandwidth" : "40Mhz"
"channel" : 3
},

Try setting ipAddress to the IP address that was assigned to the Raspberry Pi by your router (you can check it using the nmcli command). We also recommend setting a static IP address for the Raspberry Pi in your router's settings.

Did that now, assigned static IP. Also set ipaddress to the same IP as rasp pi. Still the same thing...

Please check if the Hardware Address is correct. Some routers have separate network interfaces for 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. Does the phone connect to this Wi-Fi network from the settings menu? Do all the parameters (hardware address, bandwidth, IP address range) match? Also, Android Auto requires WPA encryption.
