Note: Screenshots may look slightly different to what you see as they were taken whilst using X11 as opposed to EGL rendering. However they are accurate as at the Alpha2 (January 2019) release.

Sets the refresh rate of the screen in Frames Per Second

Note: Some users have reported issues using 60 FPS.

Resolution

480p
720p ^
1080p ^

Change this according to the resolution of your display.

^ 720p and 1080p modes require activation within Android Auto's developer mode (hidden by default) on your phone.

Display

Layer index: 1

Overrides how the Android Auto video feed is drawn. Typically 1 or 2 in EGL mode or 0 in X11 mode. This is set automatically by Crankshaft.

Margin width: 0

Margin height: 0

Sets the video output overscan. HDMI screens should be left at 0, VGA screens can use this to eliminate clipping or black bars.

Android Auto Screen DPI

140

This changes the size of the objects on the screen (Android Auto, not the main gui), soft buttons, cards, etc ... Larger values will increase the size.

Audio

Audio channels

☑ Music channel

☑ Speech channel

Disable audio channel if you need custom audio routing e.g. via A2DP or AUX.

Output backend

RT audio / Qt

This setting may help with audio stuttering when using Android Auto over WiFI.

Pulseaudio input / Output Device

This will select the devices used by PulseAudio. Make sure you save the settings upon initial setup and/or if you change your audio hardware. This is needed to get the volume bars working.

Note: If PulseAudio did not detect any audio hardware, you get the note in the box. If audio hardware was detected, but not defined as PulseAudio's default hardware in /etc/pulse/client.conf, not selected is shown.

Playback Volume

52

Sets the audio volume

Note: To prevent an ineffective initial volume level, if the current volume is lower than STARTUP_VOL_MIN (in /boot/crankshaft/crankshaft_env.sh) during startup, volume is reset to 50% as a failsafe.

Capture Volume

0

Set the volume for your audio input device (mic).

If audio device is changed pulseaudio daemon will restart - reconnect bluetooth is needed to work again!

Timer

Screen Off Timeout

120 Seconds

Minutes of inactivity before the screen goes black if no device is connected. Connecting a device will prevent this timeout from activating. Disconnecting your device will restart it.

Note: If your screen goes to sleep tap the screen to reactivate and restart the timer. Also other inputs like keyboard can wake up the screen by hitting the "anykey" :-)

☐ Disable

Permanently disable the timeout

☐ use screensaver

Allows the use of a screensaver instead of just turning off the screen

Shutdown Timeout

60 Minutes

If a device does not connect to Crankshaft, the number of minutes before Crankshaft will automatically shut down. Connecting a device will prevent this timeout from activating. Disconnecting your device will restart it.

☐ Disable

Hardware Setup

Set up additional hardware attached on top (HAT) devices you may have installed, including selected digital to analogue converters (DAC) and realtime clocks (RTC).

DAC

Raspberry Pi - Onboard

This list contains the DAC devices Crankshaft can set up. If a supported DAC is detected, it will be pre-selected from this list.

To set it up your DAC, check the box Exec setup on save and save.

Note: If you select custom the default input and output devices are removed from Pulseaudio /etc/pulseaudio/client.conf and volume control sliders will not work because Crankshaft doesn't know which device should be controlled. The config for Crankshaft-supported DACs will be removed from /boot/config.txt.

RTC

none

This list contains the RTC devices Crankshaft can set up. If a supported RTC is detected, it will be pre-selected from the list. To set it up select your RTC, check the box Exec setup on save and save.

Note: If you select none the RTC config will be removed.

Timezone

Africa/Abidjan

To set your timezone after selecting it, check the box Exec setup on save and save.
