Caution

  • Flywheel is still experimental software.
  • Use it at your own risk.
  • Do not use it while driving.
  • I am not responsible for bricked headunits.

Setup

Please see the Setup Guide for instructions on how to download and install Flywheel.

Connecting your car

Currently, the only supported connection mode is USB.

By default, you will have to unlock your phone before connecting your car over USB. This is for security, as Flywheel's UI allows full access to your phone as if it was unlocked.

First time connection

After connecting for the first time, you may get a prompt like one of these:

These prompts allow you to grant Flywheel permission to connect to your car over USB.

If you see the Android Auto app pop up instead, please see disabling Android Auto in the setup guide.
